[image description: a collage of photos of famous people I don’t
particularly recognize except that they’re surely famous, with wavy text
overlaid that says “Ignore Celebrities”. Underneath is a set of sample
quotes:
“Sorry I never heard of that” “I don’t think about that kind of stuff” “No
that doesn’t really worry me” “I have more important things to do” “Doesn’t
that seem kind of neurotic?” “I don’t really care” “That seems like an
issue that’s out of my hands” “it isn’t my problem” End description.]
Some of those quotes are a bit judgier than I’d really be, but it all boils
down to the fact that there is clearly so much money to be made by so many
“news”/entertainment outfits based off making people care about random
famous people whose lives genuinely do not and should not matter to
ordinary people. I gently urge y’all to catch yourself when you wind up
letting yourself be overinvested in these genuinely irrelevant people, and
remember, “who benefits from me giving a shit about this? Literally no one
with good motivations.”
I’m not saying pay no heed to current events, I’m saying, ignore
celebrities. Who gives a fuck about anyone’s personal life. Mind your
own business, especially if someone’s trying to profit off making you
care about something that genuinely ought to affect basically no one.
