      My Twitter break was extremely good for my mental and physical health, mostly because I wasn't staring at a constant stream of pain all day. So, something has to change. (Cont'd)

      One of they key benefits of Twitter to me is exposure to marginalized voices I don't come across any other way. For every mainstream article playing "both sides," my Twitter feed educates me on the real history and story underneath.

      I *love* this and I don't want to shy away from it. But I want to consume it on my schedule, not Twitter's.

      So, I'm looking for news sites/sources curated by marginalized people. I want these stories, but at the time of my choosing.

      If I could get my Twitter news in digest form, I would. Every day at 5pm is "horror hour" and I get all my news and rage at the time of my choosing etc etc

      But I don't know of anything like that. And I don't want to exchange my Twitter feed for a mainstream news subscription. Too much is erased.

      Does anyone have any suggestions here? A source of news that will expose me to stories on Indigenous history or the prison strikes or Black women being so woefully underserved by our medical system. Something I can consume on my schedule and not in a feed format.

      Others have said turning off retweets has made twitter dramatically less upsetting. That, in conjunction with an rss client populated with the sources of those stories that you see around here might do the trick.

      I'm just worried that disabling RTs means I might miss important topics

      so I want to have something else setup first, because that's my goal (to disable RTs)

          Could spending a month populating an RSS feed from the sources in your upsetting RTs before turning them off help? Also, there are tools to turn tweets/RTs from specific users into RSS feeds, for the accounts that may fall into stuff you want, but not on your TL.
