Funny enough my mental health has been improved by watching Star Trek. Whenever I notice myself doomscrolling at home I’ve started watching it instead. It’s something I’d always meant to watch and I’m enjoying the concept of people trying to live up to higher ideals

More people should figure this out. Star Trek is essential to a healthy media diet.

I also recommend a regular dose of stand-up comedy.

I would do that, but a lot of standup comedians have taken to ranting against people like me for daring to be offended when they insult us. I miss when I could just throw on any random standup comedy and have a good time without having to check if there’s a transphobic rant in it

Yeah.

Annecdotaly, Dropout.tv has a good number of LGBTQ employees, seems conscious not to shit on people, and has a growing library of stand up.
