    Educating you of course. Next week I will throw in some Tracey Cox stories. Imagine if you could improve your pelvic health and win mind blowing orgasms!

    I do throw a few Manchuster Slaver & BS Broadcasting corporation ones in as well.

    ...There’s something else in the etymology, though. Particularly in the word doom. Originally, the word had connotations that related it to judgement day and the end of the world, but now it's just as likely to be associated with destruction or ruin. The act of doomscrolling, then, is to roll toward annihilation.
