“Climate change and climate anxiety was the No.1 topic. The stress and helplessness people felt was real. We’re being handed a crisis we didn’t create, but we’re expected to solve it.”

What if it’s not social media?

Young people around the world are in the middle of a mental health crisis. We want to blame Facebook and TikTok. What if we’re wrong?

I think a lot about the despair of these times. The antidote, for me, is to concentrate on doing good and kind things, with intention, no matter how small. If enough people do this, we will come out the right side x

Liz @mivoicetoo.bsky.social · 16d

Very kind words Sharon. I don't see it that way, just able to do something so that's what should happen.

Liz @mivoicetoo.bsky.social · 16d

Thanks so much for your support Mike 🙏

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

Could NYT assemble a panel of genocide scholars, international law experts and Palestinians to debunk Israel’s excuses for obliterating Gaza?

David M. Perry @lollardfish.bsky.social · 18d

After Trump's announcement about tylenol and autism, the NYT assembled a panel of experts, including an autistic person and a parent or an autistic person, to assess and debunk the claims.

It's a good model. I'd like to see them use it more often on more topics.

Currently wish there was a nation-wide campaign to saturate Labor caucus with intense pressure to stand and call for the safe passage of the Australian citizens in the Flotilla.

Liz @mivoicetoo.bsky.social · 21d

There was exceptional community organising in the US to fight off Trvmp’s reelection after his first term. Resources, campaigns, precedents. Very dense at grassroots level. And easy to engage with, opt for 3 or 6 5-minute actions a week, for example. It was built to scale up easily.

What a lot of meaningless bluster from this guy.

Liz @mivoicetoo.bsky.social · 23d

Is that the same mindset that accounted for him ordering drone strikes on family gatherings across the Middle East?

I haven’t had to make that link before in real terms but yes, here we are.

I certainly do. And I remember her indolence when people raised questions about it.
