We're featuring an episode from NPR's science podcast Short Wave about what happens in our brains during conflict: Why it tempts us to shut down, and how we can navigate difficult conversations—political or otherwise—without losing control.

So we're featuring an episode from NPR's science podcast Short Wave about what happens in our brains during conflict: Why it tempts us to shut down, and how we can navigate difficult conversations—political or otherwise—without losing control.

It's gaslighting to tell people they are somehow weak and seeking an echo chamber if we block them for being shitty to us.
Attention should be earned, and this era of people feeling entitled to be horrible to others has proven that many folks do not deserve our attention, time, or energy.

Happy to be following all the people who want positive change.
I’m hoping we can find ways to make an impact on the political landscape but also in our everyday lives. It starts small and at home.

I made an early exit from Twitter, but back in the day (2010s) I was @almostfancy, and later @disguisedrebel.
I took it all a bit too seriously at the time. Will not repeat that mistake (again).

Looking to follow accounts that discuss politics, sustainability, and feminism. Not interested in anyone who dabbles in conspiracy theories.
I would also love to find people who report on mis/disinformation.
