“In a race to the bottom, Elon Musk paved the way for a new, toxic tech basement,” says Nora Benavidez, senior counsel at the nonprofit Free Press. “Yet, as long as other platforms aren’t quite as abysmal, they squeak by under cover of Twitter’s failures.”

God’s timing is so perfect. I was in a situation that would have possibly had me sad and isolated but because of a pre-planned early birthday trip, I was given the space and reminders of the beauty of life and how far I’ve come. So grateful.
