On World Mental Health Day we’re launching PROMISE, a research project exploring youth well-being and social media policies.

We aim to understand how these policies affect young people online and develop data-driven recommendations to support their well-being.

I was at the game last night sitting in the top deck. Awesome spot to watch the game but terrible angle on the strike zone. How would you assess the ump's performance last night?

Called! I talked to someone in the office and asked that Gov Newsom sign SB 79. They didn't ask for my address or anything. Is that okay? Let me know if I should call back and provide my info to make sure my call is tallied.

At least traveling in Italy during W's reign wasn't so bad because they were suffering through Berlusconi at the same time

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

When I was pregnant, I learned about Finnish baby boxes. The government sends a box full of newborn essentials to all new parents. I looked up the contents to figure out what I would need for my own newborn. I love this for New Yorkers.

My mom's less poetic version of this was "it's probably under something." Always correct.

Like everyone says, DuckDuckGo is pretty good. My fave feature is that it has a setting to filter out AI slop from image searches. I still use Google to search Reddit. @kagi.com is an interesting new option I have been impressed with so far.

The Costco pills pack a huge dose of lactase -- like 3x normal lactase pills. Feel free to take like five at a time if you're eating dairy. It makes a difference to really load up.

I stay away from fresh cheeses (mozzarella 😭), regular milk, and sweetened condensed milk in particular. Hard/aged cheeses are way safer. Lactose-free milk is pretty good once you get used to the slightly sweet taste.

Monika Neff Lind @monikanlind.bsky.social · 27d

I buy the lactase pills they sell at Costco. They come in sheets, which is nice because they crumble if you keep them loose in a bottle. I put them everywhere -- in all my bags, in the car, etc. They help a lot, but I'm still careful.

The ketchup incident does sound terrible. Is there evidence of repeated bullying? One of the things I'm attuned to is that school shooters get painted as bullying victims and then more evidence comes out that they were bullies themselves or serial sexual harassers, etc.
