You're welcome! After this last week, I'm focusing on constructive goods which can be done - and part of that for me is trying to help people break out of the swamp of despair that is social media at this moment. There is a lot of fatalism and undirected (or misdirected) rage, lots of circular firing squads, and it's all being amplified and directed by people like Musk or Zuckerberg. It's making them money.
I want people to stop hate-watching and doomscrolling, talk to other like-minded people directly, and put that energy towards making lives better instead of talking about how bad everything is or is going to be. Because that's going to go a whole lot further in getting us through all this with the lowest body-count manageable.
