Sharing deranged propaganda (including opinion pieces) that makes you feel bad so that other people can equally feel bad or be outraged isn't raising awareness, it's just participating in the propaganda.

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

In Breaking-News-Situationen - wie jetzt dem Attentat in Utah - sind das generell sinnvolle Empfehlungen 👇
![Breaking News Consumer's Handbook
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qjoddtmp5jxzkzvt3hoqz3tt/bafkreigi2e6uxrt67htjbrfcmtpbasfuz4jvetyyecnqvxxyt45zile72y@jpeg)

Had a fight with my gps and ended up spending a lot more time in the car than I had planned. On the upside: I happened by that goat farm (not at all near my route) that has amazing cheese and now I have all the cheese and on the other upside

Hi there plant friends 🌱, has it been as dry where you are? Finally gave in and started using tap water. May already have lost some blue pillows and thyme. But! The thistle is doing great. So I'm considering getting more in that spot. Any thoughts on thistle gardens? Other plants that go along?

where are the conversations about #malinformation at?
Misinformation = false or misleading information spread by people who believe it’s true.
Malinformation = true information used in misleading or harmful ways.

Saving Private Ryan was a terrible date movie
Here’s a fun distraction what’s the worst movie you’ve watched on a date? Mine is a tie between “Hidden Colors” and “La La Land.”
