A teenager redrew the Alabama voting map - and it's now state law

Earlier this month, after years of litigation, a federal judge in Alabama ordered a new state senate map. In a surprising decision, the map she chose wasn’t one drafted by a court-appointed special master and his expert cartographer, but rather...

If you're growing, you'll be hated.

Not because you're bad - but because you're visible.

Hate isn't a glitch. It's part of human nature + bad online incentives. Even here on Bluesky.

(In the alt of the image, find out how to deal with haters forever...) 👀

Once your words reach beyond your circle, you'll trigger someone's insecurity, boredom, or weirdness.

So the question isn't how to avoid hate - it's how to face it without becoming hard or hollow.

1. Understand what hate really is.

It's not feedback. It's projection.
Fear. Jealousy. Loneliness. Confusion.
People lash out at what makes them feel small or unsure.

When someone calls you fake, cringe, manipulative - pause.
Ask: What part of them is speaking?

Most of the time, it's not about you. It's their insecurity wearing your name.

2. Respond like people are watching. Because they are.

Don't reply to the hater - reply for the quiet readers.
They're watching to see if you'll spiral or stay grounded.

Kind, calm, clever replies win trust.

Examples:
• "Not everyone likes my approach - that's okay."
• "Thanks for the perspective."
• "You might be right. Or not. Still, appreciate the read."

Grace is power.

3. Don't perform for people who hate you.

Don't dilute your voice to avoid judgment.
Don't write for people who don't get it.
You're not here to be universally liked - you're here to be felt by your people.

4. Block freely.

It's not weakness. It's protecting your peace.
Let them yell into the void. You're building something.

5. Stay human.

Don't become what you're trying to resist.
Speak with warmth. Rest. Touch grass.
Even if your post is digital - you are real.

Let them talk. You're building a sky of your own.

Ever dealt with hate just for being visible?
How did you keep your voice steady?

I took this photo at the Colosseum right after realizing I hadn't posted on Bsky in 4 months.

Not because I disappeared, and definitely not because I ran out of things to say...

(Tap the image & read the alt text to find out...)

I've actually been here the whole time... just in a different way.

Behind the scenes, I've been helping others build their voice on this platform.

Refining how they show up, how they connect, how they stand out in all the noise and how they generate attention and grow.

It's been meaningful, creative, and honestly kind of addictive.

But somewhere along the way, I stopped showing up for myself.

Standing in front of the Colosseum brought something up for me.

This thing has lasted thousands of years, not because it shouted the loudest, but because it stood with presence and intention.

That hit me.

I don't need to post often or loudly, but when I do, it'll be deeply me.

So here I am.

Back, and glad to be.

NEW: WI law prohibits regulators from considering air pollution or GHGs when making public interest determinations for fossil fuel power plants, and prevents them from requiring utilities to ⬆️ their share of renewables

So youth are suing over these laws

The suit, which follows legal victories in Montana and Hawaii, alleges violations of the state constitution and says Wisconsin law impedes a transition to renewable energy, locking in harmful air poll...

The motto of the village of Èze in southeastern France is the phrase Isis Moriendo Renascor (meaning "In death I am Reborn") - highly appropriate that the village was inhabited by Maurice Blanchot for a decade from 1947.
