here's 3 questions for over thinkers for writing that first post (it me i'm over thinkers ).
- what are you struggling with? post about it.
- what length is easy? that's the length.
- how can you avoid the block? it's the first post, avoid them.
there's always a way.

Facts anchor perception into reality.

Our minds love tangible ideas, and facts take the abstract and make it tangible. Saying 'food insecurity is a problem' is different to 'nearly 35 million Americans are food insecure'. Facts catch our attention and build interest.

Talk in facts to ground ideas.

3 banger bits of writing wisdom from master copywriter @harrydry.bsky.social:

1) every sentence must be visual, falsifiable, & unique to you

2) say more facts, there's interesting stories behind facts

3) start with a time, place, and events to immerse readers

4 free city alternatives to sitting depressed at home

1) do nothing in the city library, or a university library
2) sit on a train/bus station bench, no need to go anywhere
3) stand by a tree in a public park, or find a place to sit
4) public playground swings

Stay safe, stay silly, stay sane
