Best mail is books arriving in mail! I was excited to blurb this book - although they do tend to cut 70% of the nice, thoughtful things you have to say 😁. The Kids Are Online by @ysabel.bsky.social is smart, carefully researched, compassionate to varying anxieties in this space and so so timely

Digital Mental Health Symposium organized by @marjokolehmainen.bsky.social et al is just starting with Ady Evans' keynote on good vibes. Join here bit.ly/48scfgG if inclined, mine is on mental health, authenticity & social media tomorrow on the same stream at 10:15 FI time

This is today (in English, 4 pm Estonian time), accessible via Zoom. This one will be a version of a "grand tour" (I'm also doing a talk next week in Turku for the Digital Mental Health symposium, which I think is also available online, and that one will be more specific). Links: shorturl.at/0aOnO
