Why is ‘woke’ an insult? The opposite is asleep. Unaware. Missing out. Why wouldn’t we want to be aware?

I’m writing something about what government around the world should do about ocean-based climate solutions. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy had some reports I wanted to see, but when I visited, they’re just gone. Sad.

TikTok played a dangerous game with Donald Trump.
We don't know what the future holds for the app, but I for one will not forget the past 24 hours.
I'm not leaving TikTok. Nor should you. Just be mindful.

I didn’t realize so many people think that audiobooks DO NOT count as reading.
They say that audiobooks count as listening, learning, consuming…but not *reading*
My question is:
