Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

This! I want Kinsale-level shenanigans. Chase-style character work. Joanna Bourne or GTFO.
I am so ready to read some romance novels that take Big Risks. Give me stakes. Real imperfections. Trust me to not need your characters to be exemplary, highly-therapized individuals. I’d like a theme or two, but I am not a baby bird, and I can chew on it myself

Gonna repeat: Democrats love to ask how Trump voters can be so stupid. And yet, 50% of New Yorkers are supporting Cuomo who is a serial sexual harasser, got thousand killed during COVID, and orchestrated GOP control of the NY legislature.
Andrew Cuomo literally architected GOP control of the state legislature. He is the definition of a DINO.
Do not rank Andrew Cuomo on your ballot.

Eric Adams got his corruption charges dropped. All it took was selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump.
We’re all tired of this spineless, failed mayor, but remember: Andrew Cuomo is running for Adams' 2nd term.
Same donors. Same chaos. Just a new Trump ally in Gracie Mansion.

My hometown library has lost its funding due to Moms of Liberty. I would never in a million years ask any of you to donate when we are all strapped trying to survive on our own. But this library is important to me. Fairhope is a “small town” and to lose the library would be devastating. #fundlibrary

Our landlord is ending our lease 3/8. Know of any big kitchens that may work for a friendly+clean food bank on Sundays? Any ideas welcome: community centers, commercial kitchens in offices, churches, schools, restaurants closed on Sundays. Let us know! We have people who depend on us for food.

Here is how I did the hair! It is turkey stitch plus curling the thread. Curl it in the same manner in which you curl ribbon 🎀
