Do you receive Write Mentor's weekly newsletter? Stuart and Co. are always insightful, inspiring and real about #kidlit writing.

This week Stuart posted this quote:
"Ambition without action becomes anxiety."

Whoa! That speaks to me!
Carrying this into the new year! ❤️

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.
