In recent years, we became too comfortable letting #Twitter define journalism & media. Algorithms often dictated the narratives we collectively paid attention to.

Absurd trends were covered by news outlets & ballooned into major stories while we missed so much real substance. And the quick takes of uninformed politicians & bad actors were forced upon anyone participating in the network.

It was bad for democracy. The #Mastodon model makes me hopeful we can do better. #twittermigration

Dear Friends,

This is the time of the semester when the academic stress level gets higher in North America. This is a gentle reminder for us all to focus more on our physical and mental health. You all are awesome, and you all will get everything done by the end of the semester. Do not stress yourself, and try to enjoy the time.

Also, please feel free to share any frustration here. We will learn from you and share your grief.
