That feeling is why I #SharGoodNewsToo Many things are terrible, but the year we have a malaria vaccine, a shot that gives 100% HIV protection, & global carbon output is finally *falling* not rising should see a mix of headlines not 100% bad. They want despair; despair stops action #HopeIsResistance

Yup! Don’t have link handy though. They’re based on studying the immune reactions of those of Canada’s health staff who endured the unvaccinated early months in 2020-1 without infection.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Reminder for a rough day: bad news gets re-shared 100x as much as good news, creating the morale-eating doomscroll illusion in which it seems like all news is bad, while real victories don’t get reported. We need to see victories to remind us the fight is worth-it. Don’t forget to #ShareGoodNewsToo

I line up for a covid jab just as soon as the authorities say I'm eligible for one. You should too, if you can. (I have friends who can't get jabbed because they're immunosuppressed. I selfishly do not want them to get sick.)

Been out for a bit, but noticed that the 2023 data on BLM oil and gas leasing came out today. Biden is keeping it far lower than prior administrations. It's far easier to stop drilling by not leasing than through any kind of action once a lease is issued & a property right created.

I hope you enjoy! Just remember that books 1 and 2 are really one book cut in half, so book 1 has no resolution and is all setup, but book 2 is all payoff and I promise that 2, 3, and 4 all have real endings!

Rereads are amazing for me too. I just reread most of Will to Battle for the new audiobook and it was so intense revisiting that stage, especially for Dominic & Carlyle, also Martin & Sniper. I’m so glad they cast so many trans & non-binary cast members, who are doing the character journeys so 🌋🎉!!

We see this in all stages, from the printing press pamphlet wars of the 1500s, to radical early radio, to the use of the mimeograph/ditto machine by radical groups ranging from civil rights groups & LGBT communities to the KKK.

In research on censorship we call that the Early Adopter Effect, that the 1st adopters of new information technologies always included those who were being silenced under older systems, thus including the most feared voices & making them suddenly disproportionately loud. This is my current research
