making things up is very fast! rushing to judgement takes no time at all! doing even the most basic due diligence on things - especially in an information environment like this one - takes so much longer than you might expect.

just to get all process-y for a minute: a reason that media publlications don't operate at the speed of X or Reddit is that reporting - gathering information, assessing credibility, reviewing source documents, talking to people, checking facts, getting comment - takes longer than "big if true"

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

there's a lot of attention to be gained from taking advantage of people's very valid panic, fear, frustration, anger, and disgust–and often these feelings overwhelm and prevent us from slowing down to ask, say, "is this someone i trust? are they qualified? are they providing something of value now?"

it's worth remembering that people tend to position themselves as experts on a topic as a means of coping with perceived lack of power, particularly when posting feels action. and we can see and understand that while also realizing a lot of people here don't always know what they're talking about.

Hurricane Beryl is now a “potentially catastrophic” Category 5 hurricane, the earliest ever to reach that strength in the Atlantic. Grenada and the nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines were reeling from a storm that probably will be the region’s most intense hurricane on record.

one of my various hills is if you're writing for a broad audience - ie you're not a trade publication with a narrow focus on technical experts - and you don't translate jargon into accessible prose *and give a sense of the consequences* you're not actually writing for a broad audience

it is always interesting to see people be upset when large companies very explicitly say they’re going to reject environmentalism or DEI when they are not themselves doing anything at their organizations from the other end of the spectrum.

For many years, mobile has been my primary and preferred form factor for reading, writing, communication. I’m mostly on mobile even when desktop is an option.

Kudos to @buttondown.email, which now has one of the most efficient writing-on-mobile interfaces of any similar platform / CMS I’ve tried.
