Don't forget that you may know people going through it & burying their struggles deep. There's so much stigma surrounding mental health issues. Breaking down that wall of stigma is EVERYTHING. Start a conversation. Show folks they matter. Listen to them. You could make a life-changing difference.
For World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th:

Remember to check-in on people who:

-have been quiet lately
-never ask for help
-always seem happy
-come across as 'strong'
-seem to have it all 'figured out'
-are going through life transitions
-are always there for everyone else
-say they're 'fine'
-you haven't heard from recently

I am practising zero tolerance for this shit. If they use genAI for any part of development, then I don't know how I'm supposed to trust that they aren't using it elsewhere. They keep only being sorry when they get caught, they keep pleading for special exemptions. Just. Don't. Use. It.

August is #TransgenderHistoryMonth! It’s a time to honor the history and contributions of transgender historymakers, pioneers, and trailblazers, and affirms the presence of trans folks everywhere. For an intersectional look at trans history, we encourage you to pick up any one of these 17 titles!

Maybe, now hear me out, JUST MAYBE... Make your platform the best place to post videos? Maybe people won't need to sell themselves to Netflix if you paid them fairly, didn't restrict their videos, banned AI, stop this "Made for Kids" shit, and make tools that help creators? It's really not hard.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.
Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.

All to say: if someone is creating things (art, writing, music) from scratch in this age of slop, for god's sake please just let them do it, and even encourage them. It's better for literally everyone if we create a culture of encouragement around creativity rather than tearing it down.

Word of mouth is basically the only way small team projects can gain any traction. People hate ads with a passion, and ignore creators when they pitch their own work. But people will give something a chance when a person they know says they like something
