A New Kind of Scandal Is Growing Online. It’s Ruining Careers—and Aimed at the Wrong Target.
A culture of callouts, paranoia, and fear may prevent the media from wrestling with much more uncomfortable questions.

Very little interaction on here (ok, on any socials tbh) but let's try this anyway: I'm looking for a beta reader group to swap poetry. I miss the community it brings, and my poems miss the critiques. Anyone out there? If you are, please enjoy this short story elegantly composed by my 5 yo.

We let the imaginary land boundaries feel tangible, but-- “What is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry?” - from The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
