On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide. These claims are completely false, and like most viral twitter threads, are coming from a single Mastodon user on a personal vendetta who didn’t provide any sources. Such slander doesn’t deserve any response and is best left ignored.

In the U.S. — a long way away from Ukraine — RISJ sees a different pattern of news avoidance: “We find that consumers are more likely to avoid subjects such as national politics and social justice, where debates over issues such as gender, sexuality, and race have become highly politicized.”

Definitely better than what I can do
Happy to be here and I think I am going to stay.
