Is writing newsletters/Substack posts how I'm processing the world now? Bad things will happen, and we'll have to move forward. What alternative do we have? #stillIrise #newsletter #movingforward open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...

Why did I want to know what was happening in the world this morning? I already need more positivity in my day.

New #TikTok update gives the government access to your “sexual life” and sexual orientation

The City of Philadelphia is suing the Trump administration after the National Park Service removed a long-standing exhibit on slavery in the city's Independence National Historical Park. https://cnn.it/4jSDTZQ

🚨This is the new TikTok Privacy Policy I found on Reddit. Read it & pass this on. Looks like they can pull from USER CONTENT race, religious beliefs, mental/physical health diagnosis, sex life, status as transgender, citizenship/immigration status & more personal info.

My daughter has stated that she is tired of living through major historical events. I couldn't agree more.

Never letting this go. Thank you, Stephen Colbert!

There’s so much happening right now. Hopefully this week's newsletter helped me process. What do you think about what's happening? What do you use to give yourself a break #newsletter #currentevents open.substack.com/pub/lonicame...

I'm going to retreat out of social media for the rest of the night. The news... this is all too much.

an older friend told me once about being a teenager when kent state happened. he said he thought "that must be wrong, they couldn't have done that," and by the next day he realized he would never have that thought again.

I would like to live ignoring the news just a little while longer. Okay?

Commas are important!

If I want to hear from average Americans about the news, I'll go to social media. We need journalists to seek and speak the truth to us.
