It’s not complicated: 1. Espousing hateful ideologies leads to a climate of increased violence 2. Standing up to those hateful ideologies is an attempt to push back and protect the vulnerable 3. Equating the two as “opposing viewpoints” legitimizes the hateful ideology as normal and acceptable...

As I and others have been saying for some time now. Please read this. It might make you be more cautious. www.bmj.com/content/390/...

You, yes YOU, need to listen to this episode or Rare Earth from @helenczerski.bsky.social, about skyrocketing power demand from data centres. Particularly now that the UK govt is asking residents to use less water so it can cool the Slop Generator.

Not only is everything horrific right now, but we're also having to unlearn our ways of being (what I call Old Happy, or the ways that individualism/capitalism/domination have shaped us) and evolve into humans who are capable of making the new world we want. It's hard. Let's be kind to each other.

this, and some of y'all used this as your blank justification to abandon masking and the common good, and refuse to see how that behavior led to where we are today

I hope this piece helps you to understand more of the psychology behind the genocide and equips you with the language and tools to be able to address it stephanieharrison.substack.com/p/moral-enti...

Have you heard about the moral get-out-of-jail-free card?

In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote a gorgeous, prescient essay called “The Pandemic is a Portal”. In this piece, I discuss who actually walked through it: the COVID conscious community, and why I’m proud to be a part of it. www.thegauntlet.news/p/the-pandem...

Dozens of Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday as they tried to get food aid, according to local health authorities, one of the deadliest days in recent months for those seeking assistance. By Joe Hernandez, @danielestrin.bsky.social and Anas Baba

“The study found that 14% of infected infants and toddlers and 15% of infected preschoolers had probable long COVID, similar to rates in teens and school-aged children.” Apparently toddlers aren’t 🦄. Who knew?

Zohran!!!!!! Hope lives!!! 🗽

AND on top of all these excellent reasons, OpenAI is collaborating with the fascists and AI is a tool of authoritarianism. Stop using Empire’s tool to do what humans should be doing—making art—to fight against it!!!!

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

Imagine being so craven that 5.4 million people show up to your anti-birthday party

It’s only hopeless if we give up, because we are the hope.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is [email protected].

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

Happy Earth Day! Our pursuit of “happiness” is destroying our planet.

The mental health epidemic no one is talking about

How to be a moral leader in immoral times:

Stop saying “the country is so divided” and instead, start describing what’s actually happening:

We need to bring back virtue

Can you be happy—even right now? I think the answer is yes. And I'd like to help you see that, too. That's why I'm kicking off another round of my free 5-week training program to teach you the New Happy philosophy. If this sounds helpful, I'd love to see you there! www.thenewhappy.com/bookclub

Feeling helpless? Feeling angry? Feeling like there's no hope? Come join our weekly New Happy meeting tomorrow at 12pm ET. It's an hour long, and we will spend time connecting and helping — I can promise you'll leave feeling a bit better. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

One day I’m going to finally publish my piece breaking down modern “stoicism” and how it upholds Old Happy culture, but for now, enjoy. And if you’d like to do something that’s actually better for your mental health and the world, may I recommend… Starting your day by HELPING SOMEONE

It's okay if you're not okay. And you *need* to let others know that. If you don't, how will they help you? That said, I know it's hard to know how to communicate that you're not okay. In my latest piece for CNBC Make It, I share six strategies that can help. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/t...

Exactly. It’s proof that Old Happy doesn’t work. You can have it “all”—but it won’t make you happy.

Feeling despair? Feeling lonely? Feeling helpless? Come to our New Happy movement gathering tonight. We’ll be connecting as a community and taking action to make our world a happier place. I’d love to see you there! us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

How to stop feeling “behind” in life:

What if COVID doesn't just make sick, but makes us easier to infect? Experts say the virus is chipping away at our immune systems. But some aren’t convinced. I spoke with doctors, scientists, and parents caught in a relentless cycle of illness, and here's what I found:

In my latest: As Herman Daly put it, modern civilization has been powered by a machine that regards Earth "as if it were a business in liquidation."

Are you thinking, “I want to help make the world better, but don’t know how to get started or what to do!” I've got something for you. I’m launching New Happy weekly meetings. Every week, we'll get on a Zoom and do one thing to make our world a happier place. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Anomie (noun): 1. a state of normlessness 2. an experience of profound isolation from others 3. a framework explaining what is happening in the United States stephanieharrison.substack.com/p/the-word-t...

Let yourself be moved by what you’re witnessing today in the #handsoff protests. Let yourself be hopeful about what this means. Let yourself feel the truth—that despite how it sometimes seems, you are not alone. These emotions are the fuel that will power your next steps.

Guilt is pretty important to a functioning society, as it turns out.

If we could just learn to turn off that part of our brains that says, "Our problems are too huge, nothing I do could ever make a difference!" And instead, learned to turn on the part of our brains that says, "What's the good I can do right here and now?"... Our world would look very different.

May their cruelty compel you to be more compassionate. May their complacency foster your moral clarity. May their cowardice inspire you to act courageously. May their callousness guide you towards community. May their cynicism strengthen your commitment to a better world. #newhappy
