I really need to stop listening to talk radio. Almost every day presenters will ask why young people experience depression & anxiety. A talking point second only to being mean about immigrants, LGBT+ people, or pretty much anyone that isn’t just like them. Never seeming to make the connection.

Just watched a fitness bro on Instagram say how unhealthy foods ‘with ingredients you can’t pronounce’ are. Try listening to a British person say ‘Jalapeño’.

Listening to a bunch of journalists (who I admire and respect) talking about how podcasts are full of misinformation about health and nutrition. Absolutely true. But *the exact same people* spreading these mistruths on podcasts have been doing so in conventional media for years.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Obvs, I’m your number 1 fan, so great to see you talk about the bill gates milk conspiracy. This is why so much of the media discussion about ‘ultraprocessed food’ is so dangerous. Often over simplifies really complex issues and leads to this kind of dangerous misinfo.

The nicest man in garden media too. 💚

Farming *really* needs much better advocates than the ones I have seen interviewed at these protests.

In my hippy high school, we had: a) Mandatory volunteering with charities helping the vulnerable. b) A nursery to grow trees to restore a local rainforest. c) Even an annual culture & food night to celebrate the founding of the United Nations. All of this is less wholesome than my Bluesky feed.

*Peeks in* This is better than the bad place, right?
