   I feel like there should be a little orientation for commenting on current/tragic events. Like would you want someone to yell about architectural tropes or share a niche fact about foot health every time you stub your toe? Maybe take a second and think about who is being affected or harmed the most in a current event and then ask yourself if it's time to share the one thing you know about this topic (or worse) hijack the topic to something you just like talking about.

     This is me thinking about how *public* discourse could be better. I'm not trying to discourage you from telling your friends every weird fact you know about foot health or water management or that one time you met Blake Lively, etc.

     @shauna For sure. It would require social media spaces to be a little more intentional about their purpose instead of trying to have every space be for every conversation.

     @baconandcoconut one of the hard parts is that when you're posting your speaking in many modes and to many groups at once. I wish modern social media was less individualized and more about collectively cultivating spaces
