Group update: I hope everyone is doing what they need to to heal and get through whatever stages of grieving you all are in over the election. I am very heartend to see this community group being a place to help all forms of this happen online.
Also noting that even post election, we are still seeing dozens of new folks join each day. I think looking for exactly that sort of online space to commiserate, and once we are through that, to plan to #Resist
@tchambers@heidilifeldman “Something useful to do after major real-world events: Evaluate and cull your sources of information and social media. Did a source make your smarter or dumber about what was happening? Did it teach you things you didn't know, even if you disagreed with its arguments? Or did it merely provide empty internet calories of outrage or conventional wisdom? If the latter, time to move on.”
Everyone: what are you doing to cope with your own shock and grieving over the election? Put those in the comments.
I do hope this community can be a place of comfort, and connection. At my main account @tchambers I'll be posting some ways I am and will boost those here.
