What If You Didn’t Need to Feel Better to Live Better? by Steven C. Hayes

Such simple, commonsense advice, but so difficult to apply consistently: "the more you try to control your inner world by avoidance... the more control it has over you." — Harris @ Medium

Can You Spot Fake News? Many Can’t When Scored on a Validated Test by Andrea Romeo RN, BN

https://medium.com/wise-well/can-you-spot-fake-news-many-cant-when-scored-on-a-validated-test-19ccd336e1e6

Designed in 2023, this is the first scientifically validated tool to measure one’s susceptibility to misinformation (meaning it’s repeatable and reliable). As Andrea Romeo explains, "it’s on all of us to stay sharp-eyed out there, raise our information standards, and learn to question what’s presented to us online." — Harris @ Medium

? We're really excited to be fully rolling this out: As of today, our #Mastodon instance me.dm is fully open to all Medium members!

If you're a Medium member, read on to learn how to quickly and easily get your @me.dm account up and running: https://blog.medium.com/join-mastodon-with-medium-e2d6d814325b

Here’s @coachtony sharing more about what we’re up to with me.dm, why we’re excited about #Mastodon and the #fediverse, and what it will mean for #Medium writers and members.

As @coachtony writes:

”Today, Medium is launching a Mastodon instance at me.dm to help our authors, publications and readers find a home in the fediverse. Mastodon is an emerging force for good in social media and we are excited to join this community."

"Like all new platforms, there is a learning curve. We are especially cognizant that we are joining an existing Mastodon ecosystem which already has 9 million people. This ecosystem has existing community norms that are especially focused on avoiding the toxicity that have plagued other social media platforms."
