    Just because I do these things does not mean it’s optimal. My concern is that social media exists as a method for furthering monetary, political, and ideological aims. It was promised as great democratization, but has done little of it.

    My friend Solomiia has taught her kid to run to to the shelter when the warning goes off even if mom isn’t roght behind. She’s made a fun game of it. It’s great parenting. It would still be easier for her to parent without Shaheds overhead. But hey, I can pat myself on the back because my kid has less screen time.
