Hey there, dog lovers! If you’re here just for the dog-related content, skip down a bit. But before we get into it, I want to quickly touch on something different—politics on social media.
A Quick Note About Politics on Social Media
This past week, our country feels more divided than ever. Although I don’t have long-term solutions, I found that taking a break from social media really helped me. The best conversations I’ve had this week were face-to-face, where looking someone in the eye makes for more meaningful interactions. Social media can offer comfort and a sense of community among like-minded folks, but it’s also full of unreliable political stories and can deepen divides. Expressing complex emotions and ideologies in a place where heated comments fly freely doesn’t seem to be bridging any gaps. So, while social media is great for finding your tribe, solving deeper issues might require more than just Facebook.
