Believer in the importance of journalism, the reality of climate change, and humans' ability to solve problems by working together.

[Allen Arthur @LissomeLight]

Journalism needs to confront two serious communication issues: You cannot inspire widespread prosocial behavior with fear, and you cannot build meaningful empathy through pity.

Surveys indicate that only between a quarter and a third of Americans care about #climatechange. The Potential Energy Coalition, a #nonprofit dedicated to raising public awareness of climate issues in the U.S., aims to change that: https://t.co/isY91xnjyT

What a beautiful day of @soljourno announcements!

We’ve recently seen disturbing antisemitic attacks and a troubling rise in Islamophobia. If you are committed to a future of equality and peaceful coexistence, please stand united against anyone who promotes hatred of any kind.

My Nike collection drops tomorrow 😭 nervous is not enough to describe this feeling.

[Julia Power Burns @JuliaPowerBurns]

Check it out ⁦@soljourno⁩ ⁦@leahktodd⁩ and ⁦@JuliaPowerBurns⁩ in New Hampshire! Thanks for the coffee and walk on the trail 🙏 - here’s to more time in the mountains talking journalism and life.

To GOP operatives working overtime to disqualify votes from deployed troops because you think it helps your guy: look in the mirror and ask yourself how it came to this.

If you want to know how our party is going, this is the moment when @hotzthoughts broke out her ukulele to sing "10,000 Stories" to the tune of "500 Miles" by The Proclaimers. Typical Friday.

[Solutions Journalism Network @soljourno]

If you want to meet the person whose solutions story was the 10,000th in our Story Tracker, it's Meg!

Nothing but love to @WSJMag for letting me be on their September cover. Talked about speaking out more and the US Open among various things so if you feel like reading you should check it out.

Where we are at with remote learning: well-off families planning pods, low-income families having child-neglect cases opened against them for kids' failure to log on for virtual classes. https://t.co/vfnQbctRpv

Another reason I love this part of my work-life. My @soljourno team meetings are mostly this:

[Matthew Kauffman @MatthewKauffman]

.@jayrosen_nyu is spot-on. But there should be no smirking among hard-boiled journalists for the brand of reporting promoted by the Solutions Journalism Network.

[Child Mind Institute @childmindinst]

The story of “Grace,” a Black teenager w/ ADHD incarcerated for not doing court-mandated schoolwork, is deeply troubling. Join us for a frank, thoughtful conversation w/ @childmindinst clinicians on learning disorders, race & the damaging effects of the school-to-prison pipeline.

[Julia Power Burns @JuliaPowerBurns]

@jstarhenry I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

[Solutions Journalism Network @soljourno]

You know how some newsletters hit your inbox and the subject line is just like, "Hundreds of dead animals" because they think outrage will make you open them but you're just sad?

Yeah ours are the opposite of that: https://t.co/ddFq1Vxfjb

[Child Mind Institute @childmindinst]

Kids start out very mindful, but we sort of beat it out of them as they get older and go to school. To help a child who is anxious we use fun and quick ways to bring them back into the present.
