When does "a lot of time online" become too much? 🚩

When online spaces replace real-world connection, pay attention.

For boys who feel disconnected, the #manosphere can feel like an answer. That's what makes it worth understanding.

"Most social media platforms, in their current design, prioritise engagement metrics over meaningful relationships."

Not untrue. #SocialMediaBan

“I am optimistic that humans will start realising that content without intent is not art.”

@TimMinchin tells @GeoffNorcott he’s confident AI overload will trigger an urgent “crave” for art created by humans, and why ‘content’ is a “gross” word.

The thing is there are no rules.

And you determine what it means for your community.

What kind of man do you want to be?

There are a lot of ‘rules’ out there telling men how to be. You have to be tough, you have to be in control, you can’t show fear or sadness.

What would happen if those rules didn’t exist?

[Kellie Barnes @kellos]

What would that mean for your partner, family, mates & community?

What would it mean for you?
