I pay attention to a lot of things these days, I may not give it power but like you said, some people say, “ Ignore that” as if they are better for so called ignoring it.
I know what’s happening in reality and social media and will speak on it so we can keep our “ eyes” open.
I have a family member that whenever I mention an actual important topic from social media, she’ll be like “ Oh I don’t do pop culture stuff “ or “ I listen to other things”
Folks don’t realize that before social media I talked about books ONLY.
Sorry to go on like that, I’m enjoying your article.
