a jewish and muslim high school student wrote me about how they saw teens consume news on israel and palestine. born into social media, they recognize how it’s a tool for activism, but also erases nuance and causes more hate

they write #InTheirOwnVoices
thestar.com/opinion/contri…
they break down social media algorithms and how teens consume news via flashy infographic IG posts; but that the sources are sometimes inaccurate. also, the more you engage with certain topics the more it feeds you things you want to see thestar.com/opinion/contri…
to all parents/older people, these high school students shed light on how teens consume news. it’s not to say that social media is bad — “it’s a good starting point for research,” but that more work should be done to think critically thestar.com/opinion/contri…

in may, top doctors and experts have faced hacks and impersonations on social media. it’s caused personal safety issues as they receive hate and even death threats. i spoke to @jkwan_md, @BogochIsaac, @SharkawyMD + @deonandan on navigating the toxicity

thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
recently, @SharkawyMD’s facebook was hacked. spam messages were sent to his contacts. thankfully he regained access but the hate that comes in forms of voice mails — one that wished his whole family died of cancer — make him question his personal safety thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
recently @jkwan_md — who shares daily COVID-19 graphs and info — was impersonated by a twitter account that used her photos. she quickly reported the issue (having to show government ID) and had it fixed. but bots and trolls are still all too common thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

i have no words really
a horrible third wave, friends behind hwy 413, no accessible paid sick days, voting down a bill for 10 paid sick days, bill 124 capping salary for nurses, huge ICU numbers, blackberry 2014, that “stay home” language video that butchered pronunciation, vaccine hunger games
mining claims increasing in grassy narrows territory where suspected mercury dumps haven’t be excavated, attempts to close the border, attempts to turn away foreign students, ministers on vacation, ignoring the science table

so many people thought that the 18+ hot spot announcement from the beginning of april would be something that would be available by end of week / the next week. almost a month later, it’s here and perhaps if that premature announcement wasn’t made it wouldn’t feel so chaotic
like gen z / millennials were basically born into the internet — that isn’t “soon” on their timelines lol
tbh quoting from people via DMs on IG, the premature 18+ ontario announcement has been one of the main things that brought younger people (who didn’t feel governments were accessible) up to speed with how slow and “performative” government processes are

literally no one asked for this and yet we’re still gonna scapegoat foreign students and people who could help build us up (and back) with their knowledge. racist backwards policies
so ministers can go to st. barts or any tropical paradise with the province’s prior knowledge to tan and drink meanwhile an attempt to ban students from getting an education here in canada
im really proud that at the star we have international student reporters like @akrit_michael and @RhythmSachdeva. they've only broadened our perspectives in storytelling. this is a terrible ask and whom is it for if the experts aren't saying this is needed
