I feel, as part of my initiation into this space, I must talk about my love of #Medieval elephants.

Yes, you heard me. You see, though bestiaries were very common in Western Europe, elephants were not.

So things like this happen.

"SO... lion body... got it, cloven hooves, okay, big ears and dead bird eyes... long snake face... PERFECTION."

Very into "critical ignoring" as a technique for maintaining sanity and clarity online.
1. Self-nudging: removing distractions
2. Lateral reading: vetting information by leaving the online source and verifying it elsewhere
3. Do-not-feed-the-trolls: don't reward malicious actors with attention.
