Raise your hands if you’d like a kinder, gentler internet? ♂️
- Our words have meaning. Showing empathy, even when we disagree, helps build bridges.
- Calling out, or drawing public attention to harmful actions, can be necessary. Think, celebrities spewing misinformation. But when it comes to friends and family, try calling in. Having tough conversations one-on-one can lead to more empathetic and less heated discussions.
