pickThis is a really important book that all parents and educators should read. It shows how the epidemic of mental illness stems directly from our shift from ‘play based‘ to ‘phone based‘ childhoods. The data and evidence in this book is truly mind blowing. I had not heard the term ‘sociogenic illnesses‘ before but it makes total sense to me and something I‘ve long suspected is happening. It‘s not all doom and gloom. There are solutions. Read it!

pickThis book deserves all the attention it is getting. Every parent, every educator, and any person who has an adolescent in their life needs to read this book. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently with my children and technology, especially my youngest.

An excellent listen that, imo is extremely relevant in current times.
A new episode of The Checkout Stack featuring @monalyisha and Megan Tully from the Ames Free Library in MA just dropped this morning. Tune in for a great set of book recommendations and a bonus cozy TV show which I enjoyed while recovering from a cold.

Not reading this whole book and I totally disagree with the author‘s “peer contagion” nonsense regarding trans identities… but I have to say this graph is striking. So even though I think Haidt is wrong on other things, maybe we should all go out and spend more time with friends?
pickThis was an interesting book! It describes the history & impact of refrigeration in the world. I‘ve never considered how so much of my food has to be refrigerated at some point in its lifecycle! She touches on the energy use & environmental impact of the “cold chain” in the world as well, and compares refrigeration in the US to other countries like China & Rwanda. This is a great book if you have a general interest in history, culture, & science!
pickI've been meaning to read this for a while now. I'm glad I did as it is certainly an eye opener. I do agree with the majority of Lanier's points. He certainly makes valid points on how much we have freely given away to social media conglomerates and what they're doing with that information.
My only niggle was the use of acronyms.

I haven‘t read Ronan Farrow‘s reporting on Pegasus, but this 61 minute documentary on HBO Max gives a great overview.
Tagged the book that‘s lauded as the best owner‘s manual on going off the digital grid. We‘ve got the book and someday I‘ll read it. Just doesn‘t seem like there‘s much you can do to minimize intrusions unless you‘re truly willing to give up connected tech. I‘m not there, yet.
