A thing social media has taught me in 2024:
If I see any kind of profile or story or capsule bio of a Palestinian or Gazan person, I've learned not to read it because the punchline is always "They're dead now."
My basic self-protective defense mechanisms have taught me many simple rules over the years for not getting overwhelmed by outrage porn on social media, and this new pattern has now been deeply programmed into that set of cognitive functions.
-- A reflection on my own cognition.
