Feeling overwhelmed by the constant chaos in the world? It's all part of a strategy to discourage dissent. But don't lose hope! Embrace hope as a powerful form of resistance. Let these inspiring stories be your armor against the turmoil.

I really needed a sign today that what I do as a historian matters. I did not expect to literally see a sign. On the sidewalk. And in the window. Hooray for local bookstores! Water Street Bookstore totally made my day! 🗃️

When critical thinking isn’t enough: to beat information overload, we need to learn ‘critical ignoring’ Lateral reading, self-nudging and a persistent refusal to feed the trolls are some of the ways one can better manage information.

…. My students and I also read this article about “critical ignoring” as in addition to strategies like lateral reading, the authors recommend “self-nudging” in making our own choices in consuming online information theconversation.com/when-critica.... 2/2

The @nsslasocstudies.bsky.social fall journal is out and available! This free resource has some amazing articles and research that #socialstudies educators will not want to miss! Find it at: socialstudiesleaders.org #sschat #edusky #edchat
