STOP POSTING YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE
As a digital native, I feel that I’m qualified to talk about this. Yes, I’ve been on social media since I was 12 but I was also born into the age of the internet. I was taught online safety since I was 9 AT SCHOOL. I had a Wattpad account that not only didn’t have my face, it also didn’t have my name. I had the unfortunate experience of having an online friend find out my high school based on my full name alone. Ever since then, I NEVER share my full name online, not unless I absolutely have to (for a professional account). Despite this, I was still targeted by predators who, thankfully, never found me because even as a child, I understood basic internet safety. I didn’t have a facebook or instagram account until I was 16 and even then, I had my accounts set on the highest privacy settings (to the point that I hated it when my profile was accessible through the accounts of friends who had public profiles). I don’t think I even shared my face on a public profile until I was 18. And now, I don’t share my first, middle or legal surname. This is not me simply being paranoid. This is me learning from people who were unlucky enough to be preyed on.
So tell me why grown adults are forgetting basic safety? Some parents and grandparents will literally have public profiles where they will post children, their full legal name, their daily schedule and even where they go to school. This is the stupidest thing you can do as a parent and you should be charged with neglect. Even baby me, cautious as I was was preyed upon by predators. I probably would’ve been taken advantage of if I hadn’t been so paranoid. Plenty of teenage girls have been through hell for forgetting basic safety. If you love your children, DO NOT POST THEM ON PUBLIC PROFILES. If you knew what was good for you, you wouldn’t even post them on any social media account. You have no idea what kind of dark twisted thing a predator could be doing with those images and videos.
If your child does any extra curricular activity or is academically gifted, they may get mentioned on their school’s website. Their photos may even be posted. And if your child’s name is unique enough, all it takes is for someone to search your child’s full name and the city they live in to be directed to their school’s website. Do you know how easy it would be for a predator to wait outside your child’s school? This is not paranoia or far-fetched, my teachers had to be trained for this exact situation. And it’s because children have been permanently lost due to carelessness.
Your desire to show off your children take a backseat when it comes to protecting them. The world is a dangerous place. The internet is not your safe haven. It’s scary even for grown adults like me. Be safe and teach your children to be safe.

The average American touches their phone 2,617 per day and unlocks it 150 times. TikTok popularized short-form video, bite-sized pieces of content that we flip through endlessly; if a video fails to capture our attention in the first few seconds, we swipe to the next. Many young people can’t sit through an hour-long TV show without being on their phones. As the joke goes, “I’m going to take a break from working on my medium-sized screen to go watch my big screen while I scroll my tiny screen.”

trying to find some good sources for a research paper I have to do for school, and this one study uses the term "digital natives" for people who have grown up with the internet and social media. like, they don't know a world before tech was so inherent(?) to existing. the study's specific definition of digital natives is "individuals raised with pervasive technology"
i'm acting like i'm not one of those people, lol. like i'm seperating myself from those who are digital natives. I'm freaking gen z, of course I count as a digital native. maybe didn't start using a home desktop as soon as other ppl my age, but still.

Engaging youth in digital transformation
Above: Mariam Chaduneli. BitDepth#1393 for February 13, 2023 On Wednesday, the Portulans Institute hosted a webinar on Youth and Digital Transformation that tapped into their recent 2022 Network Readiness Index publication. The subject struck a resonant chord with me. I teach a class to university level students that often reveals a surprising lack of understanding of open internet protocols…

Writing Accessibility PSA
Please avoid using long strings of characters as line breaks in your writing - these are not screen reader/TTS friendly!
Every ‘°’ will be read as ‘degree’ - can you imagine how long it takes to read out a string of 25? Let alone more complicated combinations of characters (eg. imagine listening to TTS read out ~*~ |°| ~*~ multiple times per line break)?
A good rule of thumb is to stick with short, 2-3 character line breaks (eg. I don’t find — or *** too egregious to listen to). Your readers can tell there’s been a scene change whether you use two or twenty em-dashes, but if you use twenty, some of us might have to listen for 30 seconds to read the next scene. If you’re more concerned about aesthetics, you can insert an image of your aesthetically pleasing line break with alt text simply reading ‘line break’ for accessibility.
Don’t feel bad if this is something you’ve never thought about before - now you know better and can make your writing more accessible moving forward!
I would like to invite any other screenreader users to add their own thoughts or preferences to this post. We’re not a monolith and there’s a variety to how different softwares interact with repeating character strings and images with alt text, so there’s bound to be some conflicting opinions on what I’ve suggested above. Let’s try to make the stories we share accessible for everyone :]
