    Online activism: If you don't post about it, do you even care about it?

    Whether you simply repost a petition link, or your entire social media presence is dedicated to spreading awareness about an issue - we have all probably engaged in a form of online activism at some point. But how much of an impact do we really have in shaping the outcomes of social justice movements, or even global conflict? In this episode, we discuss the positive and harmful power that online activism has, and ask ourselves, should we be doing more?

    So woke you can't sleep: What it means to be chronically online

    "Avoiding alcohol while pregnant is ableist" "You need permission to bring your token white friend along". To some, these are genuine beliefs. For others, it's what we call 'chronically online'.  It's a term the internet has taken on to describe opinions that are so far removed from reality, to the point that they aren't even really real issues.  In this episode, we'll dive into some hot takes accused of being chronically online. We'll also look at how this isn't the first time supposedly illegitimate concerns have made even the woke feel uncomfortable. Have something to add? Do tell! https://www.instagram.com/itsthatdeep_pod/  https://www.tiktok.com/@itsthatdeep_pod/
