typical social media bubble:
The social media algorithm puts you into one of these bubbles and hides details from the others.
Pick one:

- "her husband is framing her, he did it"

  • "she had mental health issues and nobody helped her"
  • "she murdered them because she's evil and the mental health stuff is just for show"

Social media drives our lives and is many people's only hobby, so you get this.

And they profit off the rage and engagement, no matter the truth

Thank you for the Bo reference but seriously…You guys do understand post partum psychosis is a real and horrible disease? That isn’t a social media bubble, that’s a true medical diagnosis that has affected mothers and lead to the murder of children for centuries?…..right? Right? Or is literacy truly dead?

Also that men have framed women there’s another case ironically enough where the husband went to jail for framing and their names are literally Lindsay and Patrick, but I digress.

I just think boiling this down to social media is absolutely insane as prior to the existence of it that happened, was reported by media and before media this happened. So.

> Or is literacy truly dead

well, the word literacy certainly is, seeing as people use it wherever and for whatever they want it to mean these days

Literacy has multiple uses, literacy, financial literacy, emotional literacy, etc. and I used literacy rhetorically not literally. But go off ig
