What is “prosocial” tech besides the opposite of antisocial?

This blueprint lays it out pretty clearly: where antisocial tech often damages our social fabric and communities, prosocial tech aims to actively build up healthy digital ecosystems.

All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.

Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.

Time to go to bat again, folks. They're trying to ram the bill through that would allow the Dep't of Treasury to arbitrarily label a nonprofit a terrorist organization and strip it of its 501(c) status.

Can't emphasize enough that no evidence is required to do so.

A bill to give Donald Trump power to kill nonprofits is still supported by dozens of Democrats — giving the GOP plenty of breathing room.

Seeing Greta Thunberg arrested at a Palestine solidarity protest is striking, both because it draws our attention to how as she got more radical she lost her media darling status, and because it shows how we too can grow and strive for real transformation.

"Being back here makes me hot in the face
Hot blood in my pulsing veins
Heavy memories weighing on my brain
Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place
You used to be so sweet
Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street
Couldn't look away even if I wanted"
