This blog post makes the important point that we should keep speaking even when things get difficult. "Curating outward silence does a certain kind of teaching and learning work, and sadly it is work that the big S systems want more of... the systems have a way of taking advantage of that curated hush zone vacuum to fill it with distraction and falsehoods." It almost doesn't matter what you talk about. It doesn't have to be the big issues or topics of the day. What matters is that we keep on talking to each other, just to remind ourselves that we exist, and that the interactions matter more than the message. (Take-home exercise: is this the same as, or different from, 'belonging'?)
