My Twitter break was extremely good for my mental and physical health, mostly because I wasn't staring at a constant stream of pain all day. So, something has to change. (Cont'd)

One of they key benefits of Twitter to me is exposure to marginalized voices I don't come across any other way. For every mainstream article playing "both sides," my Twitter feed educates me on the real history and story underneath.

I *love* this and I don't want to shy away from it. But I want to consume it on my schedule, not Twitter's.

So, I'm looking for news sites/sources curated by marginalized people. I want these stories, but at the time of my choosing.

If I could get my Twitter news in digest form, I would. Every day at 5pm is "horror hour" and I get all my news and rage at the time of my choosing etc etc

But I don't know of anything like that. And I don't want to exchange my Twitter feed for a mainstream news subscription. Too much is erased.

Does anyone have any suggestions here? A source of news that will expose me to stories on Indigenous history or the prison strikes or Black women being so woefully underserved by our medical system. Something I can consume on my schedule and not in a feed format.

I hate to say it but what about a well curated Reddit? I get a lot of indigenous news from r/indiancountry and I feel like you can section yourself off from shitty communities

I wish we still had message boards sometimes but Reddit took the place of all that
