Stop the Bleed
One of the most useful first-aid skills to learn, according to every medical professional we talked to, is how to stop bleeding. Stop the Bleed exists to teach you how to save a live. You can take an in-person or online class to learn basic skills that are useful in a crisis.
Fix your Feed
Social media is exploding with disinformation. Every time you see something you like, interact with it. Comments are best. If you miss someone’s wall, go to it and interact—it’ll show up in your feed. When you see content you don’t want, take a moment to hide or block it. You can improve what you consume.
Out and Proud!
Coming out works for any issue that “nice people don’t talk about.” The problem is, jerks DO talk about those things, making it feel like there’s a consensus of bad opinion. Talking about your experiences changes that. Whether it’s telling your uncle that nice girls get raped, too, or telling Grandma that immigrants are cutting her lawn, not her health benefits, speak up!
