Sometimes I wanna send out a psychic beam to every tumblr user that just says "stop reblogging unsourced screenshots of tweets about current events like they're news articles because that is the absolute easiest way to spread misinformation"
reblog things when they are sourced and also LOOK AT THE SOURCES. are they credible? is there any bias? use your BRAIN. Activism is useless at best and dangerous at worst when all you have is incorrect information. And hey, if you go out and look for a source based on a screenshotted tweet and it turns out to be true? Link the fucking article so others can see it too.
#it's so disappointing seeing ppl reblog blindly from nativenews when they don't provide sources.#someone sent them an ask asking for a source once and their entire response was “twitter”#we can do better. we have to do better.#and hey. I'm guilty of this too#I'm working hard to break the habit of reblogging things that support my worldview without thought and research
