First, thanks so much to everyone subscribed to the blog, leaving thoughtful comments, and participating brilliantly in the forum.
We wanted to take a moment to help everyone understand the mission of the blog. We hope you’ve been enjoying the content — consider this a (very short) guide to getting the most out of it.
Whenever you’re reading a topical post, know we’re hoping to do the following:
-
Challenge your assumptions and conceptions on tough political issues
-
Get you to think more deeply about why you believe and feel what you do
-
Get you curious about learning more about the issue!
-
Stimulate conversation on the comment threads and forum that leads to greater learning and understanding with people that don’t necessarily agree with us
-
Give you great topics to discuss with your friends and help you start practicing considerate discourse!
Next time you read a topical post by Something to Consider, make sure you pause for a moment before closing it and moving on to your next social media post about bacon or cats.
Seriously.
Next time you see a post from us, pause and consider: how can I challenge my own beliefs about this? How will I talk about this issue with my friends differently the next time it comes up?
