Recognizing fake news is now a required subject in California schools. The new law comes amid rising public distrust in the media, especially among young people. A 2022 Pew Research Center survey found that adults under age 30 are nearly as likely to believe information on social media as they are from national news outlets.

"I was 21-years-old and thought I had everything figured out. My dad had another drinking spell where he was refusing to go to treatment. By that time, I lost count of how many times he had relapsed. I planned to drive four and a half hours home from Menomonie and then transport him three hours to the Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center in St. Cloud, Minnesota. That way he could get the help he needed. This wasn’t the first time making the trip to the VA. I executed the plan on a beautiful April day. However, my dad ended up passing away during the trip to St. Cloud. My plan failed in a big way, more than I could have imagined."

According to Do No Harm, a medical and political advocacy group of medical professionals, “The United States is the most permissive country when it comes to the legal and medical gender transition of children.” France comes in at a close second, but still urges “great caution.” Even though most European countries share the United States’ broad support of transgenderism, many of them reject the gender-affirming care model for children.

"In the Middle East, there are two bodies of water into which the Jordan River flows: the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The former is a vibrant, life-giving ecosystem–birds flock to it, fish thrive in it, and plants grow in and near it. The latter is a place of death and decay where only microorganisms such as bacteria can grow. How can this be possible, when both bodies of water are fed from the same pure source?"

Issue 93 is hot off the press! ✨ Featured Article ✨ "Does Happiness Come In a Pill?" - In the 1950s, the first antidepressant drug made its debut. Since that time, the market has been flooded with pills and their promises of a healthier life. And we really, really want to say that it's working. This article shares some of what we (as a society) think we know of mind-altering medications and begs the question, does happiness really come in a pill?

“Anxiety and depression. Mental health. You probably can’t get through a day without hearing about it… or living it. It’s all around us. And for many, much closer than we’d like. Counseling has been around as a form of treatment since Freud took the stage in the late 1800s. But it wasn’t until the 1950s that the first antidepressant drug made its debut. Since that time, the market has been flooded with pills and their promises for a healthier life. Almost anyone can show up at a doctor’s office, say they’re feeling blue, and walk away with a prescription. And we really, really, want to say that it’s working.” #Happiness #Pills #Meds #Depression #Anxiety #Medication #Antidepressants #MentalHealth #Jesus

WOTS River Falls and Menomonie writers had quite the time writing haikus and limericks together. If you’ve never tried it, you’re missing out! It doesn’t have to be deep. Some (many?) of our poems involved cats... Here’s a brief how-to guide: Haiku: Generally doesn’t rhyme, three lines total, first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 syllables, third line has 5 syllables. Limericks: Generally light and funny, an AABBA rhyme scheme depicting a tale, perhaps introduces a character and tells their story. . . . #Poetry #Poems #Haiku #Limerick #WritingCommunityOfInstagram #Rhyme #Syllables #Character #Story #RiverFallsWI #MenomonieWI #UWRF #UWStout #StoutProud
