DEMOCRACY NOW

US-lean but lots of international stuff. you mention BBC so i’m assuming you’re a brit but if you’re american or okay with a US-lean in your media - here’s leftist and independent or worker-owned news. they all do political reporting some just have a general lean in content. all have social media accounts/email newsletters and i’m guessing most have rss if youre into that general lefty: In These Times, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Real News Network, The New Republic, Truthout social movement + labor focus: Unicorn Riot, Jacobin, BreakThrough News, More Perfect Union tech or science focus: The Intercept, 404 Media, The Verge, Inside Climate News, Sequencer Mag identity focus / perspective (ie feminist, lgbtq, bipoc): Prism Reports, The Advocate, The Flytrap, Capital B, 19th News, Jewish Currents, ReWire, Assigned Media, Prison Journalism Project, The New Arab culture focus (music/film/tv/lit/sports): Hearing Things, Book Riot, Pop Heist, Defector, Aftermath, Edge of Sports read with a grain of salt but i like a lot of local outlets too

Still figuring it out but here's a good start

i'm also trying to figure it out. I use a site called allsides. i like it because it compiles the same news but tells you which side the news outlet tends to lean. it's really interesting to see how the same exact news topic can be reported so differently. i linked it to this reply :)

independent journalists

independent journalists are great, usually via substack or bluesky - a few i follow include: Talia Jane, Dr. Lucky Tran, Ken Klippenstein, Marisa Kabas, Spencer Ackerman, Kat Tenbarge, Kim Kelly, Law Dork. just be sure to read more than one source (though that is standard advice for reading any news lol). i also admittedly (as a leftist!) mostly read/listen to things that i think are perceived as left-friendly - Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, and Hellgate for news; outlets like In These Times, The Flytrap, ProPublica, Intercept, Verge, Rolling Stones and Teen Vogue etc. for analyses and exclusives mainstream outlets like the AP can be O.K., i read them usually for developing/live situations as they tend to be kept really up to date more than smaller outlets, but i also take MSM with a grain of salt because they recently all had terrible language and bias against Palestinians the last two years (article) and trans people too & always avoid the new york times as much as possible! archive.ph is your friend

life

I was cleaning my sink today and noticed the tiniest seedling sprouting inside. i'm so confused at the dynamics of this and it blows my mind how life finds its way even in the darkest and murkiest environments

pistachio flavoured stuff!

massivelyyyy underrated. got myself a pistachio latte today at my local cafe cause it was their drink of the season, and oh my lord, i could have had 10 of them. beautiful. a local gelato place also does the most subtle pistachio gelato which cures my deep void every time i have it (also a pistachio emoji should exist already)
