Tech is a double-edged sword. It can help us feel connected but keeps us doom scrolling well past our bedtimes and spreading disinformation like wildfire. But does it have to be this way? Ramesh Srinivasan doesn't think so.

When we feel lonely, a simple call from someone who cares can truly help. For artists, Kristy Edmunds is that kindred spirit. For her, kindness can manifest in the care artists put into performances or the help we can give by comissioning work.
Chon Noriega | Harry Gamboa Jr.
Chon Noriega, curator and professor, has some very good how-tos on improving the art world and beyond, including how to: use faith to improve historical preservation, increase representation in museums, approach housing and value frontline workers.
