I'm talking about psychological, social, and reputational safety as much as the physical kind. [...] The other essential half of online safety, I think, is *new* media literacy - media literacy that includes critical thinking about what one says, produces and uploads as much as what one reads, consumes, and downloads in all environments, online and offline, fixed and mobile.

those things that, out of politeness, or caution,
I kept to myself.

- "Regret" byTroy Jollimore

A wonderful poem, "Regret" by Troy Jollimore in the December issue of The Walrus magazine about regretted passion-lessness, and written in double-negatives. Good for poetry class, reading wistfully alone over a glass of wine, or maybe a digital photography starting point for grade 8s.
