I can’t stop thinking about the extremely misleading post that was circulating last week about the train derailment in Ohio and the amount of people who believed it whole cloth and went into a panic (understandably — the post was terrifying if you hadn’t heard about the crash previously). I’m not trying to shit on OP who has dealt with enough and apologized/admitted that the post was misleading or the people who got scared, I’m just disturbed by the amount of people (some of whom lived in Ohio!!) unaware of something that had been in the news for a week+ at that point.
And I want to be clear, I’m not blaming anyone for not having the spoons to engage in the 24-hour disaster news cycle where you’re bombarded with bad news every second of every day. I can’t do that either. But people, you have to stop getting your news from Twitter and tumblr. You just do. SO,
here are some low spoons ways to know wtf is going on.
*disclaimer* none of these sources are perfect or without bias and I’m not claiming they are. Every news organization is influenced by who owns it, the government it exists under, etc. also, this is a very US focused list bc I am in the US. Other people please feel free to add helpful resources from your country.
NPR’s Up First podcast: this podcast is literally like 10 mins long and just runs through essential US and international headlines.
NY Times The Daily: this one is a little longer (25-ish mins) and hones in on a theme, though it does touch on other news.
Vox’s Today Explained: this podcast runs through the highlights of what happened that day in about 20 mins.
CNN/Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: read through top headlines of the day covering a variety of topics. There are links to articles if you want to know more but you get a blurb about each regardless.
NY Times Morning Newsletter: this comes to your email and is free unlike other Times content. Though there are links to articles that are behind a paywall, all you really need to get started is the headlines and blurbs in the newsletter itself and you can always start googling from there if you feel the need.
USA Today Short List: similar to the NY Times morning newsletter but this one comes in the evening. No paywall, easily digestible headlines and highlight blurbs.
I’m not saying you need to have google alerts turned on for every single news source. I’m not saying you need to camp out in front of cable news for 8 hours a day like your grandpa, or even watch it twice a day like your dad. I’m not saying you can’t learn some piece of world news from a Destiel meme every now and then.
But engaging for 10-15 mins a day with the basics of what’s going on in the world is very helpful in that at the very least it stops you from panicking about a “media blackout about the worst disaster since Chernobyl” since you will have seen it in 5 news sources already and know that it couldn’t possibly be true.

AD Destiel Tweet Cast Reactions
February 15, 2021
On February 15, Architectural Digest tweeted saying “Sad over Destiel? Self medicate with Jensen Ackles's real-world Austin home,” followed by a link to an article entitled “CW Star Jensen Ackles Invites AD Inside His Family Home in Austin.” This article was originally published on November 27, 2018, and wrote by Kathryn Romeyn. This tweet prompted many reactions from fans and former SPN cast alike. (Original tweet)
Misha Collins (Castiel) liked the tweet. (Misha Collins’ likes)
Twitter user @DClovedestiels replied to the tweet with “I know I'm being clickbaited. Well played, AD. I now want a kitchen I will never be able to afford. But having reputable businesses/people say "destiel" makes me feel validated, so we'll call it an even trade,” to which Daneel Ackles (Sister Jo) replied, “😂😂😂😂” (Link)
The Stands account later replied with “Bold move, Architectural Digest.” (Link)
Ruth Connell (Rowena MacLeod) responded to Strands with “😂” (Link) and Felicia Day (Charlie Bradbury) responded with “Droooooool” (Link)
@DClovesdestiels also replied “Yeah, we Destiel supporters are so beyond used to being used as a fandom as clickbait,” to which strands responded “Destiel all over the place. My god the Destiel. Did I mention Destiel. http://ShopStands.com.” (Link)
Later Stands made another tweet, the caption of which read: “You won't believe these Destiel facts! Number thirteen might surprise you. http://ShopStands.com #ad”

My ace!destiel piece lives! Be kind; this is very close to my heart. @captainraye @supremetranstaco @socially-ineptnerd
Motes rode lazily through the muddy orange light of the library where Castiel and Sam sat. The still air of the bunker always carried the betraying chill of being underground, yet there was a cozy warmth Castiel found in both his present company and the coffee in front of him. The pair had been researching witches circa the 17th century when they had stumbled upon a set of histories they hadn’t previously noticed. Under the guise of inventory keeping, Sam had suggested they scan them for future relevant information.
Yet the tomes seemed to mostly be Men of Letters’ journals. Castiel supposed they had relevance in terms of understanding how hunting had progressed. However, he knew both he and Sam were mostly just enjoying themselves at this point. The heavy furrow that usually dominated Sam’s face when they were researching had dissipated, and he had leaned back in the chair with one of the leather-bond volumes spilled over his lap.
Castiel also found himself submerged in the quaint telling of the long-gone scholars’ tales. The books moved fluidly from lore exposition to snapshots of daily life, and Castiel wondered if Sam felt a kinship with these men whose lives were shaped so similarly to his own.
Castiel paused as he reached a passage concerning two Men of Letters’ factions meeting after a long and suspicious exchange of information via mail. A thought struck him, and he briefly considering asking Sam before ultimately deciding against it.
He slapped the book shut, the small crash echoing obnoxiously in the near silence. The younger Winchester looked up at him in surprise. “I’ll be back momentarily,” Cas explained without actually explaining himself at all. This seemed to satisfy Sam however, who said nothing, simply sipped his forgotten coffee and returned to reading. Castiel slid his chair back gracefully, careful not to repeat his mistake with the book by scraping the ancient chair over the solid floorboards.
As he trailed through the bunker’s halls towards Dean’s room, he realized it had to be close to three in the morning. It didn’t matter though; he knew Dean would be happy to answer his question regardless. Luck seemed to be in Castiel’s favor this evening as Dean had left his door cracked. The hunter seemed to be growing less cautious recently. Whether it was due to him finally feeling at home in the space or due to Castiel’s agreement to make this his permanent residence, Cas didn’t know.
What Castiel did know was he was incredibly grateful to see Dean maturing in this way. The relief in both brother’s demeanor was palpable; they joked more freely and looked over their shoulders less. Sam especially seemed to look physically younger as the weight of the last few years he’d spent fearing for Dean lifted gradually from his mind. In fact, things had been so quiet in the Winchester’s lives, Castiel wondered if this was as close to peace as the brothers had ever been.
Castiel smiled softly at the thought before soundlessly pushing open Dean’s door. He didn’t want to alarm his friend so he quietly breathed out his name before shaking Dean’s shoulder gently. When Castiel felt him start to stir, he repeated it louder, “Dean.” This time Dean rolled over and blinked groggily at the angel.
“Cas?” He sat up and flipped on the bedside lamp. “What’s up, buddy? Something wrong?” he asked, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand.
“No, nothing’s wrong,” he answered, smoothing the trenchcoat under him as he took a seat on the edge of the bed. “I simply had a question.”
Dean’s eyes crinkled with his responding smile, “Ok, shoot.”
Castiel took a deep breath, fidgeting as he partly realized how absurd his question was. But Dean was already awake so he may as well ask. “Why do humans continue to shake hands when it’s so clearly unsanitary?”
Dean barked out a surprised laugh. “That’s what you wanna know? Not that I’m complainin’, but why didn’t you just ask Sam? I saw the look on that nerd’s face when you guys found those journals; I know he’s still awake.”
Castiel sighed, looking away as he considered a polite way to phrase his response. “Sam-” he started after a beat, “Sam always tries to explain things in ways he thinks I will understand. However, I am more interested in– the human side of things, if you will.”
Dean chuckled again, nodding, “I get that. You want a real answer, not an encyclopedia entry.” He paused, considering for a moment. “I read somewhere that shaking hands started as a way to show someone you weren’t carrying a weapon. But I’m thinking that’s not what you’re looking for,” he said, his viridescent eyes meeting Cas’ cerulean.
Cas frowned, “No, as humans don’t generally arm themselves daily anymore nor does an open hand show the presence of concealed items. It also seems like the tradition should have died out with the plague in Europe.”
Dean raised his eyebrows in acknowledgment and leaned back against the headboard. He stared into the room as he pondered Cas’ question. He could feel the angel’s heavy gaze on him. In the past, Dean may have felt scrutinized by the continued stare. He knew he should feel stripped by Castiel looking so deeply (and possibly literally) into his soul. But he simply felt revealed. All the parts of himself he tried so desperately to keep hidden were being appraised by Cas and found to be good.
He smiled up at Cas as he finished formulating his answer, “I guess its just a non-threatening way to physically connect with someone. Humans don’t go around touching strangers, at least not if they’ve got all their marbles. Kinda a tactile way to show trust.”
Castiel nodded as he digested this information before he broke out in a gummy grin. “Like how you place your hand on my shoulder when we have not seen each other.”
Pink bloomed under Dean’s freckles, but he didn’t drop his eyes, “Yeah man, kinda like that. Just a subtle way to reach out.”
Dean knew he had satisfied Cas’ curiosity, but he made no move to shoo his friend off. Instead, he watched Castiel’s oceanic orbs glitter in the dim light, his previous smile still ghosting on his lips. Dean had come to cherish these unspoken conversations despite the trepidation he’d experienced during their first few stare-offs. The previous tension was no longer present as he gazed into Cas’ eyes. Now it was as comforting as the warmth of Cas’ body snug up against his leg. It seemed to fill the space between them with a million emotions: the tranquility they experienced in each other’s presence, the happiness they drew from a late night inquiry devoid of stigma. The weight that used to bear down on Dean now anchored him to the moment. Dean would have been content to let Cas stare at him all night had he not yawned.
The pair laughed awkwardly. “I suppose I should let you go back to sleep,” Castiel said in a near whisper.
“Guess so,” Dean relented, childish regret in his voice.
“Goodnight Dean.” Cas hesitated before reaching out to squeeze Dean’s shoulder.
Dean felt himself blush again, but it didn’t stop him from grinning, “G'nite Cas.” Castiel turned off the lamp before heading back to the library.
Sam’s eyes flicked up when he heard Castiel re-enter the room. He considered asking him how his chat had gone with Dean. Sam didn’t need Castiel to confirm that’s where he’d gone; the soft smile hanging from his lips told Sam everything he needed to know. Something perceptible had shifted in the relationship between his brother and the angel. He thought it was around the time Dean had asked Castiel to stay in the bunker officially. At first, he’d been angry at them. If they were hooking up, they had no reason to hide it from him. Cas had been gone less than 15 minutes yet his blissful look and the tell-tale way his eyes weren’t moving over the text he was pretending to be reading told Sam something intimate had occurred. In fact Sam was beginning to wonder if his definition of intimate was too stringent. Maybe what he saw was…all there was to see. Maybe the space between them hadn’t been closed by the quintessential kiss but rather by the mutual understanding that they needed each other. Sam smiled into his now-cold coffee and decided to let Castiel and his brother keep their secrets.

CORRECTION: The previous post stated that the Wagner forces had entered the city of Rostov, 100 miles northeast of Moscow. This was incorrect: the forces entered the city of Rostov-on-don, 400 miles south of Moscow.
