Gen Z Tufting Enthusiasts & Micro Dining Founders for Indian Express

Hi everyone, As the year comes to an end, I'm here looking for inputs for my last 2 stories: 1. A piece on Gen Z's latest obsession with DIY rugs and carpets. I'm looking to connect with Gen Z who have taken up tufting, along with brands that offer rugs and DIY workshops to understand the appeal behind this hobby. 2. Why Gen Z is obsessed with micro dining - with limited seating options, booked waitlists and long queues outside, are these small eateries sustaining themselves just on social media hype? I'm looking to speak with founders of such restaurants as well as people who have visited/wish to visit micro eateriesfor the piece. If you or your client/s would like to participate in either story, please reach out in the comments or DMs. Both stories are for The Indian Express digital. #journorequest #lifestyle #dining #Genz #microdining #DIY #carpets #tufting

Gen Z Digital Friendship Sources for The Indian Express

I’m working on an upcoming piece for The Indian Express on the rise of digital friendships among Gen Z, and I’m looking to speak with people who are directly shaping, studying, or living this shift. From Discord servers and Reddit communities to social media group chats that feel safer than real-life rooms, many young people today say their strongest, most emotionally fulfilling friendships exist online. This story will explore why the role of anonymity, shared interests, identity curation, social anxiety, burnout, hybrid work, and the growing hunger for genuine connection in a hyper-connected world. I’d love to hear from: 1. Psychologists / mental health professionals – Studying Gen Z, loneliness, social anxiety, digital intimacy, or friendship dynamics – Observing how online bonds are affecting emotional wellbeing and communication styles 2. Tech developers, platform designers, or digital community builders – Working on platforms like Discord, Reddit, forums, or social ecosystems – Thinking deeply about how design influences connection, safety, and belonging 3. Gen Z – If some of your closest friendships exist online – If digital spaces feel safer, more honest, or more “you” than offline ones – Or if you’re navigating both worlds and feeling the tension between them If this resonates, I’d love to speak with you for this piece. #journorequest

UK HE Staff with Disabilities or Neurodivergence for Podcast Interviews

🚨 New disability resource and opportunity for UK HE professionals (HEnabled) 🚨 Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities everyone! Yesterday, I had the pleasure to sit down with Fiona Bicket for an introductory virtual coffee. It was a deeply insightful discussion which covered everything from our roles in higher education, to the challenges facing the sector as a whole and what we can do about them.I have learned so much about what Fiona does as a coach and mentor to HE professional services staff, specifically those in managerial positions and prospective managers. Please check out her profile if you are interested in finding out more! As part of this chat, Fiona has been kind enough give me the opportunity to share HEnabled with her network. Here's what you need to know: HEnabled showcases the lived experience of disabled and neurodivergent people, as well as those with long-term health conditions in the UK Higher Education system. There is a new episode every Sunday, with a different guest each week talking about their experiences as a disabled person in the sector. The show has been running for over a year and has 30 episodes to date. To the best of my knowledge, HEnabled is the first independent podcast to share the lived experiences of disabled people in UK higher education, regardless of their university or the nature of their condition(s). This makes it an incredible resource for HE providers, policymakers, and disabled students themselves. We can hear what needs to be improved in the HE sector directly from the people in it, while providing them a platform to show others that they are not alone. While the vast majority of my interviewees to date have been university students, I am looking to interview anyone involved in HE as professional services staff, support staff, academics, researchers, etc. If you are part of UK higher education I want to hear from you. If you are also able to share this show around your own networks, I would be deeply appreciative. HEnabled is not currently income generating but it takes a lot of energy to produce–the more eyes that I can get on it, the sooner that I hope to change that. If you want to find out more you can listen to the show on Spotify here: https://lnkd.in/dfzc383R Links to other streaming platforms and social media channels can be found via the Linktree link here: https://linktr.ee/henabled I hope that you find the show enjoyable and would love to hear from you via Linkedin or email ([email redacted]) if you would be interested in coming on the show. Thanks for taking the time to read this :) ID: The HEnabled logo. It has the text 'HEnabled.' in white text on a teal background.

Sources & Evidence on UCP Influence in Alberta Municipal Elections

Info Wanted! The UCP may have interfered in multiple municipal elections Note: This is a brand new account as my usual account is connected to social media that could connect directly back to myself. Though I plan to put my name to my comments and findings in the end, currently I am trying to avoid burning some contacts before I gather as much information as possible. The mods are aware. Hello everyone. I recently ran in my local municipal election and while speaking to another candidate I was informed of something that I feel is worth looking into. Allegedly, a mayoral candidate in my town was given the member contact list from my local UCP constituency association. He proceeded to send out a mass email to all the UCP supporters in my town with a list of who to vote for, as well as who not to vote for. Though this seems to be legal it does not sit right with me having a provincial political party putting a thumb on the scale in municipal elections. This may also be a large breech of privacy for those on these contact lists depending on how things are worded at sign up. After reaching out to some of my contacts I was informed that this is not isolated to my town but to other municipalities as well. It sounds like it has always been done by the constituency associations to keep the MLA's hands clean. With all of this, I have reached out to my local news paper and a reporter is working on a story on the subject but he needs some solid proof or people willing to speak on the record from other municipalities to show that this is a wider issue. Unfortunately my contacts are currently unable to go on the record. A call to arms! If you have heard of emails like this in your municipal election, please see if you can get a copy of it and forward it my way. If you have had a similar experience as myself, or if you have evidence of your local UCP constituency association doing similar acts regarding your municipal election please contact me! If I can get some proof together my local paper intends to run a story on the subject, and the journalist that I am in contact with has had articles get picked up by larger outlets. He is happy to keep things on background if you do not want your name out there, but he needs to verify information given. Once we have compiled enough information and he has his story ready to go I plan to reach out to other local news sources and do my best to get this out there.

Zeitgeist Experts for Documentary on Cultural Trends - Gold Coast/Brisbane

Seeking interviewee for documentary exploring the meaning of ‘Zeitgeist’ and how it’s evolved through recent decades Hey everyone, I’m currently working on a short documentary that explores the idea of “Zeitgeist” — the spirit or cultural mood that defines a particular moment in time. I’m looking to interview someone who can speak about what that term really means — how it’s shown through the ideas, art, music, and attitudes people share — and how it’s evolved across different eras. In particular, I’d love to chat about: What “zeitgeist” actually represents in a cultural sense How certain movements or trends (music genres, social media, aesthetics, etc.) have captured the “mood” of their time Examples from recent decades — e.g. how things like deep house music, influencer culture, or even online identity might represent today’s zeitgeist I’m open to anyone with insight or experience in this area — academics, cultural theorists, journalists, artists, sociologists, or anyone with a strong grasp on contemporary culture. The interview would be recorded for the documentary, filmed locally (Gold Coast/Brisbane area) or remotely via video call if preferred. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in — or if you know someone who’d be a great fit — please reach out or comment.

I am looking for experts who can provide insightful, on-the-record commentary on the following topics: - The impact of celebrity voices in shaping public discourse on trans rights. - How online debates amplify or polarize sensitive social issues. - The intersection of entertainment, activism, and social change. - Broader implications for LGBTQ+ advocacy and representation in media. If you are interested in participating, please send me a direct message or email me at [email redacted] to be added to the roster.

Privacy Law Experts on ICE Social Media Surveillance-NY Times

Earlier this year, The Intercept revealed that ICE had floated plans for a system that could automatically scan social media for “negative sentiment” toward the agency and flag users thought to show a “proclivity for violence.” Procurement records previously reviewed by 404 Media identified software used by the agency to build dossiers on flagged individuals, compiling personal details, family links, and even using facial recognition to connect images across the web. Observers warned it was unclear how such technology could distinguish genuine threats from political speech. 404 Media filed a freedom of information lawsuit demanding ICE release the contract and related records, citing widespread concern that the tool could be used to target immigrants, journalists, and activists. The Electronic Privacy Information Center has similarly sued ICE, calling its reliance on data brokers a “significant threat to privacy and liberty.” The American Civil Liberties Union has argued that buying bulk datasets—such as smartphone location trails gathered from ordinary apps—helps ICE sidestep warrant requirements and helps it pull in vast amounts of data with no clear link to its enforcement mandate.
