I grew up in Belgium, and have family and childhood friends there. I was pleasantly surprised when I got random notifications from Facebook this morning as people I am friends with added themselves to the safety check list - it made it easy for me to quickly know who was OK.
- mikeyouse 11y agoI had the same thought/feeling after the latest Ankara bombing. I didn't even realize a fairly close friend was in Turkey until I got a notification that they were okay. I think it's underappreciated how much smaller the world feels when you see something on the news and nearly immediately know someone affected. It's my hope that this breeds empathy.
