STARVE: Starve the Outrage, REACH the Truth (Free Download)

Outrage is fuel. Every angry reply, quote-tweet, and "look how wrong this is" share tells the algorithm to spread a bad claim further, so arguing with misinformation often feeds the exact thing you're trying to fight.

The STARVE card is a simple, printable reminder of what to do instead. Six moves, one page, stick it on your desk or save it to your phone:

S, Stop before you react.
T, Think about who benefits if you spread it.
A, Avoid amplification (no quote-share, no dunk).
R, Report or mute.
V, Verify privately.
E, Elevate the truth instead.

That last step is its companion, the REACH card: don't just starve the bad, amplify the good. Good science doesn't go viral on its own.

It's grounded in research on how outrage and moral-emotional content spread online and how engagement reinforces them. Free to download, print at home, and share.
