America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting. My latest for The Guardian. ⬇️

Until about 10 days ago, my Instagram search page was full of photos and reels of dogs. Now when I open it, it’s full of reels of people beating each other up or of aggressive confrontations between people on airplanes, in their cars etc. It’s all designed to make you afraid of the world at large.

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

I'm sorry, but don't use TikTok if it comes back. This is propaganda so severe and in your face that it should not be tolerated in the slightest. I know how much people like the app. But like Vine and Twitter, alternatives will come.

Yahoo Groups died, we kept going. MySpace died, we kept going. ICQ died(kinda), we kept going. 2channel died, we kept going. Google+ died, we kept going. Vine died, we kept going. Houseparty died, we kept going. Habbo died, we kept going. We can live without TikTok. Move on.

Seeing a number of sincere "Hey maybe they'll bring back Vine!" posts, and...did y'all forget? Vine was owned by Twitter when it shut down and is among the assets included when he bought it. You want that guy having so direct a link to the dopamine button in your brain?

I’m so serious about this. Do not increase your time on meta platforms. In fact, over the next 48 hours, give your attention to somewhere else. Don’t reward Zuckerberg for this. 1/

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

i’ve honestly been dissociating through most of what’s going on. i felt guilty about the dissociation, but i’m trying to give myself compassion. i finally had a good cry and realized that i’m checked out because i’m just heartbroken over what society is looking like right now. i just feel disheveled

Seeing folks talking about mailing used clothing to Los Angeles. Please do not do this unless you are responding to a specific request from a reputable relief organization.* Otherwise, you contribute to a second disaster. You'll do more good by donating the money you would have spent on shipping.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Watching footage of Los Angeles on fire while charging a battery pack and buying bottled water in case the power grid fails in Texas again this weekend due to the cold. What the fuck are we doing?
