The term "attention economy" fails to capture the EXISTENTIAL issues at the heart of modern life.
Your attention is what you spend your time doing. And what you spend your time doing is YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
We have a FINITE NUMBER OF HEARTBEATS. Don't give them to MegaCorps!!

Whats worse... even with all of this, it's nowhere near as good as it could have been if I had access to care when I was young.
I knew who I was back then. So many of us do.
They deserve the chance I never got to have.
The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.

If this outrages you and you want to know what you can do right now to mitigate the harm that ICE is attempting to inflict on communities, here is one starting place:

This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal
No DOUBT in my mind this is the same crowd spurring the rise in antivax sentiment
The cognitive dissonance is off the charts

This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell, 1971, second printing. A large paperback book with a black cover, a white title and the author's name in red. Apparently, these days it's quite safe to allow readers to see it as most of the recipes for explosives etc are out of date. It does also have a list of drugs, which is how I know that if you eat enough banana skins, you'll hallucinate, but I'd think that was pretty likely anyway.
On my desk today: a piece of 1970s counter culture.
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Me: I love books. I will never stop buying them. I will die buried beneath them like a cairn.
Me while packing: whose shitass idea was this?
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

I know itβs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canβt Do The Work when youβre starving.
The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.
