Our mass awakening cannot be stopped. BREAK THE SPELL of the #programming and #propaganda we all endure.

Themes: #humanism, #empathy, #inequality, #disinformation, #propaganda, #algorithms, #anticapitalism, #socialjustice, #activism, #creatingchange

It’s a revolutionary act to opt out of an abusive system.

We don’t even need to bother destroying the current system – let’s just rebuild the world we want to see and make it so great that *that’s* where everyone will want to be.

If I can get a pic, I’ll post her hatchlings – but only on Quips. If you’re an artist of any type, you should be there anyway. It’s only been a few weeks, but it’s been great.

Follow here to see how I’m making use of it to (…finally!) get some growth on social.

We have a bird! And what a smart and sturdy nest she has built. Location is a little questionable because I’m around too much for her taste (making too much noise getting the bike in/out, taking out the recycling, etc). We’re getting along OK though, she’s only gotten really pissed at me once. I think she understands that I’m not going to harm her. That’s because I love her. 💛
The bigs are all compromised, we need to move to smaller alt spaces like Masto: https://patreon.com/boezi/posts/new-platforms-160828413

It’s estimated that over 65,000 AI-generated songs are uploaded to Spotify PER DAY. At some point, it will be (effectively) 100% AI content.

No one’s asking for this future, so why are they forcing it on us?

Here's one I want to feature: It's called Vocana.
It's for those like me who dig indie music:

Just try it. We deserve better than Spotify.

We gotta ditch Spotify. That means we have to try new platforms.
I've been auditing new platforms as a part of my new project:

Creating content is now a part of creating art – but we can't let it do the driving: https://patreon.com/boezi/posts/resist-the-pressure-161346073

Slow down, gather your power. Take your time, create something that changes minds. Don't sell off your attention and talent to those who want to see you caged and wageless.

Change takes time. So take your time. We need your art more than ever.

Our senses have a limited bandwidth – what we see is never the whole picture. But we can use it to extrapolate the wider view.

Our beliefs create blind spots as well – it may be your brain’s defense mechanism, but it runs counter to your amygdala’s survival instincts. 

In other words, I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
But I can’t believe what I’m NOT seeing either.
