“Just because you are outside of your home doesn’t mean you have consented to having a random bozo collect your face and your name, the latter of which can enable them to search for your digital presence or even home address. The act of existing in public should not carry those risks.”
Another v v good piece of analysis from @onlyfacts.io here - showing how the shift to uts and SUVs in Australia is a major component of rising transport emissions

I would never argue all self-publishing is bad, but I realized years ago that Amazon designed KDP for exactly this purpose: to incentivize people to adopt new tech to churn out more slop titles in a clear attack on the publishing industry with little regard for readers or even the writers themselves
So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.
✌🏽I’d love to get to know you better. My emails are a way we can do that more thoughtfully (IMHO) than on social media - and you can avoid missing out because of an algorithm.

✌🏽I love making and sharing art! Art is not a luxury or a guilty-pleasure; it is what makes us human… and the world needs original art now more than ever.
☝🏽I write my newsletters from the heart and with rigour, attentive to what my readers and the world are going through. I don’t use GenAI - so you can trust that you’ll be reading my words and hearing my voice.
☝🏽I’m on a mission to support people to step into their creative power - because I believe that creativity is the ultimate facilitator and sign of health in a community. My Creative Living newsletter is one way I support people - you - to reap the benefits of a creative life.
I would love to send you my (free!) Creative Living newsletter. See 4 reasons in the comments.

Without policy action and a coordinated global response, ultra-processed foods will continue to rise in human diets, harming health, economies. It’s time to act.
REALLY chuffed to be invited to @parismarx.com's incredible @techwontsave.us pod to talk about not just the climate harms we face from an uncontrolled data centre expansion but the way companies enacting it seem to think they're cape-wearing climate superheroes -->>>

The memories, the remains and the still-standing beach shacks huddled amidst the taller buildings of our Coast delight me. What about you?
