    Turns out the people who come out in the unseasonably cold driving rain to talk to authors and get books are my people.

    And we're gonna need that grit in the times ahead, my friends. Because all of it — knowledge, science, arts—is under attack and books are 100% part of the fight.

    I become more convinced every day that focusing on the wrong metric ("efficiency" "sales" "likes and subscribes")—or metrics at all tbh—is insidiously corrupting and will actually prevent you from doing the thing you're *really* trying to do.

    Know why you're in this. Stay on that.

    I would smash this into the concrete.

    Early in the AI assault-on-everything, I wrote a few short stories about this endless thirst for data, how they would never stop & the invasiveness would quickly go Black Mirror.

    Anyway, you can get those stories here: https://susankayequinn.com/books/closet-full-of-time-and-other-dark-tales

    @seanbala ironically, I think it even makes it worse for THEM... because it degrades their service/company and eventually that shows up on the bottom line. It might make it "better" for one quarter when they fire everyone and ride on the high of delivering crappy service for less cost to them, but it won't last. I'm less likely to renew AAA. It will *COST THEM* and somehow every company has to learn this shitty lesson personally.

    Got a flat tire. Called AAA. It's all enshittified now. Tried to call & talk to a human & it hung up on me. Used the chatbot but it got all the info wrong in relaying it to the towing people. Once I got humans (the towing guy) on the phone, it was fine.

    I'm not surprised by fascist attacks on reality, education, science, arts—I'm surprised how effective erasure is. They'll simply *stop gathering data* on the climate crisis. They'll stop the weather predictions. They'll erase "DEI" from the website.

    That people will die is feature, not a bug.

    "I don't care about voting for judges!"

    Really? Because the integrity of the judicial system is under attack by fascists & it's REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT to have good judges.

    "But I don't know anything about the judges!"
    My friend, I'm begging you, use the internet.

    This Tiktok is a great idea for electoral candidates (use mutual aid to build political power):

    https://www.tiktok.com/@katmabu/video/7503648606725999902

    but you don't need to be someone running for office to do this—in fact, this is exactly what I've been encouraging people to do for a while, but esp since the election.

    Think local, build systems of care outside of capitalism.

    Rethink how you do everything and how it could move closer to community-connection and sustainable practices.

    It's food systems, it's where you shop, it's how you spend your time, it's your friend/neighbor networks...

    @NatureMC 100% on the metaphors — one of the problems early in the genAI discourse was a chronic lack of good metaphors or actively harmful outdated metaphors (this is still a problem with the harmful ones but we've developed some helpful ones that are getting encoded in language like theftbot).

    @dalias it's a testament to how strong the cultural norm has been that if you're "anti tech" in any capacity, you're some kind of loser that isn't cool and can't keep up with the world.

    Pretty impressive how the tech industry completely colonized the culture that way.

    Equally impressive how HORRIBLE the tech industry had to become before we made a dent in that cultural norm.

    GenAI did it.

    So much so we're reclaiming "Luddite" as punk-as-hell (it is).

    Some folks still catching up LOL
