We need to develop real boycott discipline.
One thing I’ve been doing lately is boycotting social media, including YouTube, other Google products, and Spotify every Wednesday.
(bc Wednesday is Mercury’s day, god of communication)
How are you strengthening your boycotting discipline?

It felt so weird in 2019 knowing Akira and Bladerunner were set then.
I haven’t watched Her yet because it felt too creepy, but I think it’s time in the last weeks of 2025.

It’s wild that “respect children” is a radical position. It’s not surprising that it is in authoritarian cultures, but it’s still so absurd. And painful.

I’m serious. Thing aren’t great, for sure.
And?
Telling ppl things are bad is easy.
Figuring out the path to someplace better is hard. And risky.
So: And?
There’s no thread here. Just “it suck.”

All that matters is what comes after the “and.”

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Sydney Sweeney finally saying “I’m not racist” (*but not “I’m sorry”) after her pockets got hit so bad HAHAHAHAHA you know the execs were yelling at her for her multiple flops, so now she has to lie about not knowing what the ad meant

I just made a substack only to learn folks are boycotting it :( I hate needing to switch over soon. I was so proud of myself for finally making it.

I could be wrong (I frequently am) but most people who call out racism, transphobia, ableism, and other prejudices, at least in my experience, aren't trying to cancel anyone.
They're asking for accountability. They want us to own our errors and be humble about them. And that's reasonable.

My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She asked:
Why are we hearing
about hospital admissions
rising in the UK and Canada
but not in the US?
I said I did not know.
And so she answered:
Because in the US
no one can afford
to go to a hospital.
And then neither of us laughed.
