Doing those Dumbass Blender tutorials was supposed be a way for me to get noticed. But no matter how utterly insane my ideas were, I just fell deeper and deeper into despair.

Continuing to try to figure out the internet and information in 2025. Access to information has changed a lot in 20 years—it now seems that individuals have an intense responsibility as "executives" of their own attention.
I'm threading together my new place online: for my art, for my political discourse, for my support of quality press institutions, etc.
Mastadon is a decentralized social network: let's not let that mean "siloed."
Young people today navigate unprecedented challenges: economic precarity, geopolitical instability, the erosion of traditional pathways in work and #education, AI's looming disruption of career prospects, and accelerating climate catastrophes.
Banning phones is a superficial solution to profound problems.
The evidence is unignorable and demands our #attention.

#the100dayproject Theme: make beautiful things shine even more. Along the path where I often walk there is a pole. Over the years, the core has rotted away. But the heartwood where branches once sat is beautiful to see. It seems I am the only one who knows that! #attention #beauty natural #art

Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero
This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)

Henry Farrell's consideration of the attention economy & political science's failure to really see it, is an important read; he asks
'How might the attention economy remake the underlying structures of democracy? If there is a political scientist who predicted how Musk could effectively leverage his position to eliminate US-AID despite the legal and political barriers, I don’t know who she or he is'!
The political economy of attention *needs* our attention!

How the brain knows when to give up! Suppressing GABA-releasing neurons, made mice spend more time investigating one object. Turning off glutamate-related neurons made mice explore many objects; inhibiting serotonin-producing neurons made mice lose interest altogether.

I wrote a Google doc and invited editing on social media literacies for high school.
It needs updating, but it's still there, more than a decade later.
