This week on Electric Avenues I'm starting a series talking about steps we can all take to step away from Big Tech! electricavenues.net/breaking…
Breaking Up with Big Tech - Part 1

Breaking Up with Big Tech - Part 1

As Big Tech becomes increasingly parasitic and horrific, how can you reduce your dependence on them? Let's talk about alternatives you can use and steps you can take.

My goal will be to lay out steps which improve our lives, but are also reasonable and sustainable. Too often advice along these lines is just unrealistic for most of us.

This week on Electric Avenues I discuss the effect social media has had on our politics, and the steps all of us can take to transform our outrage into the momentum needed to forge a better world. electricavenues.net/why-have…
Why Have Movements Failed?

Why Have Movements Failed?

Social media has transformed protest movements. So, why does it feel like they never succeed?

This one was important to me and it was one of the reasons I started Electric Avenue in the first place. I wanted to write it later when more people were reading, but it felt too relevant to this moment to save it. If you enjoy the piece, I would hugely appreciate reposts!

I'm starting a blog called Electric Avenues! It'll be focused on how tech has changed us, the complexities of living in this moment, and what we can all do to improve our lives and our world. You can find a link to the first piece below!

I don't post here much anymore, but I have a family member with terminal cancer who relies on Medicaid to stay alive. This is a constitutional crisis that will kill people. Even if this doesn't affect you directly, please call your representatives.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health insurance from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

NEW: Sunrise Movement is launching a digital ad to turn out young voters and make the stakes of this election clear. The devastation of the climate crisis is undeniable, but Donald Trump doesn’t care about us — just himself and his billionaire friends.

damn that's crazy anyway on bluesky, users have named the blocking function "the nuclear block" because it's such a powerful tool to reduce harassment and dogpiling you should have control over your experience online bsky.app/download

X/Twitter is reportedly set to remove the block button If the blocked account is public, it will still be visible to you via @nima_owji

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is incorrect. The block button will not be removed, but its functionality will be changed. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu… Additionally, this was discussed earlier, and the changes never went through due to non-compliance with app store guidelines.
