Newsletter 1.2
Hay! It's Reed. A rant, some media, and a ask inside; whatcha think? check it out? 🤔🤷♂️
Yoooooooooo,
Suh friend! In this update I rant about Facebook, provide some media, and have a ask for you. Check it out below!
Facebook Deleted!
Facebook is swiftly going to follow Twitter in toxicity. Invest elsewhere or fall to the trap of arguing with conservative bots. Like legit, Facebook is leaning into bots, and for sure bad actors are salivating at the chance to unleash programmatic content. The same company that caused BREXIT WITH JUST MEMES now has AI posting on it's own. They tried to "sell" it to you. Its joever. Every and any account could be a bot. It is simple to take your likeness. They don't respect your data; well proven. There comes a day when Facebook sells digital ghosts; the ability to talk to a dead loved one. Literal demon daemons.
Dead! Dusted! Deleted! My personal account down.
Well, in 30 days. Facebook knows it's a addictive thing and it tries super hard to impress the value of it's service as you leave. It took like a dozen clicks, confirmations, lists of things, surveys, and bunch of other stuff just to be told my info won't be up for deletion for 30 days. So will see if we go back 🤷♂️
Anyway, it actually did feel something doing this. Right on the delete button, I could feel my stomach somewhat drop. Some sort of anxiety, like the same feeling coming off a drug. Take it from a addict, those sweaty palms for sure a sign of how addictive this thing is.
To combat that, here I am sharing. Hope to hear from you. Legit is me over here typing away.
Try out Change Maker? I use the system to make this newsletter :)

Found Media
I love old, weird, odd, and often times horrific media. Like gory, rough, catholically evil things.
Berserk is one of these kinds of show. It tortures. It is evil. It is gross. Toxic. Male gazy, because shocker, the leading characters are men. I project transness onto the character Griffith and probably will do a cosplay sometime. Death is prolific throughout. However the absolute destruction of the characters, the way it builds them up for the evil, is next to none. It leaves a solid slime of 'wtf' on the brain.
Talking about catholically evil things; this take-down by CJ the X of Jordan Peterson suits is sublime. Plus you can learn a bunch about suits while watching it.
Okay for one more evil recommendation; have you seen squid game? Did you like it?
You would love Psycho Pass. This show passes itself off as a copy buddy show at the start, and has plenty of tropes, however, the representation of the absolute nature of a surveillance state combined with out-right "brain-in-a-jar" facist thinking is a combination that is surreal. I am 2/3rds done and best guess is that the show argues how if we live in the surveillance panopticon and the state still has authority; it will abuse its power. It grapples with the question; what happens when the state is the only remaining source of violence?
Season two also has a wonderful line about medical care for mental health; healthcare, without thought for the individual, is also violent in nature. For each, their own, is the only way. This is why we must protect peoples rights to self-determiniation, even those we consider criminal.
Help!
Friend, I need your help. I need to get out and more and chat with people. I have already written up a bunch of content that I am hoping to chat with people about. I need a hand sharing it. Do you think anyone in your network would like to chat more about:
- What distributed digital organizing is
- How to do politics online without supporting billionaire oligarchs who want your every secret
- Ways to build followings and not get got in the age of surveillance capitalism
This email is tied to my personal inbox. If you share this and introduce me to a colleague I would be thrilled and will owe you a solid.
If you would like to chat any of the above, or just be pen pals through email, it would be wonderful. I am embracing slower and thoughtful communication; come along with me?
Anyway, I think that is all for now folks! Wishing y'all peace and prosperity.
