+++ NEW PUBLICATION OUT IN NMS +++
Why does #media and #communication #change proceed the way it does - and not on another possible route?
How can we explain its paradoxes, for instance, society's ongoing reliance on the #FilterBubble metaphor to explain the impact of #SocialMedia on #democracy---while empirical research tells us filter bubbles hardly exist?
In this essay, I present a structure-actor of public communication change that helps answer these questions.
"Awareness is the greatest agent for change."

People say “be the change” like you have to start a revolution by Tuesday. No pressure!
Just start tiny. Say thank you. Refill the office coffee pot. Pick up litter. Don’t let your phone beep in a quiet room like a monster. Join the local mayor's office. Spend an afternoon with your elderly neighbour.
Goodness isn’t about huge gestures - it’s about a million tiny ones. 🙂
You know those digital petition sites, for example, Change dot Org?!
Your government officials have those on their spam list and never receive them - Ever.
Furthermore, many of those sites make money by getting you to boost your petition, which is pointless, because again, your elected official will never receive it. Or by selling all the details of everyone who signed the petition.

So if you want to properly change your Mac’s hostname without macOS mollycoddling you and changing it back, use:
sudo scutil --set HostName <hostname>
(Not hostname --set <hostname>).

There’s so much change happening in my life right now, and I’m not coping as well as I’d like. Change for me often means a lot of anxiety and stress, and right now, I feel overwhelmed.
Our church music director left today. While we have a temporary replacement to run rehearsals, it’s going to disrupt how I prepare for services. Normally, I get music two weeks in advance so I can have it transcribed, but that won’t happen for a while. This uncertainty adds extra pressure.
I’ve also decided to step back from the symphonic chorus and join a community choir instead. With my studies starting again in two weeks, I need to reduce stress. The symphonic chorus was becoming too much—production weeks were 5–6 days long, and they’re now doing more split rehearsals, which made everything harder to manage. I’ve become burnt out. I want to sing purely for the joy of it without worrying about perfection or endless score markings that took up most of rehearsal time.
Another major change is rebuilding my social network. I’ve realised my expectations for friendships have been too high, but it’s hard to know how to lower them without feeling like I’m losing part of myself. The time it takes to build connections these days is exhausting; it feels like it takes a year to even have coffee with someone. I’m starting to think deep conversations aren’t valued anymore, so I’m reserving those for online spaces where they feel more welcome.
It’s hard not to feel like there’s something wrong with me. My interests are so different from most people my age. I’m not working, I don’t have kids living with me, and when you add mental health and disability challenges to the mix, I feel like I don’t fit in. I’ve always felt different, both emotionally and in how I come across to others, and it’s really hitting me right now.
If you’re feeling similarly, I’d love to connect. Let’s share in this journey of navigating change, finding joy, and redefining what connection means. #Change #Anxiety #MentalHealth #MusicLife #Choir #Burnout #Community #Friendship #Disability #EmotionalWellbeing #SelfCare #MindfulLiving #PersonalGrowth

"It has always been this way." is possibly the most damaging statement there is - because *IT* hasn't always been this way.
Things which have not always been this way:
- the right to vote
- pensions
- maternity leave
- social security
- medicine and healthcare
Let's add UBI to this list. Let's imagine how great it would be to have a safety net. Let's get to work on making it a reality.
UBI can become reality ❤️

i just read that article: https://moxie.org/2013/06/12/we-should-all-have-something-to-hide.html and now i have an even more radical take on why privacy matters.
TLDR: without privacy, change becomes way harder or impossible, because in todays age, surveillance is everywhere and if you can't try some things that go a little against the existing order, it become harder to imagine anything else working.

There's a type of reply-guy that crawls out of the woodwork when I post anything that might inspire others to take action, and they're deceptively insidious.
Regardless of the topic, they sound like this:
Alice: I don't own a gun because they're for killing and I'm not a fan of killing.
Bob: Then only the bad guys will have guns.
Alice: I deleted my Facebook account.
Bob: If the good people leave then the bad guys win.
Alice: I'm openly queer so others know they're not alone.
Bob: You'll make yourself a target.
In every instance, they defend the shitty state of things by discouraging action and change. It's a reply that is designed to support the default, the current power structure. It's a type of reply meant to de-fang movements.
I've posted about this before, but apparently it bears repeating. Fighting for something takes energy. Change takes sustained energy and momentum. These types of interactions sap energy. They're not posting anything openly disagreeable, they're just dropping little doubt caltrops, little concern anchors—making it harder to keep fighting, harder to gain momentum.
If you're about to jump into a thread and concern troll, don't. I'm fucking sick of it. The rest of us don't have the time or energy to drag your dead weight along.
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
