    I'd like to direct the audience to Nine Inch Nail's Year Zero. A dystopian sci-fi concept album taking place starting in the year 2022. Though you have to read the pieces from the ARG to really capture the whole story. Sadly the tv show never got off the ground.

    I've been listening to it non-stop since the election. But this blog post really hammers home the core message of the resistance.

    Art is Resistance
    Here is one thing that the government wants you to forget
    You have a voice
    How are you going to use it?
    Art is witness
    Speak the truth
    Art is commmunity
    You will be heard
    Art is action without violence
    Art changes hearts without breaking bodies
    You Can Act

    I really think we have to fight to protect our time and attention. It's war against companies way more powerful than us and our own will power. We have to keep raising awareness and creating strategies and tools to help each other, not doing anything and we're guaranteed to lose. Great read, thanks for sharing!

    This is a good, important read. Right now, I want all of you to go into your phones notification settings and turn off all notifications except the 3 or 4 most important things for you.

    We are locked in a battle to direct our attention where we want it. Our attention has been commodified and failing to be cognizant of where your attention is going is detrimental to your goals and your health.
