I wrote about how email (our best protocols IMHO) could evolve into a ‘superinbox’—a human-first, AI-powered protocol with blockchain authentication that reinvents social media and the Internet. blobzine.substack.com/p/could-we-r...
Could we redesign email to be the next Internet?

Sweater progress. I think this one might actually get done before the weather changes.
How hard work, value, process, and performance get all tangled up with consumption, capitalism, and art on social media. Do you think performance makes the object and process interchangeable? Will we no longer care about the product of the work when the work is what we consume?
When the method becomes the work, does work become meaningless?
Creatives perform labor for free for the masses.

“My fascination with inflatable structures began when I realized how absurd, tender, and unstable they could be—all at once,” artist Rong Bao says. www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/07/rong...

What are some of your favorite Tumblr accounts?
if your man: - always soothes you when you're anxious - likes to hang out at your favorite record store - has dreamy ambient pads - plays at 172bpm that's not your man, that's a liquid drum n' bass record from 1996.
Here is my second large weaving, completed in March. This one took me a lot less time (~3 months) and I worked from a very simple cartoon outline and added all the colors and details as I went.
Does anyone know how to get a Meta Account Manager for a Business? I have a serious issue with a biz account and I am unable to get help through the standard chat and support. I would appreciate any referrals / help 🙏
We’re moving away from the Attention Economy and toward the Intimacy Economy, where we will value the quality of our followers, where we allow for more vulnerability. Will this new Economy bring us back together IRL? blobzine.substack.com/p/digital-mi...

A year ago, nearly to the day @jaimederringer.bsky.social nailed a major paradox (there are many) for artists i think #artistdilemma
I'm excited to share my newest weaving but I decided not to post any process photos before it's done. I think it will be done some time in April! It's probably going to be about 24" x 30". I tried a lot of new things in this piece.

Making Substack my most used social network/platform has dramatically improved my mental health, doomscrolling, and restored my much-needed critical thinking. My attention span has started to improve, too.

"People often switch between videos and fast-forward through them on platforms...We show that people consume media this way to avoid boredom. However, this switching behavior makes people feel more bored, less satisfied, less engaged, & less meaningful in some instances." www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

I selfishly wanted a peek at writer/designer Kristen Bateman's treasure trove so I asked her to join me for a little video Show and Tell where she shared her ten favorite accessories: blobzine.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

I’m interested in the psychology behind asking a question that’s already been asked and answered in the comments previously. Do we really want to know the answer? Or, do we just want to see ourselves type… kind of like when we want to hear ourselves talk?

My latest prediction ~ privacy will be a luxury. "As we approach a 1984-like society, which is being served to us (and by us) on the most palatable platter ever [...] we’re going to see a behavior shift in the opposite direction, making privacy a luxury."

In 2024, I took my fiber and textile skills to the next level! Say hello to my very first hand-knitted sweater 🧶 I am VERY proud of myself for pushing through even when I had to redo one of the sleeves about 8000 times 😂
everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there
