Draw something fun for myself. Like I always do. You can see @silver-tongues-blog and Kilala, who’s Tumblr name I cannot remember at this moment. Booooo.
Ring has a history of approaching local neighborhood watch groups and HOAs to convince residents to use Amazon surveillance systems at little or no cost to homeowners - PLEASE make an effort to participate in local community groups like HOA boards or get to know your neighbors in apartment buildings or go to local city council meetings and PLEASE speak against the unregulated expansion of surveillance systems and the erosion of individual privacy.
“I don’t want Amazon to know when my kids get off school to go play, or what toys they want in the back yard. I don’t want Amazon to learn my work schedule based on when my car is in the driveway. I don’t want the police to request footage of my yard to issue fines for improper vehicle storage. I don’t want an automated camera filming my daughter in the swimming pool.”
Make the argument that even people who don’t have anything to hide don’t want a camera on a pole recording the things they do in their homes.
I wish people realized that the people in their 20s currently speaking out against hypersexual internet culture aren’t doing it because we’re killjoys but because we were the first generation of people who grew up fully online and we can see the damage its done to us. If you can’t tell the difference between us and your puritanical conservative uncle then that’s on you!
and so much of that damage was done not by even partaking directly in that culture but by being desensitized to it through exposure and subsequently losing our concept of healthy expectations and boundaries, and being groomed by people we thought were our friends. we have normalized receiving unwanted sexual advances and comments/opinions and you get called a prude for telling someone not to be inappropriate with you.
