Dear Friends, Acquaintances, and hopefully other interested parties:

Approaching the Hebraically Lunar Year of 5785: And Surprisingly Still Alive! Here is a bulleted list for me to sum up things at this juncture. (If you may recall that upon entering 5781, I was like... Ready or not: here we come!)
  • Cleaning the Slates: Unity and Accountability? Collectively solving individual problems.
  • Experience informs _expression_: Healing begins when we agree to wise up!
  • Clean, safe, & non-toxic living: No mind/body/soul pollution
  • Confessing complacencies and complicities: Nobody is exempt
  • Righteous indignation promotes justified transformation: Teleological ethics can be altruistic
  • Avoidance includes not feeding our escapist habits
  • The art & science of building community (cf: Charles Vogl)
  • Pain has its purpose: Wounds offer wisdom (bell hooks or Tirzah Firestone?)
  • Escalating needs for a realignment this election year: There may be no other choice?
  • Emerging from the rubble of this great COVID masquerade
  • Repairing the damages of from condoning, promoting, and exploiting the tools of toxic masculinity (i.e. slavery & genocide): Smudging the White (Master's) House?
  • Addressing economic collapses caused by surveillance capitalism
  • Trump predicts more mayhem not long after Noam Chomsky had a stroke
  • Transformative Justice, Cancel Culture, & The DEI+ Junk (FKA: Affirmative Action)
  • Sobriety is sexy (i.e. I don't like to be around you when aren't yourself)

On the Horizon:
  • A private tutoring service for addressing the various obstacles often affecting "apprehensive communicators"
  • Continued financial recovery: Addressing ongoing debts and other pertinent matters...
  • Getting to Brandeis in Fall 2025 for a Masters in Public Policy (Think: Kathy Acker meets Pauli Murray?)
  • Making this "DEIMOCKRAZY: Why Digital Citizens are Hooked on Bullsh*t (and How it is Driving Us Crazy)" an endeavor toward "Sustainable Development" (Columbia has a PhD program)
  • Forthcoming Music Anthology: "Not Another Marketing Ploy: Punk/Indie Rock's Lost Girls and Troubled Boys (and everyone in-between and beyond)"
  • Wrongful termination claim against the Hampshire Regional YMCA's After School Program via MCAD
  • Section 8 Housing Application and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Reconceptualizing meta-literacy skills & librarianship as the gatekeeping of global lore: The medium is the lesson! (Looking for opportunities to explore public policy for economic reform under surveillance capitalism, as a result.)

VISION: Stopping the epidemics of misinformation, disinformation, & malinformation/propaganda from disrupting our socio-cultural ecosystems by facilitating the effective, appropriate, & ethical comprehension/production of information, media, & technology (IMT) artefacts.

MISSION: Building a taskforce of nonviolent communicators who are:
1) Elevating “Conceptual Age” skills: design, story, symphony, empathy, play, & meaning
2) Advocating for mindful “meta-literacies” (i.e. becoming better bullsh*t detectives) involving the creation, selection, organization, presentation, dissemination, consumption, & preservation stages of artefactual processing
3) Promoting an informed, engaged, & wise global citizenry and participatory Democracy in order to combat media pollution, information disorder, & “techno-lust”
4) Adopting the seven principles of data feminism: examine power; challenge power; elevate emotion and embodiment; rethink binaries and hierarchies; embrace pluralism; consider context; & make labor visible
