"Capitalism, which has multi-layered discriminations encoded within, affects how thoroughly people are capable of bracing the damages wrought by climate change. The Global South is much more likely to feel it, despite contributing much less to causing it"

roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

"But there is no Plan B and the bubble, it turns out, is where we have been living all the while. The bubble is that delusion of isolation under which we have laboured for so long. The bubble has cut us off from life on the only planet we have. The bubble is civilisation." https://mastodon.cc/media/LZQq-mWCjXAKhXcpPu0

Really enjoyed all these political & technical discussions with so many super smart people @ #sha2017. See you again in four years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://mastodon.cc/media/Xg0WT58bIcxJGIKGL1Q
A nice #mastodon feature would be connection with other services (eg. twitter), so one can easily find common contacts to follow.
