If you are anywhere near the same circles I am in, you have heard people shouting “do not obey in advance”. Sometimes a directive, sometimes admonishing, sometimes a rallying cry. But rarely is it teased out beyond a demand of individual behavior change. Our choices matter. And every individual together makes up collectives, corporations, institutions, and governments. So yes, many individuals deciding not to “obey in advance” has an impact.

But I cannot help but hear the shaming voices of so many campaigns

We find ourselves in a new era. One that did not come from no where but has been built on everything that came before. Yet still feels like a total shock even to those paying attention. Everything has been upended. I know I am still spinning from it all. One tactic, not new especially to activists and political speakers on the left is social media censorship. But it is here with new fervor and new power.

So I decided its now time to dive into an experiement -a blog. Or perhaps more specifically a way to share my process, my work, and thoughts through my own platform.
