I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

Most folks going "aroo?" and "pikachu_face.jpeg" at the wild weather swings are the same folks who laughed and enjoyed abnormally warm (but stable) winter months in recent years. (As opposed to treating them as a huge red-flag, the final reminder to slash all carbon emissions to the bare minimum. 🫠)

Also, at my event at the Jacksonville Public Library, I signed a bunch of stock for San Marcos Books, which graciously sold books at the event. So if you're in/near Jacksonville, you can get signed books from them too (they also ship if you're not near Jacksonville).
