Powers shaping our personal lives
A storm takes out the power grid and cell towers for 24 hours: What happens to the construct we call daily life? Can we do our jobs? Can we function at home? What happens to us personally without social or other media? Who owns these services, why have we become so reliant on them, and who profits in what ways from our reliance?
How we function without electricity, internet, and phones – and how we feel - exposes the powers that define our reality and control our behavior, our identity and our beliefs.
We know you’re constantly bombarded with year-long requests. We ask once for donations in the Fall when our biggest bill - web hosting & security – takes the last of our supply. All staff and contributors are volunteer. Your contribution goes directly for the website (of which newsletters are one part) and is eligible for a charitable tax deduction.
