How can we reverse the whitewashing of our feeds?

This whole “google cleanse” has me thinking about everything I associate with my “world,” which is predominately internet-related things… we live in bubbles, everywhere, open abysses that we shout into as a cathartic way of processing the events around us. Trump became president because he manipulated the media, he manipulated our bubbles, he is creating a mental warfare. I just realized I need to stop using my own facebook to echo his voice. I need to echo the voices and words of others, of the others. My best friend Owen has a shirt that says “Silence = Death.” We also call it a “live feed” for a reason. LET’S GIVE LIFE TO THE VOICES THAT MATTER.

What is machine bias? THE MACHINE ALGORITHMS THAT CONTROL OUR LIVES ARE RACIST.

Can technology be racist? FUCK YES IT CAN BE! How can we change that? That’s I’m reflecting right now in my art, my existence, my interaction with the world.
