writing notes

This Reddit post caught my imagination.

This week I presented at the 2026 Surveillance Studies Network conference in Lille, and I am still processing how good it was.

Last week, a Twitch streamer named Kenneth went viral for catching his girlfriend cheating — not through a private investigator, not through a tip from a friend, but through the camera embedded in their $900 smart litter box.

Some goodbyes arrive quietly.

Remember the first time you realized your smart speaker was always listening?

We’re living through something strange.

In a moment of synchronicity, I was quoting Orwell in a text I was writing when I read about a recent incident on the New York City subway that offers a troubling glimpse into our surveillance-saturated future, and our ability to resist it.

We’ve all seen that painting, or one like it.

I’ve spent years collecting quotes about writing, first in notebooks, then scattered across devices and margins of books.

We often use technology to bridge the distances we find ourselves faced with.
