Sometimes I stop to recognize how thankful I am to stay sane within the space of learning about the distress the tech space is willing to impose on others, and that I - by my mere parttaking - impose as well. As the voice in my head questions: 'but how could you possibly be?'.
You might not think it, but reading 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism' by @shoshanazuboff really, really helps. Having a vocabulary to speak about what you are experiencing is vital to reflective thinking.

@nikkelin Tror jag får vänta 20 år innan jag kan läsa något som hjälper mig förstå vad det var som hände. Att lyssna på @gaslitnation har förvisso hjälpt lite.

Once upon a time it blew my mind how few countries have this.

Brag post coming up:
1.5 million downloads in the last 5 years. Listeners all over the world. It's crazy, humbling, and probably okay to feel a little proud. Thanks to James Royal-Lawson for doing this with me and making sure the podcast will actually celebrate a 10-year anniversary next year!
