        I recommend a highly entertaining book called “I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom”

        It’s a brilliant road trip/thriller/mystery but it’ll also show you how you’ve been trained to create posts like this

        Very interesting read

          thx for the suggestion! i actually trained myself and am very aware of the systems and cultures that inform my behavior tho so i don’t think this will be as damning to me as you might think

          /shitpost for a sec: i think i recognize the book cover, is this the one where there’s a quote about recording brutality with cell phones being dehumanizing?

          if i am thinking of the right thing i was not impressed by that tiny moment at least because it comes off as super dismissive to the value cell phone video has brought to POC in the fight against police brutality. but maybe i am wrong or taking it out of context.
