People... watch out for these things!

The saying applies with more than usual force here: if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer: you're the product being sold. (And maybe you're the product being sold even if you are paying for it.)

DO NOT MAKE YOUR PERSONAL PHYSICAL DATA AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO COULD THEN SELL IT TO THOSE INVESTED IN USING IT TO SURVEIL YOU AND POTENTIALLY CHARGE YOU WITH CRIMES.

The most recent generation of Internet users has been carefully and systematically encouraged by Big Data to get casual and easygoing about (for convenience's sake) trusting their data in the hands of total strangers. Time to break that habit.

Don't make it easy for yourself to become someone else's horror story. Take a careful look at all the apps you've been using and taking for granted, and start asking questions about who gets to see the data you give them, and just what they get to do with it.

Warning!

ART in STAR WARS REBELS

To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history… philosophy… arts. — Grand Admiral Thrawn

Ezra, it’s art; everything has a meaning. — Sabine Wren

You think you can take whatever you want. Things you didn’t make, didn’t earn, things you don’t even understand! You don’t deserve to have this art, or Lothal. — Ezra Bridger

In case you missed it

if you want to actually materially address child abuse, the single most important thing you can do to start is give children the legally enforceable right to leave any situation they no longer want to be in.

church, extracurriculars, summer camps, school classes, their biological family's houses. notably, these are the places that child abuse is enabled by the child's inability to just fucking leave if they need to. they can't walk out of church if their youth pastor touches them inappropriately; they'll get punished for leaving. if they walk out of their house because their dad hits them, the cops pick them up and give them right back to their dad.

children need the legal autonomy to leave abusive situations in order to even begin to usefully materially address child abuse.

Oof the truth

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks
