I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

A massive thank you to @dialectwriters whose GROW mentoring scheme linked me to Caleb Parkin (now over on the blue side) who was an inspiration and really helped hone and craft ballerinibookpress.ch/produc… Here's his very kind words. Thank you!

Reposted today from the original 100, a complex reflection on the potential for lost identity from @AmantineB on wordsofsolitude.wordpress.co…, and how #isolation can strip us of our 'selves'. #100wordsofsolitude #COVID19 #amwriting #amreading RT, Share, connect. #globalvoices

Live again on 100wordsofsolitude.wordpress…, our 37th piece is an acute reminder of how in #lockdown we can be lost in time and space, from @AmantineB. Isolation and solitude come in many forms, none more so than in the mind! #100wordsofsolitude #InThisTogether #WritingCommunity
