Discover Frictional Living With Us.

We are losing control of our minds, bodies, ecosystems, and politics. Technology is mediating too much of our lives.

Our minds are becoming reshaped by the incessant push to outsource our creativity and humanity, our attention diminished by the relentless onslaught of distracting information.

Our bodies are manhandled to submit to procedural procedures, subjected to industrial toxins, and treated as inconvenient machinery.

Our natural world is heated, polluted, pillaged, discounted, wasted, and ruined by the ever-growing needs and logics of technology.

Our politics are becoming governed by algorithms designed for others, divorced from lived realities, and dictated by cold and powerful machinations.

We are being stripped of our agency as we sleepwalk through the ravages and delights of our high-tech era.

It is time to fight back and care more about our omnipresent relationships to technology.

To detox our minds.

To reclaim our time and rediscover joy.

To heal our bodies and protect nature.

To rage against the machine.

We need to wake up together and share strategies for caring better.
