He sought mythical form by which to render his #Vision; both necessary & ineffectual. #Myth is the mode of simultaneous awareness of a complex group of causes & effects. Electric circuitry confers a mythic dimension on our ordinary individual & group actions. #TheMediumIsTheMessage #MarshallMcLuhan
The Narcissus-narcosis is a state of hypnosis induced by the contemplation of the self as extended in an electric medium."

#Malala #MalalaYousafzai Malala Yousafzai and her father #Ziauddin #Yousafzai are teaching media ecology. Like University of Toronto Marshall McLuhan. The Medium is The Society. Religions are venues.

The lesson learned here is the medium of TV radicalizes people in ways that aren’t great.
*gesticulates wildly*
What sucks is that this can (and does) happen EVEN IF YOU WANT TO DO THE THING.
It can also be a problem when people are being bossy or condescending, even if they may be correct it makes me not want to listen to them #themediumisthemessage

I'd like to throw my discourse hat in the ring and assert that femininity itself is what dictates an intrinsic sense of submission and a place in lower hierarchy. while I respect everyone's wishes about their personal gender, I really do believe gender abolition is the way out #TheMediumIsTheMessage
being a trans non-binary person automatically disrupts all right wing narratives about trans people because it dates to step outside of their box of understanding of how gender works. #TheMediumIsTheMessage
Let’s get real here kids, the #USA is our toilet xo the only thing that will matter in a few years is #Water :) we have it xo remember that xo let’s focus on “Our Water” our future xo protect it by protecting our democracy xo #TheMediumIsTheMessage

Exactly what is needed to get the message out!
Local news will get closer to the audience than the national news!
Democrats need to get their messages in the media!
Saturate social media, the news media and print media!
Social media alone will not reach all the people needed!

Another task where a #typewriter works great: speechwriting. The linear and unforgiving process helps formulate better narratives than digital text. #themediumisthemessage
Wonder what #Jesus thinks of how #MaryMagdalene was treated by the Catholic Church? Was #She the true prophet? What if Peter lied, and we were raised to believe it? Peter was jealous of Mary. Did Peter love Jesus? Did Peter have two spirits? My thoughts today xo #TheMediumIsTheMessage
This hits. #TwitterEssay #DigitalRhetoric #TheMediumIsTheMessage
It’s about trust not pleasure. We must have transparency and accountability on our Mediums in a #Democracy xo #TheMediumIsTheMessage
