As communicators, we are complicit in the harm caused by performative communications, microaggressions, reinforcing stereotypes in our content, and contributing to damaging our brand’s reputation…. As conscious communicators, with an awareness of others’ experiences and a commitment to centering them, we are uniquely positioned to help build a truly people-centered workplace.
Janet M Stovall, The Conscious Communicator: The Fine Art of Not Saying Stupid Sh*t

Steven Magee
Potent solar storms happen every century and we are overdue for one. All communications, electrical and electronic systems are expected to be destroyed at that time. Modern society will end for several years until it can recover from the extensive global damage.
Steven Magee
