Lastly I would say to any tech person trying to change the world—we already changed it quite a bit. Maybe take your foot off the gas and look around first. The tech startups that came up in the 1990s and 2000s had really excellent intentions and pure motives. It's not enough. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1128857953937907714

And my feelings about it are very complicated. But we won\u2019t get into that here, not yet anyways. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is that it is very hard to write in one\u2019s own voice. The heaviest book that I\u2019ve read that reminded me of this is Buckminster Fuller\u2019s<em> Critical Path</em>. Which you would only read if you were a big giant nerd for systemic change, which I am. Of course he was quoting ee cummings.

I\u2019ve idly read studies, both of the breathy cohort trend and deeply researched and considered variety that suggests that many of the symptoms I experience are more common with younger folks. But my fear, and how I have failed to manage it, and the specific constellation of cultural contexts and childhood traumas that have made it an object in my life, are mine alone. We will get in to some of those specifics here, because they are interesting and important to my point of view. But still, not yet. They\u2019re long stories involving blogging and steamed buns and bullets.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am grateful, and full of cautious optimism that the valid parts of my fear of public writing on the Internet are being mitigated, by my hard-working colleagues, frolleagues, and friends. I\u2019m gonna give some specific shout-outs to my outstanding frolleagues Lin Clark, Jen Simmons, Mike Hoye, Andrew Losowksi, Emma Erwin, Tantek \u00c7elik, Larissa Shapiro, Jessica Margolin, and Katharina Borschet for their inspiration, support and very hard work to make the web somewhere safe, empowering, and accessible to all. There are many others, but these folks specifically work incredibly hard and fight every single day for the conditions underlying my valid fears to change. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I came to Mozilla because I don\u2019t believe that Mozilla\u2019s future should depend on having a single futurist who writes in her own voice. I have been exploring, in a humbling journey, the depth of my long-held disagreement with a great friend and mentor that \u201cleaders make the future.\u201d I\u2019ve concluded that indeed, they don\u2019t, and that can be amazing. Along the way I discovered what it would take me to help build the kind of foresight capability I think this unique entity deserves, and it put me right back where I started. Doing the hardest work I\u2019ve ever done, in a way that I find deeply, embarrassingly, paralyzingly unsettling. But hey. Why do things the easy way when you can do them the right way?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I must write, and I must write in the open, and I must write in my own voice. Because otherwise, how will all of you know why I fight for the futures I do, in the ways that I do? How can you trust me?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First I need to trust myself, and that has been a quality I\u2019ve struggled with for most of my life. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I refuse to let another year of my life pass with this fear in it. It ends now. </strong></p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve so many things that have been on my mind. I\u2019ve been bottling and hiding and experimenting with the novel and wholly empowering privilege to be a much more private person than I have been. I\u2019ve all but left social media platforms, and have been highly meditative on what that does to my mental health and the role that particular form of controlled-space (not precisely public) writing has had on my phobia.

I\u2019m going to try very hard to disambiguate those influences: the cult-like social enterprises to which I\u2019ve dedicated my labor, my academic discipline and lineage, and the specific undeniable weirdness of this place, and my embeddedness in pop culture and media ecosystems, which I think about far more critically on a daily basis in my work than I ever have in the past. So in the course of getting to nobody-else, you\u2019ll also hear a lot about my personal identifications with Amy Santiago, Rosa Dias, Delen, Michael Burnam, Leslie Knope, and Don Quixote.

So today I finally had a phone appointment with the sleep doctor, following up on the sleep study I had done about 6 weeks ago.
The results are… inconclusive. And frustrating.
