I will not allow the creation of audio versions of my work that are not performed by people. I will not use artificial voices. Human art and craft being subsumed by a gray morass of proprietary apps is not inevitable just because the fuckers investing in the morass say so.
Truly urge everyone to watch and listen. No speech will be like this tonight, in the justice of its cause, and facing a vicious invader's terror.

#russia deprives 10 mln Ukrainians of Christmas this year by bombing energy infrastructure. On the darkest day of the year give one #hourforUkraine. 21 Dec, 20.00-21.00 switch off your festive lights, cut off the power and give your thoughts to #Ukraine. /1
As someone who has been subject to real + dangerous plots, I do get it. I didn’t have security and have experienced many scary incidents.
In fact, many of the right-wing outlets you now elevate published photos of my home, car, etc.
At a certain point you gotta disconnect.
You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one.
I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you.
Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone.
