meeting me

Ok, something truthful. If I'd felt like I wanted to see Chloe's office, I would have reminded Gary to include me in their recent meet, but I got the sense he had a certain pitch, and I'm allergic to power. -


As a woman, I like Chloe; whether I could be part of the politics crowd... I dunno. That's where the party guitar skills are useful.


I'm keen for the anti-prohibition coalition. But I hated the zoom meetings for Make it Legal. I think IRL is best for drug law reform discussions.👍

To be totally honest: I'd only meet with those people if everyone's cells were switched off, and the meeting wasn't in a bugged room.


Which is probs why Gary went with Dakta and the Know Your Stuff lady: but yeah, I'm keen for an off-the-record discussion. - More security precautions:


The listening devices can be turned on remotely -- that's science fact, so I'd expect the phones to be stored in a box.


And a room without any computers. Those have mics too. Also no smart watches or bluetooth devices. If it's an internet-capable device, I'm not keen to talk around those. Unless it's my on-the-record statements. 👍

Like, even my dumb phone is too smart. 🐸

So -- the Wire was 2008. Public meetings worked fine before smart phones. Now everyone has a microphone that I've shown is very powerful listening to their every word. I'm paranoid, but I'm very aware of what's possible. Even a 2.4Ghz signal can be tapped by the fuzz.

This is why I'm reclusive.
