About Jason Velazquez (fromjason.xyz)
I'm a writer. I know this because I often choose writing over more lucrative freelance work— like searching for new clients 😅.
On my blog, fromjason.xyz, I often write about technology, design, social media, and sometimes, travel. My favorite subject to explore is the increasingly important convergence of technology and politics. I often call this topic "politech."
Politech is a framework for how political systems often work in the digital world. This framework has provided me with an opportunity to delve into political and social issues that are important to me in a unique way. For example, instead of focusing on the devastating effects of, say, a particular brand of nationalism (an important subject), I can explore how that rhetoric spreads through social media. Or, to provide an example I've discussed recently, how a company like Meta may maintain its power and influence.
If you've followed my writing for a while, you know I tend to bounce around topics. But I always try to provide the best of what I've learned, in the most upfront manner possible. I mean, sometimes I'm coy. But that's just because I'm a smart a***. 😀
Anyway, if you have ever found my writing valuable and you want to help me continue avoiding cold calling clients, you can buy me a coffee. It would mean a lot.
With love, from Jason.

Whenever I think about updating my robots.txt file, I can't help but feel a little like Robert Neville hanging garlic on his front door. Is it enough to deter the vampires? Who knows, but why risk it? Also, like my favorite Richard Matheson Novella, I wonder if, during some unknown spot in our digital timeline, we became the things that bump in the night. We are now the alien element amongst the o...
