Addresses how tech empowers community organizing and protest movements to combat the systems of capitalism and data exploitation that helped drive tech's own rise to ubiquity. Our smartphones have brought digital technology into the most intimate spheres of life. It's time to take control of them, repurposing them as pathways to a democratically designed and maintained digital commons that prioritizes people over profit. Smartphones have appeared everywhere seemingly overnight: since the first iPhone was released, in 2007, the number of smartphone users has skyrocketed to over two billion. Smartphones have allowed users to connect worldwide in a way that was previously impossible, created communities across continents, and provided platforms for global justice movements. However, the rise of smartphones has led to corporations using consumers' personal data for profit, unmonitored surveillance, and digital monopolies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon that have garnered control over our social, political, and economic landscapes. But people are using their smartphones to fight back. New modes of resistance are emerging, signaling the possibility that our pocket computers could be harnessed for the benefit of people, not profit. From helping to organize protests against the US-Mexico border wall through Twitter to being used to report police brutality through Facebook Live, smartphones open a door for collective change.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good Product
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton swabs are very soft and gentle. They feel sturdy and do not fall apart easily, which I appreciate. The baby-safe tips make them more comfortable to use, and the organic cotton is a nice plus. Good quality and useful to keep on hand.

The Best for Baby! A New Parent Must-Have!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
After you make your baby registry, you think that you've considered everything you need and are prepared for just about anything - but oftentimes we forget the little things that we will use on a regular basis and these cotton swabs are one of those things that never crossed my mind until push came to shove... I absolutely love the "baby cotton swabs. The way the q-tip is made is fantastic as it does not allow you to go too far into the babies ear canal. It has a thinner tip for ear cleaning which meets a thicker "fluffier" cotton base. My daughter moves around a lot, so being extremely careful unfortunately is simply not enough once she started becoming more mobile. She will move her head or jerk around and this safety feature does not allow me to accidentally insert too far in.
Additionally, it cleans the ear very well, the skinnier tip is great for wax build-up inside the canal while the larger thicker part is also fantastic for cleaning/drying ears outside of the ear canal/around the ear opening. I use these for clearing out baby's ear wax, drying the outer ear canals after bath, I've even used them after she got her ears pierced to ensure no saline solution has gotten inside of the canal. I went to the pediatrician and received a compliment about how clean her ears are and she mentioned she sees a lot of parents struggle to keep their babies ear clean. She asked what we were doing and I let her know about these and she let me know she would start recommending it to parents.
I will continue using these until my daughter is old enough to clean her own ears, this is my 3rd box and I like them so much I've even added them to my subscribe and save.

Pure and Simple — My Go-To Organic Cotton Swabs
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These Sky Organics cotton swabs are my new favorite. I use them after my shower, and they feel soft but sturdy — not flimsy at all. The cotton is thick and tightly wound, which makes them more effective for cleaning and touch-ups without coming apart.
I really appreciate that they’re made from organic cotton, free from dyes or harsh chemicals. They’re easy to hold and use, and I love knowing I’m choosing something cleaner and better for my skin and the environment.
Pros:
• Thick and tightly packed cotton tips
• Effective and easy to use
• Made from organic cotton — no chemicals
• Sturdy paper sticks
• Eco-friendly packaging
Cons:
• Slightly pricier than generic brands, but the quality makes it worth it
Overall:
Soft, durable, and chemical-free — an excellent choice for anyone who values clean, effective, and eco-conscious personal care items

Soft, durable, and perfect for beauty and self-care routines
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These organic cotton swabs are my go-to for just about everything. They are soft but sturdy, so they do not bend or leave fuzz behind like cheaper ones sometimes do. I use them for cleaning around my eyes when removing makeup, fixing winged eyeliner, and even cleaning around my ears. They also come in handy for little touch-ups when painting my nails.
I love that they are made with organic cotton and are completely chlorine-free, which makes them feel safe and gentle for everyday use. The quality really stands out, and the large pack lasts a long time.
Hack: dip one in acetone to clean around your nails after painting for a quick, salon-style finish.
