Love having @zeynep back from her (crucial) pandemic-focused thought leadership!
"Telling people to not use these powerful platforms if they don’t want to be unreasonably surveilled is blaming the victim."

"When you link your representations of family to a logic of capitalist progress, you are applying a teleology of ongoing upward growth to your lives. What might this mean?"

At @WaterstonesPicc this afternoon and feeling emotional over the fact that not only is there a massive LGBTQ+ fiction section, there are *also* piles of LGBTQ+ books in the teen and kids areas. When I was young we got a shelf, if lucky. This is awesome! 💜💙🧡💛

So the onus is on us now to be visible and legible to “autonomous” cars. Humans must change for technology. How soon until another person is killed by one but this time Waymo says it’s their fault for not wearing the “don’t hit me” beacon?

The most honorable thing to do would be to pay her family.
Nearly 70 years after her death, Henrietta Lacks — whose cancer cells were taken without her knowledge or consent and led to world-changing advances in medical and scientific research— was honored by the World Health Organization. nyti.ms/3iZjPad

“One of the arguments people like to make is that you can’t go back on particular technologies — you can’t put the genie back in the bottle,” Gilliard says. “That’s patently untrue. No one would look at asbestos and say, ‘Well, you can’t outlaw chemistry.’" -@hypervisible 👏👏👏

This episode on ‘Clicktivism’ by @thingsintersect talks about how activism in online space is equally important.
Dismissing the value of people’s voice on the digital space is often done by those with power and privileges. Resistance in many forms.

Very hard to understand how promises of a big-hearted approach towards Afghan refugees sit with draconian reforms to the UK asylum system which will see anyone who flees here by boat/lorry criminalised

We know women in computing have historically faced erasure—but are we prepared to confront the fact that it’s still happening?
