Incredible new project - we MUST start with the most vulnerable communities when imagining online privacy protections-- they have the most to lose from privacy violations . See also my most recent book The Private is Political, which has a chapter about queer/trans privacy

Incredible research from @jhereia.bsky.social & team 🎉 Having some mixed feelings since our community's reality has changed since reviewing last year when some of these recs actually felt in reach, but, it is so important to have a vision of what we are fighting for when it comes to digital rights 💜

Incredibly important work dropping today from @jhereia.bsky.social and team! A vital part of responding to our current reality is knowing what we are working towards as a community and having that blueprint for the future. This is that vision for our digital rights, let's continue the fight 💜

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Don't ever think we are doing that much better than our neighbours in protecting/not attacking trans rights. It's a global, coordinated agenda Thanks for the risk map 💙

Some North American scholars really need to learn to work with people and perspectives from Latin America as a collaborative process and not an imposition of how they want us to think, write and speak 🫠🫠🫠
