I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

This book sounds like one not to miss, particularly if you’re interested in datafication, the historical echoes of eugenics and anti-immigration movements in the context of techno-surveillance and algorithmic discrimination. Will try and tune in tomorrow!

We’ve now been in Sicily for four months, and although I’ve been visiting the island for years and years, I love how little by little we are integrating into the local community. Fruit and vegetables a gift from a friend from their farm. Today, the first coffee on the balcony after winter started 😊
