I feel like this enters a gender overflow situation resetting the position of gender to 0; thereby locking the gender temporarily in a superposition of all possible gender before reality settles on a seemingly random outcome, since gender is not a zero indexed array…

We can all make it. But you gotta all believe it. You gotta stop stepping on other peoples hope. And you gotta believe it with actions. Make a new world real. But you gotta believe it. We can all make it.

The best time to found an Internet/tech focused non-profit with a FUCKING BACKBONE, was 15+yrs ago. The next best time is… (looks at the imminent recession, rising fascism, shrinking funding sectors) uh oh no oh no no no no

Our fucking floor is on fire and big nonprofits in so many sectors are out here like "How to walk further with no shoes" and "The unexpected gifts of the creative destruction of your epidermis!" and I cannot handle it

I have been trying to warn people about this project for over a year; their entire effort is riddled with “protect the children” and far right dog whistles. They also don’t even adequately examine the EXISTING solutions in the space. It’s a hash mash of ego driven + far-right/web3/fascist notions.

Journalists at mainstream US publications are absolutely allowed to engage in activism as long as it is aimed at reinforcing existing hierarchies and undermining progressive change. NYT news reporters recently engaged in a startlingly effective campaign against trans rights, for example.

If you want to be an effective communicator, there is no downside to assuming your audience is worth your respect, and making no other assumptions until you have done your research. People might be ignorant of the fundamental concepts of your field, but they know condescension.

Yep, “tech for good” and non-profit land fails to understand this too.

We need IKEA instruction-level schematics for how institutions work or should work. Necessary to point to, but of course not sufficient. The annoying thing about communication is that it is ongoing and you have to listen 10x as much as you speak/publish.

I feel this thread in my heart every. single. day. I wish none of us had to exist feeling like there’s an hour glass just out of frame trickling down. But all you can do is all you can do, love the things you love. Help. Live. Plant things. Hope something blooms. I am so sorry for all of us.

I mean this with kindness but the argument of “why would you think person is good at business look at all the bankruptcies!?” is flawed. In my experience ppl on the right see “escaping consequences” as good business. And, remember VC culture says “0 profit, great!” great con = good business

I dunno, I guess I’m that weirdo that still believes words ARE actions. Speaking is an action. Writing is an action. Sharing is an action. Sure, there’s a myriad of layers of efficacy on effectiveness/impact. But words are actions; especially when spoken by the powerful. Words shape worlds.

The LOTR is an allegory for nuclear weaponry. It’s also applicable as an allegory for modern “AI”. Yeah sure, YOU’RE gonna use it for GOOD. The fun thing about radioactive weaponry is its inherent corruptive properties.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

Add me to the list of folks who’ve also been thinking in this space. I’d agree with v, Cloudflare as a dependency is… concerning. I want a solution, but I keep feeling like the fact that the web seems to keep “needing” Cloudflare in so many situations is a flaw with the web that needs mending.

If you are having feelings and unsure about what to do about "all this" may I suggest GIVING MONEY TO TRANS PEOPLE? You will feel a little better after you GIVE MONEY TO TRANS PEOPLE. But Mike, what if I feel bad again tomorrow? GIVE MONEY TO TRANS PEOPLE TOMORROW TOO. Start here: translifeline.org

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.
