easily my favorite moment of #MozFest thus far was just listening to @schock.cc effortlessly connect the long history of globalized racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and heteropatriarchy to our current moment of AI/tech extractionism, oppression, and oligarchy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

so cool to learn that hypestudies.org exists 🚀

getting excited for my #FAccT2025 tutorial - today 5 pm Athens time! I'm sharing new work with @berkeleyischool.bsky.social's awesome Prof. Diag Davenport: "Public Interest Tech (PIT) Clinics as Applied Sociotechnical Pedagogy." the idea: bring real-world experience & impact into tech education 💫

The really grim reality is that this is really not just about kids - there are countless adults, often adult *professionals*(doctors, lawyers, teachers(!)) that use ChatGPT this way. And I can understand why - there's no warning on the box! Few truly understand the tech's very real limitations.

Fantastic piece on the history of race science: "It has become common to belittle the humanities for their irrelevance to the modern world....Yet perhaps the most important part of our method is not only to argue for better answers but also to ask whether our questions are in fact the right ones."

@ufw.bsky.social posts around Thanksgiving are some of the best. These farm workers ought to be on everyone's mind at that dinner table.

Reason number one thousand to never support Elon Musk: he's helping lead the charge against worker power.

AYYYYYYYYYY

✨ My first starter pack! It's a WIP, I'll definitely be adding to it.

New to Bluesky? We've made a starter pack of news, press, media, and journalists that have a strong San Francisco beat. The list is local and probably won't include national outlets. It's a work in progress, so if there's a local outlet or journo we missed, let us know! go.bsky.app/AfazoPy

SF Friends - Here’s a great starter pack of SF news outlets and journalists! go.bsky.app/UM68SJF

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me. go.bsky.app/5upv7SQ

my cute pandemic hobby of editing wikipedia has started to feel more and more like a radical political activity as I keep reading and correcting endlessly horrible takes on Israel 🙃 like come on people, just say the word Palestine !!! not hard !!

Local woman stays just informed enough to be angry and sad all the time

I had the immense pleasure of watching @safiyanoble.bsky.social speak on Friday at the #PublicInterestTechnology university network summit ( #PIT-UN ), and I'm still thinking about the clarity of the diagnosis she laid out for how we got here: Tech companies have parasitized the public good. 1/n

my people!!! 🥲

I first heard the term "wet bulb temperature" in a @hankgreen.bsky.social tiktok two years ago, and today the wet bulb temperature in DC is 90° F 🫣☠️ living through climate apocalypse sure is fun, kids
