This article was so accurate it was painful. It’s hard for me at times to continue to speak when I know that racism is always a “not here” problem. To know that even sharing this & saying that EVERY library does this will not matter. It will always be downplayed and/or erased 1/3

On this trans day of visibility, I searched Staples to see if they had a trans flag I could add to my supply order request, and this is what Staples gave me

After spending a few years cutting through Big Tech's B.S. about AI ethics, I've created a glossary to help you decode what all of their favorite terms actually mean.
I had way too much fun working on this! Threading some of my favorites below. technologyreview.com/2021/04…

It's been a long time since I've really focused on starting and finishing a poem, but I had the opportunity to do so as part of my graduate work. I even made a little video for the piece! Here it is: the transgender archive as a science fiction poem
