A few things I was grateful for this month:
1) Sydette Harry’s AffectConf Talk
Finally! A talk at a tech conference by a black woman about *us* and how *we* survive and what *we* need.
2) Orphan Black
I realized I was a season behind so I raced through season 4 and am just rounding the corner on the final season. This show is amazing and its star Tatiana Maslany is the shit. No spoilers please!
This summer I co-founded CoLET: The Collective for Liberation, Ecology, and Technology. It’s a much-needed space for politically radical technologists. We finally got our website to a good place. I am excited to make a radical intervention in tech spaces and a tech intervention in radical spaces. Our time is SO now. Check it out when you get a moment!
4) Bookchin on Streetfighting with Nazis back in the day
I’m still on a Bookchin kick and someone in the social ecology community sent along this timely clip. Know your history, people!
5) Jazmine Sullivan’s piece on The Outline about chat as a lifeline for black women.
The piece is beautifully written and I love all the fancy animations and interactive Javascript they did.
6) In Flames radio show on NTS Live
These two women have gotten me through many a tough day and given me my whole life with their groovy, funky, punky selections on this monthly independent radio show brought to us live from the streets of London. I love you, Ruby and Josephine!!
