Two things:
1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who can’t, won’t, or don’t have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web
2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me

As more white American citizens fall victim to ICE, so much of the framing is that they "weren't even illegals!"

The tech industry radicalized me through assumptions of my skillset, hacker news opinion posts, Twitter pile ons, men at conferences realizing I was one of the only women and asking where the line was to have sex with me, tech swag that was literally women’s underwear, BDFLs being praised for their misogyny, conference talks celebrating the bro club, and all the men who asked why we were so “sensitive” about this stuff.
It was exhausting. Creating a space for marginalized people healed me.

2025-11-18 13:50:41 GMT

While my experience isn’t the same as this woman, I absolutely feel it. Everything is an uphill battle (and it’s worse if you’re multiply marginalized!) and every issue makes you feel like it is all your fault.
The tech industry has not made the kind of progress I had hoped when I started doing dei activism 15+ years ago.

It's curious that predictive algorithms are used for criminalization but not for the prevention of crime at the source.
Imagine being able to identify people who are likely to need food or rent assistance, but are unlikely to reach out for it. Or, understanding the environmental triggers that cause mental health crises, being able to get people the help they need beforehand.
But somehow there is never enough money for helping people, but always enough to lock them up. #PredictivePolicing #AI

I think the thing that kills me so much about the whole Rails thing is that the Rails community that *I* have experienced is full of people who seem to genuinely care about other people and the work they do. The community, aside from the obvious leadership issues and a few bad actors, really matured while I was actively a part of it. We demanded better inclusion and a lot of people really took that to heart.

Hello, new followers!
I was a programmer for 15 years before I started doing community activism and advocacy for marginalized people in tech. More recently I've been studying how tech impacts marginalized people, particularly police & govt surveillance.
I talk about surveillance, anti-capitalism, sociology, tech, public interest technology, and abolition. I love books, cats, and a good cup of tea.
Trying to find the joy in everyday life and make the world a better place. 🙆‍♀️ 💕

I have personally read all of these and can vouch for them. I have some ideas for other book lists, like books from specific continents, specific speculative fiction subgenres, nonfiction heists, intro to leftist politics, etc. If you have anything you want to see, let me know!
What are your favorite time travel stories?

What if, when you died, you had a chance to go back and change things? That's what happens over and over again to the main character in Replay. He changes the way he lives his life - even writing Star Wars from memory and beating George Lucas to the box office.
Deals with the myriad choices we make in life and how one change could alter the rest of your life.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawajuchi (https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/294134fb-8c78-40ec-be76-e674d13ad7f8)
Enter a coffee shop where sitting at a specific table allows you to time travel, but only to a time in the coffee shop's past. Just make sure you are back before your coffee gets cold! Great characters with emotional depth.

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu (https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/2b6f05f0-0745-45e0-a25c-69c6615c3cac)
One of my favorite books of all time, it follows a time machine repair person who is reading How To Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe as he travels through time. It does some amazing stuff with relating time traveling to verb tenses.
