We talk endlessly about tech bosses but know surprisingly little about how their entrepreneurial mindset is formed. In this new article, I develop the concept of the entrepreneurial gaze to explain how early-stage entrepreneurs come to see and evaluate the world www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

patriarchal ideology runs so deep in our culture that it'd be a mistake to make this just a conversation about 'bad men'. it's about the domination and denial of bodily autonomy that structure daily life (also via transphobia, genocide, carcerality, labor exploitation, etc) and needs to end.

we're reproducing mini corporations in every one of us via a culture that does not want us to see each other as full human beings with agency but instead see us as capital sees us - as bodies to be optimized, exploited, conquered.

at a societal level we have so deeply normalized hegemonic masculinity. the aspirations to be "rational" and unfeeling. to be uncompromising. to give our bodies/ creativity to work above all else. to be 'autonomous', which in practice looks/feels like isolation and individualism.

for example, it’s easy to isolate the issue to fraternities as hubs of entitled, reckless masculinity - but what about tech companies? finance firms? even, leftist organizing spaces? patriarchal logic and power challenge bodily autonomy across all of these spaces - and abuse is prevalent.

re; the discourse around Cornell 7 - it would be nice if instances like this opened space for broader discussions about patriarchy and violation of bodily autonomy at a systemic level. beyond "educate your sons", "believe women" - how patriarchal violence is so nuanced and takes many forms.

My new blog post looks at how adult content shows up on Blacksky and the options we're considering to make it a more consensual experience. We'd love for every community member to read it, think it over, and share their perspective. Let's build a bridge between self-expression and consent together.

Your Body, Your Feed – Creating a bridge between consent and self-expression
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in discussion around how adult content currently shows up on our platform. By adult content, we mean content that is usually labeled as pornography, non-sexual nudity, or sexually suggestive content. Labeling adult content (both text- and image-based) is an example of how we empower community members to share more of themselves with folks, without creating a non-consensual experience for other members that do not wish to engage with adult content.  To solve this, we want to present you with options and invite you, as a member of our community, to decide how adult content shows up on Blacksky.

many so called “leftists” actively detract from base building efforts bc they have not unpacked their carceral tendencies and fight from a made up world of political purity rather than actually extending compassion/support in real-world struggles. this story is ridiculous but sadly so unsurprising.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

i hear you and do see how the protocol is recreating a lot of existing social apps. we started as a fork of Bluesky but we're not building a 'better Twitter' (or IG, TikTok, etc). our goal is to build actual tools for online connection, discussion, education, and organizing (some fun too ofc).

it's not lost on me how critical it is to be building community-driven social technology in this time, because there's a lot we need - more joy, more connection, more education, more agency, and more privacy. breaking out of the box of "social media" - what are the tools we need in these times?
