Before Covid, online classes used to be this amazing gift of low pressure asynchronous lectures and assignments but now there’s actual normalized online class infrastructure that everyone wants to use so we gotta have a scheduled time to turn your webcam on so you can silently look at a PowerPoint

if you begin feminist history at #MeToo then it's easy to despair that nothing has changed (or that some things have actually gotten worse). if you take a much longer view though things have changed so much! the little gestures we make today are adding up to something we can't see yet!

I'm just real tired of hearing people claim that my position on trans rights is a purity test. You wouldn't say that about race. So what the hell. I have never said that people should not vote for Talarico. Never not once. Get a grip.

I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...

AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).

feeling this hard -- i am so glad that there is an actual conversation that's taking place around cornell, and that survivors coming forward isn't being dismissed as 'woke 1' or whatever the fuck. and it's also hard to ignore that we've been here before, in the recent past, and nothing changed.

This isn't to say things aren't bad, but for a marginalised community where poor mental health is rampant it's so so important that we accurately assess threats and focus our energy on the fights that matter.

The thing is, we have a solution for this called stores. You can go to the store to buy something and have it available immediately. If it isn’t in the store, then it's not in ready supply, so you’ll have to wait. Fact that Amazon obliterated this understanding blows my mind.

Right after the Eaton Fire, Ben reached out to let me know he talked to some folks he still knew at NBC to get me on the air. I was on MSNBC the next night. There was nothing in it for him, he just did it. One of the best people I know, and he deserves everything good he gets.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

So I actually hear some variation of this a lot, mostly revolving around “I don’t want people to make suppositions about me that lead to unpleasant comments or violence”. Here’s the thing. You’re afraid they’ll treat you like they treat us. It’s not as comforting as you seem to think.

I watched TNG's "Measure of a Man" and "Q Who". I love how TNG was able to write wonderful interiority into its one-off officers like Captain Phillipa Louvois and Ensign Sonya Gomez*, as if they were fully realized people who stepped into the episode and stepped out to continue their lives unseen.
