I would love that!!!! It will be a few years before it's out in the world, but hopefully we can chat then!

thank you so much!

thank you for everything, Kate! I'm so glad you are part of the Platform Hygiene journey!!!

Publishers Marketplace Deal Report Announcement for Platform Hygiene

very cool and exciting news: my debut book, PLATFORM HYGIENE, is now under contract with @dukepress.bsky.social!

My takeaway from the BAFTA incident is that those in charge of that broadcast at the BBC don't give a damn about any of us -- Black folks, disabled folks, folks who are both, the public.

Now we're on a third day of racist and ableist discourse.

Structural racism and ableism operating in tandem. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤬

thanks for thinking of me!!!

Remembering Fobazi Ettarh‬ by reading her brilliant work. I read about vocational awe in my last year of library school & she provided the vocabulary I needed to describe some of my observations & experiences as a BIPOC worker. She will be missed. www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2018/vocatio...

Journalism schools need to desperately hire more freelancers as lecturers to teach students how to make money, including gig comms work, while reporting on this side.

I've had this thought for a while, but especially as a paper of record gets decimated.

OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

We're not nostalgic for 2016 — we're nostalgic for the internet before all the slop | TechCrunch At the time, people felt like 2016 was cursed -- but at least we did not yet have a word for "doomscrolling."

"But for people who were children in 2016, the year still holds a certain mystique. Google worked well. It was relatively easy to spot deepfakes. Teachers didn’t have to funnel all of their limited resources into determining if a student copy-pasted their homework from ChatGPT."

I don't want to listen to anyone who has no idea what cancon means (respectfully)

i feel like american academics don't need to write half-baked heated rivalry articles. let the canadians have this one, please

Admittedly I'm a bad movie watcher, so I can't speak to specific texts. but this feels like the recycling of a popular trope about how autistic kids and young people are often portrayed in film and tv!

The reviews went out from our biggest conference in my field #ica26

Partial (AI) reviews are now a real problem. As a community we need to address this and work on standards.

No one deserves AI slop as reviews.
