Today is my partner’s birthday and I made this! Today is my partner’s birthday and I made this! Among many sad times of the pandemic was our little Covid kitten who passed away of a congenital heart condition at the age of 5 months. We have a special rock in the neighborhood to remember him - the Oz Rock. Whenever we walk by we touch the rock and say hello. So this is the magic Oz Rock and the majestic Oz kitten beaming up and down from his sky business.
I’m so honored to publish this new article co-wr I’m so honored to publish this new article co-written with Dr. Katlyn Turner and @space.enabled who are based at the @mitmedialab. It is called “The Abuse and Misogynoir Playbook” and details how the firing of #TimnitGebru from @google comes straight out of a centuries-old playbook used to try to silence Black women who speak truth to power. It was just published in the State of AI Ethics Report Jan 2021 by Montreal AI Ethics Institute. Beautiful diagram by @mqqt_

“In an ideal world there wouldn’t be feminicid “In an ideal world there wouldn’t be feminicide, let’s start from there. There wouldn’t even be a concept of such a thing as feminicide. But while there is, our aspiration is for there to be at least a minimum set of data that allows us to understand the situation of every country.” Read “5 Questions on Data and Feminicide with Silvana Fumega” at the #DataFeminism publication on Medium. @silvana_fumega is the research and policy director of the Latin American Open Data Initiative (@ildalatam) where she and her team have developed a much-needed standard for collecting and publishing data on femicides. . . . https://medium.com/data-feminism
“Inequality can be measured. Inequality isn't th “Inequality can be measured. Inequality isn't that I'm angry or complaining. Inequality isn't a feeling of mine. Inequality is something that exists, that we can see, that we can measure... . . Data helps us build arguments to debate this with more authority and reliability. They are also useful for us because if we want to transform our society, we have to diagnose the problems. The average unemployment rate in Argentina is 10%, and the unemployment rate for young women under the age of 29 is 20%. Why does this happen with women under the age of 29? Maybe it’s because they're at a childbearing age, and that makes them withdraw from the labor market; or maybe people don't want to hire them because they'll be absent. And that's important, because it allows us to think how we can improve the access conditions to the labor market for these women, or if there's sufficient provision of childcare.” Read the full interview with Mercedes D’Alessandro, @metxi0, co-creator of Economía Feminista, at the #DataFeminism publication on Medium today!

I’m thinking a lot about this quote from @adrien I’m thinking a lot about this quote from @adriennemareebrown right now in the context of participating in mutual aid work in my town. It’s really inspiring work and there is a lot of need and amazing folks participating. But there have been detractors who don’t want to give people cash when that’s what they request or who accuse us of falling into traps of people who are scamming us “pretending to be single mothers” or who want to make sure that people will spend money well. This is frustrating. I think if people say they need money then they need money. It’s nobody’s business what they need it for or how they will use it. The purpose of mutual aid is to trust the people to speak their needs and then try to meet those needs collectively.
