I was just informed that it is Baby Yoda’s birth I was just informed that it is Baby Yoda’s birthday today, hence the fabulous outfit. And - fun fact - Baby Yoda evidently has a birthday once a week.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I had the honor of meetin 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I had the honor of meeting the brilliant @tressiemcphd yesterday after her talk for @mitlibraries along with friends @space.enabled and Dr Katlyn Turner. Still glowing and reflecting on all her thoughts on book bans, “wokeness”, “cancel culture”, strategic public underfunding, and the role that libraries have to play in democracy
Happy Ester!!! Happy Ester!!!
CALL FOR PANELISTS - Data De-Invisibilization: Vis CALL FOR PANELISTS - Data De-Invisibilization: Visualizing the Dark Matter of Networks. . . This is for a panel at 4S that I'm co-organizing with the amazing @kimfalbrecht Nicole Martin of @indigenouswomenrising & Matthew Battles of @ArnoldiaMag . . DEADLINE - Apr 14th LINK IN BIO (c'mon IG, ever gonna let us hyperlink?) . . Accepted Languages: English/Inglés/Inglês, Spanish/Español/Espanhol This panel invites projects at the intersection of data visualization and power. This might mean projects predicated on a politic of visibility, such as feminicide data activists using maps and graphics as “affect amplifiers” for gender violence (Suárez Val 2022), or work that challenges visual metaphors as hegemonic (Haraway 1989). Data visualization helps construct the neoliberal consensus through which data are conceived, operationalized, and consumed. Many of us inherit Enlightenment sensibilities that privilege vision and ignore relation. How do we acknowledge effacements, silences, and invisibilities across network and data imaginaries, and render data in terms of reunion, recuperation, and reconfiguration? Under such conditions, it’s crucial to acknowledge that “all data are local” (Loukissas 2019), that gender binaries contort data in ways that lead to injustice and invisibility (D’Ignazio and Klein 2020), and that Indigenous, queer, feminist and Black communities are developing counter-hegemonic uses of data grounded in care and relation (Carroll, Rodriguez-Lonebear, and Martinez 2019). Invited investigators are asked to contribute either 1) Empirically, for example, with a case study of counter-hegemonic visualizations; or 2) Speculatively and creatively, with projects that expand possibilities for addressing visualization and power. Projects in either category may engage technological metaphors in relation to living communities; make use of critical design practices to submit normative forms of knowledge to scrutiny; strive to render hidden systems and relations visible, while honoring the silences and invisibilities that structure networked social life.
Thank you @emgenia! I am so honored to receive a C Thank you @emgenia! I am so honored to receive a Cultural Emergency Response Kit. Here it is with some of the beautiful healing goodies inside. . . I'm still carrying forward the words that @emgenia spoke at our @mitdusp class last Spring: “How do we identify those ways of thinking and acting within our culture that create emergencies and cause harm? Some of them that I've identified are toxic individuality; thinking of ourselves as separate from the natural world and separate from others; hierarchical and binary thinking; authoritarianism; misogyny and toxic masculinity; short-term thinking; idealizing greed and consumerism; violence as a tool; coercion through brute force and fear of dispossession, which is at the heart of the power structures of our country; Western cultural supremacy and forced assimilation into this way of thinking. And going along with that is a historical amnesia which is harmful to us; cultural appropriation; the wastefulness and squandering of energy, resources and labor; and the undervaluing of youth, elders, and the extended family.” . . May we start responding to these interconnected emergencies together and with the kind of love and beauty and healing found in this kit. #culturalemergencyresponse

Happy Indigenous People's Day! I'm proud to have Happy Indigenous People's Day! I'm proud to have worked on this story about Columbus monuments and commemorations together with journalists @washingtonpost and members of the Data + Feminism Lab including @wonyoung.so The story of Columbus commemoration is a story of persistent erasure and exclusion which has also been persistently challenged by Black and Indigenous people since at least the 1800s. While monuments are coming down, many remain and more than 6000 places in the U.S. bear his name, including our capital: District of Columbia. Check the homepage of the Washington Post to see the story and interactive maps.

“Going Viral” is an opportunity to think with “Going Viral” is an opportunity to think with the logics and lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic about the ways that intimacy, mobility, information, body, nation, gender, and sexuality are imbricated through viruses, and other transmittable forms. Is the virus airborne? The constantly shifting data on how the Coronavirus spreads has reconfigured breath and other normative bodily habitations, from mask-wearing and hand sanitizing, to elbow-taps and grocery wiping. Through what fluids is the virus transmitted? Covid-19 has required reconsiderations of physical intimacy, with cities even publishing sex guides. The governance of intimacy is all too familiar to people considered “at risk” of HIV infection: queer and trans people, sex workers, migrants, and drug users. Does the virus know gender? Computer viruses named Melissa and ILOVEYOU signal how gender, intimacy, and affect become vectors for digital migrations. But along with viruses travel techniques of care and survival that are distinctly gendered; consider the recurring report that nations with women leaders handled pandemic response better. Is racism the virus? Racist attacks have targeted Asian people, casting them as originators and spreaders of Covid-19. HIV, Ebola, H1N1, and Avian Flu have each been attached to particular racialized populations in ways that cast suspicion on their sexual and intimate proximities with humans and other animals. Further, reports of higher infection rates amongst Black and Latinx populations pulled the veil back on unequal structures of labor, housing, and access to medical care. The current pandemic is an accumulation of many viral histories. This panel invites scholars to draw form their original research to explore the traffic in viral discourse and the pathways of transmission—of data, bodies, feelings, ideology—through feminist, queer, and trans lenses.
