Kate Manne, a philosopher at Cornell University, describes misogyny as an ideology that serves, ultimately, to reinforce a patriarchal status quo. “Misogyny is the law-enforcement branch of patriarchy,”

It's not showing up on Elizabeth Warren's site yet, but Axios is reporting that Warren is suspending her presidential campaign. I'm heartbroken -- she was the smart, tough candidate that actually inspired me.

Senator Warren: Thank you for your leadership, your humility, your willingness to hold those in power accountable. You would have been an incredible president. Keep fighting for Americans and for what America should stand for.

#supertuesday Get out and #vote!

The powers that be want us apathetic, or alternatively too cognitively and emotionally overwhelmed to get engaged. I'm struggling with this myself, and with Arizona was voting today.

Personally I support Elizabeth Warren. She's smart, tough, and terrifies #oldwhitemen. All of which I can get behind.

Article: "Tech was supposed to fix X"

Narrator: "Tech made X far far worse"

"Tech" practices problem-space-reduction to reach MVP, reducing messy, complex, human situations to linear engineering problems, optimized for what "works in most cases" where "most cases" is bounded by systemic and institutional bias (including systemic racism).

Systemic bias is an inseparable part of organizational culture, the common pattern of thinking that goes with it, and the premises by which all human systems function. Therefore each of us has a systemic bias. However, we may be unaware of its unstated assumptions. compression institute, 2011

Hence, "Tech" makes many things far, far worse.

For the most part I appreciate the design decision that the #mastodon developers made to not show reply/boost/fave numbers on the feed lists, because it puts more focus on the content and less on gaming an algorithm for popularity or "engagement".

but I also realize that this makes it harder to know if there are responses! For example, this post by Jun on #playviscious actually has an interesting thread that I'm learning from, but nothing in the UI signifies that there is more content to find connected to the post.

I wonder if there could be an additional affordance in the #UI that there are replies (boosts and faves not so much)?

My response to agreeing with something online should be "say so and amplify it", not "say something clever and self-centering #amplifytruth
