I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

Sometimes you're reading a book and they remind you of profound things they've shared. Shout-out to Matt Dinniman; this was a timely callback.

Blacksky is open source. I’ve literally given the code away. You could take it and run your own version today.
I’ve heard of at least one person that took the code and made it work for their purposes.
People even use the logo I made.
You could say its not Black owned because it’s not even owned.

In the Malheur National Forest in Michigan there is a single fungus that stretches nearly four square miles underground with a combined weight of around 35000 tons and an estimated lifespan of around 8500 years. It's the oldest of five humongous funguses within the forest, each genetically distinct.

Everyone remembers GamerGate, too few people remember “#YourSlipIsShowing,” the campaign led by Black women to call out pre-alt-right trolls masquerading as marginalized people and stirring up hoax campaigns to make SJWs look bad, which led directly into GG. slate.com/technology/2...

"Digital blackface does not describe intent, but an act — the act of inhabiting a black persona. Employing digital technology to co-opt a perceived cache or black cool, too, involves playacting blackness in a minstrel-like tradition."
don't know what that is? it's a term that originated in the mid aughts so you should!
if you don't it's time to start learning more about the so called micro aggressions that black and brown people endure.
a good place to start on this issue is this article:
