My cartoons must be pretty sexy considering all the sexy bots that seem to be following me lately. Case in point … my latest cartoon for Techblog.NZ about the current NZ government’s lack of a coherent digital strategy. (Ooh! So hot! 😄)

I'm looking forward to being a guest speaker for this virtual class on Fighting the Broligarchy — along with many other amazing comrades. You can register now through Dark Times Academy, which is a great online education organisation out of New Zealand that runs courses about critical tech studies.
New classes from Dark Times Academy are here and we are so excited about this next group!

From understanding Silicon Valley oligarchs to resisting Christian nationalism to 'decomputing' these are about action, community and learning together.
