Remember “Move fast and break things”?
It built Silicon Valley and now it’s breaking everything else.

In my new #CodeAndConscience issue, I talk about why our culture of reckless innovation needs to shift and how we can build with conscience, not chaos.

The recent #TexasFloods were catastrophic. Meteorologists predicted the storms, but too many folks didn’t get an alert.

The problem wasn’t the tech; it was #DOGE, the overreliance on #AI, & #layoffs of human staff.

Meta made a Black queer mom named Liz. She’s not real. And not a single one of her creators is Black.

In #CodeAndConscience 8️⃣, I unmask digital Blackface as racism hiding behind code, allowing companies to profit off Blackness w/ none of the consequences.

When folks say “tech is neutral,” what they really mean is “I’m not ready to talk about who’s being harmed, who’s being helped, and who’s pulling the levers.”

I talk the myth of tech’s neutrality, share some personal news & really good book recs.
