Watching @drtanksley.bsky.social and Angela D. R. Smith present their work done with Saloni Sharma and @earlhuffjr.bsky.social (proudly taking pictures in the audience 🥹) at #CHI2025.

The desire to redirect & not add to carceral systems; power of resistance - love it!! 💖 Wonderful presentation! ✨️
Angela D.R. Smith stands at a presenting podium speaking with co-presenter Tiera Tanskley standing next to her. Co-author Earl Huff Jr. is in the audience in frame, taking a photo. The slide behind the presenters says "Despite being constructed as politically neutral, post-racial, and ungendered. AI works in ways that exacerbates racial violence, institutional harm and intersectional oppression for historically marginalized groups."

So proud of my mascot design for my research lab! It has been a while since I sat to make some art 💖

I came up with a sticker concept and @scott.fail surprised me with some printed in my mailbox. 🐢💎

We don't "move fast break things" - we move with care to (re)design tech spaces differently here 💝
A circular sticker sitting on top of a pink keyboard. The sticker features a teal sea turtle with a purple shell that has a pink crystal cluster growing from its back. The sea turtle has a silver helmet with wings and a heart gem. The turtle is swimming through a "data stream" with waves as well as binary floating past. The research lab "SPINEL" logo is above the turtle. The outer ring of the circle reads "move slow & (re)imagine things"

Logo for the RESPECT Conference. It depicts a connected letter R and C shape, with these figures outlined and incorporating a central line in them, giving the appearance of a two lane road with a centerline. The connection where the visual of the "C" begins has only the center line connecting the two shapes, creating a visual link between the two elements while not fully connecting them. "RESPECT Conference" is written underneath.

Collecting clothing in order to wear pretty yet impractical outfits while I explore the world with a talking cat constantly yelling at me to stay out of the deep water.
