So jazzed to be running around Seattle this week for @seattlein2025.org—the code switch between @fightforthefuture.org geekery+ Writers of Rohan geekery is gonna be like a strobe light.

I would like to nominate our bookstore at the #OregonCountryFair for a Cutest Ever Award. The best part: some handy book lovers decided to spend **days** making it look this good without our even asking, I just walked up and a butterfly shelf was going in!!

At @rightscon.org we had over 100 human rights and privacy experts participate in feedback sessions centered around these stories—showing how much those on the front lines think this is important, and want books & films to cheer for!

We literally had to go get more chairs—twice.

Then, @strangehorizons.bsky.social published our story contest winners with a special edition and a forward that continues to still my lil activist heart—and the RightsCon community? They got reading!

At Dweb Camp, we met in the forest and brainstormed with aligned techies & human rights folks.

At DragonCon, we held a special session with human rights experts and attendees to discuss the problems with surveillance tech in fiction—and launched our short story contest! We even did a lil zine.

This project literally took us around the world—from Dweb Camp in California to DragonCon in Atlanta to @rightscon.org in Taiwan with author @chrisrmuscato.bsky.social (pictured with iconic grin, sry not sry) — and on the way, we published stories from authors in Australia and Argentina, too!

I can't even begin to thank here all the people who pitched in to bring a durable resource for storytellers who don't want to stan technofascism to life. But I will pointedly thank Mai at Compost Mag + Dweb with all my heart.

And there is a dive on process: stopcopaganda.compost.digital/foreword/

For the past year, I've been working with dozens of my most admired humans on the planet to put some new thoughts to think with out in the world.

Storytellers, may I present the uncensorable, decentralized Stop Surveillance Tech Copaganda Toolkit: stopcopaganda.compost.digital

I'll rise and SHINE at 5 am on a Monday to stir the shit and call out a hypocrite.

@blumenthal.senate.gov's betraying the LGBTQ+ community with #KOSA and we aren't gonna let that slide. If you wanna throw down too + you're queer: actionnetwork.org/petitions/yo...

Spent my holiday weekend on bat husbandry. And digging holes.

NONPROFIT KILLER BILL IS BACK as section 112209 of the budget.

They announced this PM that it's being voted on TOMORROW (Tues) because they think we can't organize fast enough.

But we can.
CALL NOW: 319-313-7674

We can scare slimy Dems off this thing if we hit them like a tidal wave. We can win.

Just to be rude, posting my casual weekend girl dinner with #charlottemcconaghy #wilddarkshore while @bingewriting.bsky.social pines for a copy across the pond.

The Writers of Rohan shelf is officially over half full with @bingewriting.bsky.social’s latest finally arriving. What a team to be on!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The Spirited Away teahouse is the most epic setting ever to start in on a @lainitaylor.bsky.social.

Taiwan, I love you.

Hey #Rightscon2025, our Stop Copaganda zines and a stack of dragon stickers are now in the lobby! Come get some. 💛 @rightscon.org
February 26, 2025 at 2:39 AM
Total honor today to have human rights experts sitting on the floor in our packed-out StopCopaganda.org panel at @rightscon.org. So much energy around asking creators of fictional worlds for solidarity in their stories.

So far, Taipei is a fantastic adventure: great sessions at #RightsCon2025, hearing the VP of Taiwan talk like a digital rights campaigner + major platforming of activists from Palestine in the opening event, eating the most delicious food from kind people, and exploring gorgeous places. No notes!

Gearing up for some incredible sessions with the international human rights community on how to tell stories about centralized surveillance technology—facial recognition, license plate readers, data brokers—that don’t perpetuate law enforcement’s copaganda. #RightsCon2025
February 18, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Beyond honored by the author-finalists in the StopCopaganda.org project. Their stellar work was just published in @strangehorizons.bsky.social and now it's full steam ahead to creating a toolkit for a pro-privacy literary future in collab with the #RightsCon2025 community!
