Thinking about stuff on iPhone that annoys me, and I really wish there was a way to queue audio from different apps.
Example: after this YouTube video ends, play this podcast, and then play this playlist in my preferred music app

And I will show you something different from either
Your sourdough at morning fermenting behind you
Or your sourdough at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of crust .”

This is why we don’t look to the most powerful people in marginalized groups. While they are working on fitting in, their actions often reinforce the center that keeps everyone else out.
Important note for reporters covering the GOP's effort to ban trans women from bathrooms on Capitol Hill: while Sarah McBride and Nancy Mace both have private bathrooms in their offices, the trans people who are not elected officials who have to work there every day do not.

“The notion of ethical surveillance, in other words, may serve as a mirage that drives scholars and policymakers continually forward in search of better technological formations while postponing a true reckoning with the logics of domination infusing all surveillance encounters.”

Happy to see this chapter slated for publication later this year in The Handbook of Communication Ethics. I’ve made a preprint draft available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
