DataBasic.io is 10 years old! Our self-service activities and tools for data literacy helped launch me down the road to my "Community Data" book, and was one of my first projects with @kanarinka.bsky.social. Happy to report the site is working again, and the two of us still collaborate.

On Instagram, anarchist activist and trans justice lawyer Dean Spade suggests that one way people can deal with their feelings about the transphobic meltdown is by writing letters to trans prisoners. More details on how to here: www.instagram.com/p/DOLzj4mjpA...

as a historian of crime, things i wish were more mainstream about “crime is down but concerns about crime are up”

1.crime rates are irredeemably inaccurate. argue all you like about this/that but statistics have always had more to do with policing and reporting than any underlying “crime rate” 🗃️

Thanks, friend! And welcome (?!) back.

Here is that demo video, specifically focused on Los Angeles. This is the context in which GeoSpy is demoing its technology www.404media.co/lapd-eyes-ge...

Me too! We’re even closer now!

It is so lovely!

<3 Birds of a feather, my friend! <3

I wrote a multi-page rhyming couplet poem about how Santa Claus is a fascist and the reindeer & elves were due for an Attica-style uprising to assert their rights and work for freedom. I gave it to my mother as an xmas present.

My condolences to your family in this time of great loss.

I'm very far from the Bay but very close to a laptop at all times! Will this be streamed?

@drnikko.bsky.social and I have a piece in here on cooperative structures- discount code for 30% off too!!

I was JUST thinking about the Kinect yesterday. It had so much potential 😂

Yay! DM'd!

Legacy media is dying. They have no editorial independence anymore, they are beholden to billionaires who are buying out all the outlets and controlling me message.

Support independent journalists, y'all. We're out here doing the work and breaking the news.
