Five questions for risk assessment A risk assessment, or threat model, helps you identity your digital assets and create a plan to keep them safe. Knowing what you're facing is key to ensuring you have the appropriate safeguards in place. Risk assessments change depending on your context, which makes them a great place to start when working on a new story. Start here • Ask yourself these five questions (remix to suit your needs): • Assets: What am I protecting? • Adversaries: Who am I protecting my assets from? • Adversary's assets: What might they be capable of? • Likelihood: How big of a risk is this to me now, based on who I am in the world? • Your resources: What can I do to protect myself?

the only opsec thoughts I will share on the timeline are: everyone’s needs vary because people face different risks. feel free to ignore anyone telling you there’s only one way, and take a little time to threat model your own situation. more here: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

Coco Fusco Turns Back the Ethnographic Gaze In her first US retrospective, she becomes museum specimen, interrogator, colonial queen, and more to expose the systems that produce them.

“Fusco has traced what happens when ideology isolates, when nations and individuals retreat behind physical and political borders. Yet the exhibition suggests that to ‘become an island’ may also be to claim autonomy, to inhabit the structures of power without surrendering to them.”

Really excited to share with you the first of a four-part series I wrote for HiLoBrow.

About two years ago, I started noticing that certain places made me feel deeply uneasy for no real reason.

Eventually, I gave these places a name: The Devoid, a new kind of gothic for the 21st century.
