Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK.

Many people don’t recognize the spiritual evilness of valuing money & property over the life of another human being. They think they’re simply practicing “civility.”

I'm proud to work at Ad Hoc Team, where our founders Greg Gershman & Paul Smith publicly denounce police violence and the white supremacy which our systems were built upon. To live our values, we must speak up and work for change. #BlackLivesMatter

Struggling with living in the tangled layers of broken systems. I have the privilege to use them to buy some people some stability... it's something, and nowhere near enough.

Thinking a lot about Uma Thurman's seething energy in an interview on being too angry to talk about a topic, and waiting until she was less angry to do so.

I finally identify as a technologist who actively resents most technology in my life. There's like a badge or club for that, right?

i’m glad Teju Ravilochan’s piece on how maslow got it wrong is making the rounds because more people get to learn about the Blackfoot tipi of cultural perpetuity. welcome to the next step in your journey decolonizing how we think about human flourishing! gatherfor.medium.com/maslow-got-it-…

Five researchers presented at today’s Ad Hoc Team company all-hands, and the backchannel responses included “why are all researchers such great people” and “research is punk rock.” 💖 I’m so proud of this excellent team – and we’re hiring adhocteam.us/join/

In recent years, I’ve been drawn to events & communities where learning and connections make space for heart as well as brain – many thanks to today’s HmntyCntrd #CriticalUX organizers and speakers for bringing love to both.

Hello, #cfasummit friends! I’m not doing indoor events, but am in the area – please say hi if there’s an outdoor happy hour or lunch or such where I can give you a hug!
