@MediaActivist I'm noticing that, too. Every workshop and gathering has to be "in-person" now; like, what if I want to make connections across state/county/whatever lines but can't physically make or afford the drive/flight? Very inaccessible, no matter how much ADA compliance your site has.
What's stopping anyone (multiple someones) from filming/streaming on their phones? like, honestly.
I don't know how to describe this feeling...but, it's like everyone's taking the decentralization part too seriously in just the wrong way. Like, they're forgetting the internationalist part of it all:
We have to be present and aware of multiple communities in multiple places in the world, not just our own neighborhood, so that our efforts are better coordinated. literally "hybrid". The "usefulness of difference" as my dream-grandma Audre Lorde would say.
