"Now that we’ve experienced a global pandemic and various Constitutional crises, maybe it’s time to put dystopian fiction behind us for a little while. This anthology of fiction and nonfiction asks sci-fi authors, including NK Jemisin, Charlie Jane Anders, Seattle’s own Nisi Shawl and many more, to write about their vision for “realistic, progressive social change,” from fixing climate change to envisioning a fairer, more inclusive society." 💜 💚 🧡

“[F]ocusing exclusively on technology in Israel’s committing of genocide in Gaza, or any war ..., could risk a major mistake: absolving the perpetrators’ responsibility for crimes they commit using technology.”

A favorite recent @globalvoices.org story: I love this article about telenovela cross-over and creative responses to digital authoritarianism, a collaboration between two of our contributors from different parts of the world able to analyze together the connections!
