Excited to listen to this one; I used to teach Turkle's scholarship on how computers and humans shape each other in grad school.

Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 3w ago

In one of the most important convos I’ve had this year, I talked with Sherry Turkle about how our interactions with AI platforms, simulated companions, and artificial personalities can reshape us, diminish our capacities, and alter our very conceptions of ourselves and what it means to be a person.

I so enjoyed talking about abolition and the movement lineages that have made this moment possible with Darakshan (Muslims for Just Futures) and @silkys13.bsky.social (@detentionwatchnetwork.org). I hope this helps.

I think it's wild when I get a marketing email from an athletic brand and they're like, "check it out, new colorways for fall!" I open it and they're literally all just slightly different shades of blue, beige, and gray. What are we doing here people.

What a treat to have @catachresis.bsky.social on the pod - publisher of @convergencemag.com , to talk about visions for a better internet, organizing beyond issues, and the recent Convergence Article about building a pro-Trans majority. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

“I think those are the main tactics at this moment: trying to stop the expansion of detention and getting communities and elected officials to do everything they can to stop sharing data with ICE, so that ICE doesn’t have the information or the ability to target more people.” — @silkys13.bsky.social

Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In my latest, I talk with @silkys13.bsky.social about the struggle against ICE. How are the government’s tactics shifting, and how must we respond? We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.

Joining these brilliant folks on Thursday!

Culture builds solidarity. And solidarity is what we need to fight against the narratives that divide our communities. Our final conversation in the #RaceAnd DemocracyIs: series will show you how to develop cultural strategies that transform public institutions with racial equity in mind.

A couple months ago @mayaschenwar.bsky.social shared the insight that @convergencemag.com has the makings of a cult brand. So I have been leaning into it with the creative direction for our team, and have been delighted to work with Rose @ Bread & Water Print Shop on our 2026 summer drive merch:

Really loved talking to Alexandra and Aiha about how worker disempowerment is accelerated by (not just caused by) AI. The research that the folks at @datasociety.bsky.social are doing is absolutely essential to understanding the political economy of Big Tech.

Data & Society@datasociety.bsky.social · 3mo ago

On the @convergencemag.com podcast, D&S's @cariatida.bsky.social & @aihathing.bsky.social talk about how AI adoption is hollowing out workers' rights and exacerbating inequalities — and how to build a future that prioritizes workers over the industry’s bottom line. convergencemag.com/podcast/ai-v...

The right built a #politicaleducation machine. Progressives are still running one-off workshops. That's why we're losing. My new piece in @convergencemag.com makes the case and maps out what a real political education ecosystem looks like. #Organizing convergencemag.com/articles/wit...

Without Political Education, Progressives Will Lose the War for Democracy

Democracy is under attack in our schools—but political education can equip us to defend it and build something stronger.

An old friend of mine recently wrote me to tell me how much he appreciates that I put him onto Boards of Canada like 20 years ago and honestly? Been in heavy rotation in my work playlist again lately because of it. Human recommendations rule.

I believe that building a pro-trans majorities are on the table if we communicate, mobilize, and organize towards them. Grateful to @convergencemag.com for publishing! convergencemag.com/articles/pro... #LGBTQ #Trans #SocialJustice #Organizing

If Solidarity Is Possible, So Is a Pro-Trans Majority

If a pro-trans majority is on the table, how might we cultivate it? By building majorities, practicing solidarity, contesting for governing power, and offering a vision.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

"We also need to address the dehumanization that persists in every single aspect of American life... that has sent us down the path in which Trump can threaten to annihilate a civilization & we find ourselves with few answers about how to stop it." @neginowl.bsky.social truthout.org/articles/tru...

Honestly, I need to be better about making fundraising appeals to social media. So here's me doing it this month. Just $5/mo helps ensure that we can continue to make movement media that people call "enjoyable, accessible, and essential" for facing our political moment.
