@asociologist Latour's "Aramis, or the Love of Technology" is underappreciated. My students liked it because they were able to learn about social theory while reading a detective novel.

I wrote for @logicmagazine about what we might learn from the experiment Biosphere 2 about the possibilities of technologically assisted ecological reproduction and repair, thinking with @reproutopia, Shulamith Firestone, & my editor @bentarnoff logicmag.io/nature/a-repai…

An absolute must read on surveillance data and mobile tracking - extremely well written and accessible, not to mention alarming. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Before being allowed to step on the ice to help my son's team, I am required by the Ontario Hockey Federation to take "Understanding Discrimination Based Upon Gender Identity and Expression" 1/3

And, if 30,000 hockey coaches across Ontario can be required to sit through training about transphobia and intersectionality, then organizations have no excuse 3/3

As someone who grew up playing women's hockey and experienced homophobia and transphobia on/off the ice, I find the initiative encouraging 2/3

Trans Toronto, here's a real question: I need to find a local trans competent doctor. I'm still going through my healthcare from my other home base but I need to make the switch before too long. Anyone got any leads?
