Je viens de faire mon #eXit! L’exode de X est massif. Ne perdez pas un seul de vos abonnés. Grâce à #OpenPortability j’ai inscrit 1724 nouveaux passagers pour partir vers #BlueSky & #Mastodon. Retrouvez automatiquement vos communautés le #20Janvier via openportability.org !

@timnitGebru sending you lots love! Thank you for you work. I am an avid follower.

@CLeLudec @AntonioCasilli Bravo à tous les trois pour l'article! On peut s'attendre à un article dans une revue scientifique sur cette question bientôt? Très hâte de vous lire.

Avec Maxime Cornet et @AntonioCasilli , nous sommes allés voir les travailleurs qui, depuis Madagascar produisent les données destinées à alimenter l'IA à la française

.@ystvns Congrats on your new job!!! So happy for you.

Terrific overview of Feminist AI by Sophie Toupin in New Media and Society. Covers the work of @feminist_ai and others. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117… #critcode

My new article is out and in open access. If you are curious about the historical and contemporary shaping of #feministAI this might be of interest #feminism #CriticalTurnInAI #ArtificialIntelligence journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

You took action to get Min @SeanFraserMP & NDP MPs @JennyKwanBC + @DesjarlaisBlake to agree to meet with undocumented leaders Make sure our leaders have the power of thousands with them. Together let's win #StatusForAll Add your name: StatusForAll.ca + ask 3 friends too

.@colonized_kat Thinking about opening an account on Mastodon to try out the fediverse? Much much better than Twitter! Here is a list of geographers on Mastodon for you :) lejun.codeberg.page/Mastodon-Geogr…

"Fugitive infrastructure in the fight against South African apartheid" New from Sophie Toupin of @Concordia tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…… #SouthAfrica #FugitiveInfrastructure

@PriyamvadaGopal The Mastodon community is eagerly waiting for you :) + you will inspire alot of people to transition if you decide to open an account!

We are seriously in the badlands now. Maybe staying here is too optimistic.

So it is true that Imani Perry's entire account got hijacked--after she wrote an article critical of Twitter? Wow. This is bananas.

As I slowly transition out of Twitter, you can find me here @stoopt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.lol/web/@stoopt

.@valtosensanna Hi! Sophie here. Let's meet for coffee tomorrow!

My article on fugitive infrastructure is out! It draws from the #BlackRadicalTradition in theory and praxis, and takes an anti-colonial lens to enrich the history of the Internet #AoIR2022 Ping me for a copy #fugitivity tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@TheWillTruth @smeurrens Rest of World (RofW) Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) model?!? #IRCC really needs to think deeper about the meaning of the terms they use, not to mention the in-house systems they build. Image from restofworld.org/about/

Internal briefings always tell us the most. I echo @smeurrens comments that though AA triage never 'recommend' a decision or refuse applicants, if this lands on an Officer's desk and they need to perform eligibility triage, it necessary implies they are tier 2/3 + refusable.

4 portraits are presented: Nina, Carole, Samira and Mohamed share their migratory paths, what led them to flee their country to come and live in Quebec, and the forms of violence, racism and sexism that they experience on a daily basis.#StatusForAll #TechActivism #OnlineActivism

La Gent L'ouverture is a conversational agent develop to learn more about the different situations that undocumented people in Quebec experience (In French). Talk to labdelta.ca/chatbot-1/chat… #StatusForAll #PapiersPourToutes #TechActivism #OnlineActivsm

By talking with La Gent L'ouverture, you are able to better understand the various situations of precariousness, violence, but also solidarity that undocumented people experience in Quebec.

In French, the name "gent" means "people", and L'ouverture means "open" (the borders) in addition to gesturing to Toussaint Louverture, a great figure of the Haitian people's liberation movement.

Dimanche 18 septembre à 14h descendez dans la rue pour demander la régularisation de toutes et tous! Et, entre temps, converser avec La Gent L’ouverture pour en apprendre davantage sur la réalité que vivent les sans-papiers. labdelta.ca/chatbot-1/chat… #StatusForAll #StatutpourToutes

Cet été encore, @lefollclement et moi-même avons publié, chez @Mediapart, une série consacrée au business de la surveillance aux frontières. Elle commence à Calais, où la surveillance technologique s'ajoute au harcèlement policier. mediapart.fr/journal/intern…
