"I know firsthand the gulf between science’s supposed open-mindedness towards new #ideas and its attitude towards identities. #Science and #academia try to give an impression of sociopolitical neutrality and acceptance of queer* identities.. As a queer scientist, I know it isn’t true." +

"Science thinks it’s unbiased. Queer scientists know that’s not true. Being a queer scientist is an uphill battle for every inch." ⬇️

A #queering #lens interrupts unjust unchecked ossified #assumptions, disinformation, hegemonic binaries, and opens up new, #democratic, ways of seeing. Queering is a gerund verb, direct action, a liberatory praxis of solidarity and unpacking #structures made invisible by historical and contemporary #hegemony.

📌 On #Tradition, #Queering Official Memory, and The #Creative Process

In 1962, James Baldwin wrote in the essay "The Creative Process"

"When a tradition has been evolved, whatever the tradition is, the people, in general, will suppose it to have existed from before the beginning of #time and will be most unwilling and indeed unable to conceive of any changes in it."

Tech literacy should be a widely taught, ACCESSIBLE programme, and not taught by tech giants or colonial capitalist tech monsters. It should be taught by people who learnt it to break out of a programmable cage, and who question every part of it every day. #tech #literacy #queering #ecology
I'm learning programming because I'm fed up with the false reality the Internet is - you're playing in someone else's world, and that someone else is your oppressor. Ofc we can't be free building toy cannons in their little houses they've built for us on the web. #tech #literacy #queering #ecology #reality

#Queering is

📌 reading against the grain and hegemonic discourses,

📌 a choice to position at the interstices,

📌 a #politics of uncertainty, to democratize & decolonize everyday life, e.g., #healthcare, #medicine automation, and digital technologies such as #AI.

Queering interrupts unjust assumptions, disinformation, hegemonic binaries, and opens up new, democratic, ways of seeing.

📌 #Queer is a state of mind. Solidarity. Ways of seeing. Queer is post-body.
