Stefan BohacekHey everyone!
I'm looking for examples of what I'd refer to as "progressive tutorials". Coding or other tech-related tutorials that introduce progressive ideas and themes, without being overtly political.
Some of my own examples:
- my 2018 tutorial on making a Twitter bot that posts protest art: https://botwiki.org/resource/tutorial/random-image-tweet/
- a write-up on handling people hotlinking images from your site showing how to serve BLM poster instead: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-prevent-image-hotlinking/
- a recent data visualization tutorial I wrote that talks about the importance of worker movements: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/introduction-to-apache-echarts/
Thinking about putting together a blog post about this approach and I'd like to link to a few good examples.
chris martens@stefan can you elaborate a bit on “without being overtly political”?
@chrisamaphone Great question!
I guess you can look at my own examples I shared. Or here's another one: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/exploring-the-mapping-police-violence-dataset/
I am trying to bring attention to the problem of police violence without using phrases like ACAB, FTP, etc.
Is this too centrist? I don't know. I would definitely read a coding blog that is even more leftist, it's just not what I had in mind for myself.
Thanks everyone for sharing and responding! I elaborated on the idea in a blog post.

@nebkor That's heavy. Thank you for sharing!
