Tara TarakiyeeAudre Lorde's "master's tools" speech was not about tech platforms. So why does tech discourse keep citing it as if it were? I write about what happens when a Black feminist theorist's words get borrowed, stripped of context, and made to do work they were never meant to do.

allisonalso! while i'm here! the article says that vibe coding is okay when you're making "tools where you’re the only user, where the stakes are 'my task list doesn’t sync properly' rather than 'customer data got leaked.'" and i think it sucks to downplay the stakes of personal software like this! having a synced task list can be *extremely important* in specific circumstances. and settling for a mode of software dev (ie agentic ai) in which you shrug and say "sometimes it doesn't work" really sucks

picture the spectra of socially acceptable opinions as a meter on the wall. the middle part is deep green. the left and right edges fade up into more attention-getting colors.
there are two kinds of politics a person can hold. one is about making sure that the needle is always at deep green. the other is about making sure that specific conditions - enslavement, genocide, the destruction of our planet, the domination of human destiny by an aristocracy - never appear on that meter.

mhoyeWe really, really need to enshrine in law the idea that fines be proportional to the size of the entity being fined. Stop fining near-trillion-dollar companies in the millions and start fining them in percentages of their market cap. Fifty million dollars is shake out the couch money to these guys. Two percent of market cap and you're goddamn right they'll pay attention.
