Mandatory listening for any/all folks interested in cultural histories of continental philosophy and why those freaky French theorists write the way they do. Bravo Jessica !!! 👏👏👏

PSA, you should read this brilliant piece by Thao Phan

Important paper by Georgia van Toorn; 'Disablism, racism and the spectre of eugenics in digital welfare' journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14… - biometrics aren't just a threat in relation to privacy but because, as highlighted in the paper, welfare-tech & eugenics are inseparable.

A little piece from me on how paranoid whiteness haunts reactionary attitudes towards generative AI images.

Shout out to Fabian Offert and Jathan Sadowski for helping to clarify these ideas

And big thanks to Australian Academy of the Humanities for the invitation!
