I was asked to put together a list of what I’m reading, what others have been sharing with me, what’s inspiring me. Daily I find I manage to follow a bagillion rabbit trails and am always seeking to discover connections between them. I will be sharing in this document the links that are truly articulating something which is inspiring and resonating with me.
Travel
It’s hard to believe I from Seattle in Austin, Texas on August 8, 2019 and now I’ve almost been here for two weeks. In a way it feels like so much has happened and so little at the same time. The story of how my partner and I ended up in Austin is long and short.
Learning, Social Media
Today, data and algorithms have influence over everything from our democracy, to our homes, to our work. We are in an era of seemingly unlimited technological progress and the speed of innovation requires citizens to be engaged in non-partisan learning and discussion. We don’t have to know everything but we need to know enough to think critically and ask questions about the technologies being developed, as well as be able to hold accountable the individuals and organizations creating them.
