Suzy ✨ @suzylbooks.bsky.social · Aug 26

Time to reintroduce myself—I’m Suzy! I’m a grad student and internet scholar focusing on all things fandom related. folklore girlie but every now and then 1989 takes over my life. I love sewing, reading, nothing my cats, and writing fanfic (mostly Star Wars lmao) 💜🖤

A white woman with brown hair stands in front of a bookshelf smiling, she’s wearing a blue 1989 cardigan, green plaid dress, and brown glasses.

Chilling considering how Teen Vogue was one of the few sites with consistent coverage on progressive movements and coalition building

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 1d

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The PS1 startup sound as a lesbian @janus.bsky.social · 7d

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app

“I think they are a profoundly antisocial technology that should be rejected in every way possible,” said Gilliard. “Their very existence is toxic to the social fabric."

It’s still up in the air whether Meta’s gamble on glasses will pay off. Beyond their horrifying privacy implications, wearable AI-powered devices like Bee and Friend so far have proven more obnoxious than useful, and it’s unclear whether people who buy them will even want to use them. But one thing many privacy experts agree on is that even if we can’t change the law, we can change peoples’ attitudes around consent.

“One way to think about it is protecting your community and the people you care about,” said Gilliard.
“When you’re wearing these glasses, when you use your video
doorbell, when you record everyone’s conversations, you’re not just surveilling yourself. And there’s no consistent and foolproof way to guarantee that information won’t be used against people you care about — to hurt trans and queer people, or hurt immigrant communities. I wish people would think about it in those terms instead of ‘did my package get delivered.’”
