Beyond the pages and projects, what we’ve shared with Leopoldina is trust, friendship, and a sense of belonging in something larger than ourselves. We are deeply grateful for all she has brought into our lives.

For me, it’s been a privilege to lend support in small ways, but the real joy has been witnessing their collaboration — the conversations, the breakthroughs, the sheer energy of two brilliant minds in dialogue.

Tonight I’m reflecting on what an incredible presence Leopoldina Fortunati has been in our lives for the past 12 years. Nearly every week, she has been a steady collaborator and writing partner with Autumn, and together they’ve built a body of work rooted in creativity, rigor, and vision.

Read the latest from Cait Lackey and @zizip.bsky.social.

"we advocate for replacing ex machina mentalities with richer understandings of the more-than-human world formed by interconnected and integrated human, human-made, and nonhuman conscious machines, not superior or inferior but each unique."

Folks, YOU MUST USE THE MICROPHONE. Even if you're responding to Q+A. Chairs, you MUST repeat questions into the microphone please. This is an accessibility issue. It is in the instructions too. #ica25

As an #hmc community, we need to be thinking about how to support our friends and colleagues who are nervous to travel to the US and ways to support them if they don’t feel safe doing so.
