We're hoping to organize a hopeful virtual event to get us to think our possible technological futures, and have a creative workshop. Stay tuned. In the mean time, read our Possible Futures Series. If you have thoughts on what you'd like to see from the event, comment below.

First post here! Takes me back to Twitter in the early days. Tempted to rant about what’s happening there since but just hoping for better here. Surely some brilliant digital sociologists are researching all this right now.
