We often describe #civictech as the intersection of technology and public life, but what about the role of tech in our ~private~ lives?
TONIGHT at 7pm ET, @internetmaggie will share research into the algorithmic effects of Pornhub's Insights program.

Sometimes I'm working so fast on multiple things I barely register what I'm doing. But I revisited my @CivicTechTO talk from January, and you know what? It's pretty cool if I do say so myself! Really open to doing more of this! youtube.com/watch?v=CZhaYRP6…

Something I have heard from grassroots organizers is (and have experienced myself) is it can be hard to stay organized while under-resourced.
