"So even these kind of failed Utopian visions, the failure to imagine something that’s really different also succeeds, because they function as critical tools." - Kathi Weeks via @zarinahagnew

If I've mentioned #scuttlebutt to you I recommend watching this talk by @andrestaltz . A bonus of retweeting this is that the threaded comments by @dan_mi_sun offer another good example of the reflective sociotechnical considerations that got me interested in the first place.
