I look forward to talking about corporate tech sustainability reports with the undergrads every semester, but it's really just this bizarre image from Google's 2024 and 2025 reports that haunts me.
Starting today, he haunts a whole new class of tech writing students.

Current concerns about AI’s adverse climate impacts are largely confined to operational energy and water use by data centers. While these impacts are important, they represent only a fraction of the ways in which AI can influence climate outcomes, write Felippa Amanta and Charlie Wilson.

AI, but for predicting the exact date and time you're going to get REALLY into Marconi Union

AI, but for telling you which jobs are going to require you to switch from Gmail to Outlook
Thank you, sweet Carolina! So grateful to be in this with you. xoxo
Thank you so much, Caddie!
Infrastructure gang for LIFE. Thanks, Dustin!
My first solo-authored article is up now in RSQ! This piece was a dream to work on. I'm so humbled by the generosity of the RSQ reviewers and editors, and even more sure that my crackerjack home team of friends + colleagues is the best in the game. Check it out! bit.ly/hhopkinsrsq

I think what Little Women was missing was a rug plot.
An ad for a rug. The text reads “I’m excited to introduce my newest collection with Ruggable. Enjoy war…” and then cuts off
Is the Instagram targeted ads team… okay?
In the end, maybe the undeletable Microsoft Word section breaks are the friends we made along the way
AI, but for predicting how often I’ll forget about the tea I just brewed (it’s every time, help)

AI, but for telling me which journal’s online reading interface will make me the most enraged
an artistic black and white illustration with decorative elements including octopus tentacles (with textured suction cups), hands, leaves, and flowers. In the center, there's text saying "it's here!" in purple/indigo text. At the bottom of the image is a black banner with white text reading "The Oracle for Transfeminist Technologies". The art style matches the oracle deck shown in the previous image, with similar botanical and tentacle motifs. Then there's an animation of the cards in the deck bouncing around the screen. The overall design has a symmetrical layout with the decorative elements framing the central announcement text. The illustration style is clean line art with detailed shading particularly visible in the leaves and tentacle textures.
This image shows a set of oracle or tarot-style cards and what appears to be an accompanying guidebook laid out on a wooden surface. The cards feature distinctive artistic designs in different colors: A pink card labeled "OBJECTS" Two identical purple cards labeled "VALUES" A red card labeled "SITUATIONS" A salmon/pink colored card that appears to be labeled "JOKER" A turquoise blue card labeled "TERRITORIES" There's also a white book or pamphlet titled "THE ORACLE FOR TRANSFEMINIST TECHNOLOGIES" with what appears to be a website listed below the title. The cards feature black artistic illustrations including botanical elements, tentacle or spiral motifs, crystals, and abstract designs. The artwork style is consistent across all cards, using bold black illustrations against their colored backgrounds. The cards appear to be part of a specialized oracle deck focused on technological and social themes. All of these items are photographed on what appears to be a light wooden table or surface with visible wood grain.
The Oracle for Transfeminist Technologies is back in stock!
A perfect gift for anyone interested in radical imagination, transfeminism, design, play, ecological futures, etc

I wasn't sure if anyone has done this yet, but I went ahead and created a starter pack for #TechCommSky for folks from #TechComm who are slowly but surely migrating to this space. It's not perfect or comprehensive. Please forgive me.
