“This book project introduces a concept I entitle ‘digital enchantment’: a framework that explores how diverse queer and trans users subvert and expand traditional approaches of privacy by creatively exploiting the features of mainstream technologies and creating their own platforms,” the description reads.
“Prevailing counter-surveillance strategies uncritically celebrate visibility and representation while positioning privacy as an individual right rooted in concealing information,” it continues. “Drawing on San Francisco case studies including drag queens, trans taxi drivers, cruising gay men, and femme witches, I look to LGBTQ+ histories that complicate these assumptions. Digital enchantment describes the hyper-visible glamour, mischievousness, and mystical intuition that many queer/trans subjects employ to playfully dazzle both the human senses and computational sensors.”
Kornstein is an assistant professor at the University of Arizona.

OPINION: Sarah Jane Comrie made an active choice to behave the way she did on May 12, and that is what we should be discussing, not the Citi Bike.
A true George Floyd moment for the 'writer' of this 'article.'
should note that as I write this, my name is being spread across the side of Twitter that has decided that Sarah Jane Comrie is in the right. They have spread a rumor that I doxxed her (I didn’t), and they are actively soliciting people to dox me and my family members.
OH LOOK A PERPETUAL VICTIM. Amazing how they show their true colors within a few paragraphs.
You can just message the people in involved in the study and they will send it to you for free FYI.
Alton Mills, 54, a former crack cocaine dealer whose life sentence was commuted by Obama in 2015 has now been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting a woman in a Chicago expressway.
Mills was charged with three different attempted murder charges after he allegedly shot a woman passenger in a car traveling on the I-57 on-ramp in Illinois.
Multiple shots were fired into the victim’s vehicle from the suspect’s vehicle, striking the back seat passenger, according to police. That person was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.
After he was commuted by Obama, Mills took a trip to the Capitol and was treated like a celebrity
Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren even wrote a long paragraph celebrating his release and touted him as a non-violent criminal.
Why can't we hold them accountable for his actions? Why are politicians allowed to endanger our lives with no liability?
Can’t believe he is still pushing the hysteria
I can. It seems like a lot of people here don't understand how the medical industry works.
If you speak out or don't push the narrative then the true masters of the medical industry, the pharma industry, destroy you. Other doctors will help them destroy you without a second thought.
They are not a free thinking body. They are essentially a union, you can't go out of line or your license gets revoked and you get silenced / attacked by other doctors.
This is the medical industry that operates today. Adams is likely given a list of talking points to adhere to publicly in order to maintain his good standing in the medical community and is the only way he can continue to get those sweet, sweet kickbacks from the feds and pharma.
Chungus-Li?
Over the past few months, landlords in a number of cities have taken legal action against Twitter. London, New York, and San Francisco property owners have all filed complaints against the social media company for nonpayment of rent.
This is actually a fascinating strategy. Locating your HQ in cities that desperately need to hold onto businesses while refusing rent until they improve.
I genuinely don't know how this will turn out, although he has some balls on him to try this. One of the more aggressive ways to fuck with a Dem city I have seen so far.
And this is just for the lockdowns, it doesn't even account for the poison distributed under the guise of medicine.
We may be living through the single most damaging incident in all of human history.

Fat white woman.
Just a reminder this guy got in his car and hunted this kid down simply for disagreeing with him politically.
HUNTED HIM DOWN. When he found him the boy was crying to his Mother on the phone telling her someone was HUNTING HIM DOWN.
Also:
Foster County State Attorney Kara Brinster's decision to reduce the charges was not part of a plea deal, and Brandt is still expected to appear in court for trial beginning May 30.

Here is her contact information if you want to ask why she's allowing political violence against children.
Yes, this is a separate incident. The first time Biden killed 3 adults and 7 children by 'mistake' and they didn't announce the correction for months.
I actually think it is all based on a book, but I've never read hte book.
Skip Philadelphia and go straight to Joe vs the Volcano.
A 1990 film that is somewhat of a remake of a classic Japanese film, Ikiru.
Actually just watch Ikiru. It is far, far better than anything Hanks has done in his career.
We aren't setting anything up, this is the rapid acceleration of the destruction of the Government.
When they poke enough holes they'll use the collapse as an excuse to 'change' everything that denies them power.
Yep, that is the one. Not a fantastic film but much, much better than the remake.
“We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation,” CFO Christine McCarthy said. At the time, no details were provided on the content that would be removed.
"Align with the strategic changes" is a fun way of saying "we're removing the dogshit".
Watch the original. This is a bad remake, the original is much better.
Not great, but a lot better than this shit.
The move by U.S. officials comes after the slain man’s family and others who knew him claimed that the father of 10, a former bricklayer, had no ties to terrorism and was tending to his sheep when he was hit by a Hellfire missile in Syria.
U.S. officials claimed shortly after the strike that the Predator drone had taken out a “senior Al Qaeda leader” — even though they did not provide proof or name the suspect.
The Washington Post reported that 56-year-old Lotfi Hassan Misto was the person killed in the strike.
“We are no longer confident we killed a senior AQ official,” a U.S. official told the Post.
Another U.S. official added, “though we believe the strike did not kill the original target, we believe the person to be al-Qaeda.”
Wow, this is the closest thing I've seen to 'life is a satire of itself' in action.
A hellfire missile onto a single guy tending to his sheep with zero ties to anything...and they even decided to just lie and pretend he was someone important?
Why are they so inept? It is a fucking SHEEP HERDER. It isn't like he was near the target and collateral damage, they picked him out, aimed for him and threw millions of dollars of hardware to kill him and his sheep.
That isn't entirely true. Opiate withdrawal is deadly for a decent percentage of people, especially those who use it to deal with chronic pain. The withdrawal combined with the pain coming back is too much for their bodies if they are in poor health or elderly.
Legally you are required to wean them off or switch to a less powerful opiate and gradually decrease the dosage to avoid those deaths.
"I'm a loving schoolteacher."
This guy fucks kids. Guaranteed.
They have no problem doing that with opiates, which are far, far more addictive.
In fact they shut off peoples opiates constantly without any 'weaning' required.
Thank fuck for that. I probably should have read more of it but after reading the other article I assumed it was just "Puff Piece Pete" day.
The man’s mind is a cathedral, and I, a mere congregant, have been invited into its inner sanctum.

This might be the most depressing cult-like article I have ever seen. Why do they worship fags who are awful at their jobs?
EDIT:
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS LINE:
Buttigieg, who is white but makes up for it by being gay,
An exception was made for transgender minors who were already receiving care before June 1, 2023. However, the bill said those children "shall wean off" any drugs prescribed for the purposes of gender-affirming care. The bill does not specify how long patients would have to stop taking the drugs, only that it should be done "over a period of time and in a manner that is safe and medically appropriate and that minimizes the risk of complications."
Eh, that isn't wonderful. Why weasel out of your decision in the details.
"Culture features writer" = dumb cunt with no education or knowledge. Why are opinion writers always such trash?
