Productive Silence

Silence is not a sign of disconnection or lack of engagement but rather an opportunity for growth and deeper understanding. Productive silence allows for reflection and introspection, leading to deeper insights and more meaningful contributions in group dynamics. To harness its power, we need to create an environment that values reflection, active listening, and open-mindedness. By doing so, we can tap into the collective intelligence of the group and create conversations that are more transformative and enriching.

Early Words and Dream Journaling

EarlyWords is a simple tool for daily, stream-of-consciousness journaling that can help you to establish a regular writing practice and reap the benefits of morning pages.

Sentient Justice

The Every 28 Hours Plays is a collection of micro-plays that address the topic of police violence and racism. As part of Calling Up Justice’s experiments with artificial intelligence and social justice we experimented with producing a script that was anti-racist. We also wanted to create something hopeful and we found this machine generated fantasy healing.

Unlocking the Potential of Your Voice: Embracing Vulnerability in Content Creation

Calling Up Justice is a company that is conducting an exciting project aimed at experimenting with accessibility and machine learning technology to increase empowerment for disabled creators. The project involved selecting a video or other writing source featuring disabled creators sharing their clever ideas for 1-3 minutes. Free platforms were then used to transcribe the video, which was subsequently fed into Chat GPT to produce an essay that authentically reflected the creators’ voices and ideas. With the help of Claudia Alick’s fine tuning data and prompts, the resulting essays were representative of the disabled creators’ perspectives. This project exemplifies how artificial intelligence technology can be leveraged to empower marginalized communities and create a more inclusive society, with minimal effort on the part of the creators. The following article was built off a tiktok video published by Jesenia.

The Colonialism and Capitalist Enclosures of the Metaverse

In conclusion, the power of naming and its impact on digital worlds cannot be ignored. By recognizing the impact of colonialism and capitalist enclosures on the term “metaverse,” we can understand the ways in which corporate forces use language to shape our understanding of technology. However, we must also acknowledge that the term “metaverse” has become widely adopted, and it is difficult to escape its usage. Rather, we should use the term with the knowledge that it represents limitless digital possibilities. By actively working to dismantle systems of oppression in digital spaces, we can create truly inclusive and equitable virtual worlds for all.

The Covid Cautious Tax

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives, from the way we work to the way we socialize. One issue that has emerged during this time is the idea of a “COVID cautious tax.” This term is related to the concept of a “disability tax,” where disabled people pay more for basic services because they have to add accessibility measures. In the same way, those who continue to be hypervigilant about COVID-19 take on a greater burden for society.
