who out there is working on tools for {programming, digital creativity} in the pursuit of *liberatory* technology, as a reframing of concepts like usable/accessible/learnable? (see https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02003-2">https://www.nature.com/articles/... re: shifting power for an approximation of what i mean by liberatory)
or who is writing about this?
...should i write about this?
(how the terms usable, etc. can get co-opted by a desire to assimilate others into an existing technology rather than empowering them as co-creators)

to answer my own question, of course @GalaxyKate is crushing it at this https://twitter.com/GalaxyKate/status/1291810449898397697">https://twitter.com/GalaxyKat...

I compiled a list of resources related to the concept of "liberatory programming" based on everyone& #39;s responses (and some of my own recollection): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jWwsUDY9mHe97moysNv0PoYYfkzNPOjkKZN2hrL0Fcg/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/...

New addition: @ag_dubs in the RustConf 2020 opening talk, on the political nature of technology like programming languages & Rust& #39;s explicit goal to redistribute power ">https://youtu.be/IwPRu5Fhf...
Communities like Rust& #39;s today (and Twine& #39;s in the early 2010s) are so important to remember when we see homogenous white/cis/male CS communities and our colleagues throw up their hands because "the pipeline" clearly just doesn& #39;t have enough diversity in it
