@laurenfklein: In today's world, data is power. Data science needs intersectional feminism, which provides models to examine power, to challenge the matrix of domination that continues to oppress certain groups and not others #DataFeminism at @datasociety

@kanarinka: For example, María Salguero's #NiUnaMenos project amassed the largest public database for femicides in Mexico after the Mexican government refused to track these deaths. This is a form of feminist counter data.

Excited for tonight's talk at @datasociety by Dr. Charlton McIlwain (@cmcilwain) on his new book, "Black Software - The Internet and Racial Justice from the Afronet to Black Lives Matter". Gonna thread some tweets here.
@datasociety @cmcilwain Writing a history of black software was a scary thing to do, explains @cmcilwain - you can get lost in archives and never find your way out... which is a bad thing when you've got a book due. #databites
@datasociety @cmcilwain The starting point for @cmcilwain's book: #BlackLivesMatter . Success of this movement - the simple fact that people know what the movement stands and fights for is a testament to its power and visibility... last time we talked about these issues in depth in the US was the 1960s
