I co-own a software studio, @tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.
Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)
I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.
I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.
I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.
I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.
I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.
Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.
Do say hello! 👋

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/115810523139425356
Have you seen the EFF 35 year anniversary cityscape design?
It's got tons of trees, it's got rail, it's got solar panels and a windmill, it's got a rooftop greenhouse and a fountain. It's got a flying bicycle!
What's it not got? Any cars!
It's amazing!
And you can get it on a T-shirt now, if you support EFF's important work against the fascist takeover.
I just wish @eff would add some info on how their clothing is produced.
Chinese Cooking Demystified is one of my fave food media folks, but in this post they also have #urbanism related content. Tired of all the glossy drone videos showing Chinese cities as a dystopian neon future, their post shows the different realities of life in Chinese cities

PhD Fellowship in Urban Morphology, Accessibility and Mobility Cultures
A PhD where I really think someone with disabilities that affect their mobility should apply. Unfortunately, bullshit like "ability to...handle a heavy workload" means it'll probably be abled urbanists doing things disabled people should be doing.

my friend made an amazing video game with beautiful comic illustration about the housing shortage in amsterdam

As a native of NYC during the bad old days, I well understand that our social experiments with public housing in the US have ended almost entirely in disaster, and that is precisely because those developments were built with efficiency as the only goal, not human dignity and community.
This does not mean we should not build apartment buildings, it means we need to build apartment buildings with human dignity and community as our foremost concerns. #urbanism #architecture #design #housing
