"Wielded well, the master’s tools can maybe be used to smash a few deserving walls [...] But like patient little demons, those tools carry inside them the spirit of their making. They twist in our hands in our moment of need and leave us blistered and bleeding. By serving the needs of the people who made them, they resist the greater work.

We need better tech. We need it to be made in better ways and for better uses, and above all, in and for communities."

The work and thinking of @kissane have been and continue to be a key reference for us.

"The work that comes next for Bonfire—that their funding campaign is about—evolves around the needs of real humans in our exact moment
[...] It also, to my absolute delight, foregrounds maintenance—the thing no institutional funder ever wants to help with, because the incentives are for the innovative and new, not the stable and thriving."

Such an amazing read, thanks ❤️

@bonfire

Amazing read indeed! It summarizes so beautifully and thoughtfully my feelings about the Fediverse in general and Bonfire in particular, evidencing the direct link between tech, politics and democracy.

It shows the many reasons why I am so happy and honored to be one of these scholars in activity who have been included in the conception of the open science flavour of Bonfire.

Thank you for the writing, @kissane
