5 days ago
Tools and processes for community liberation. An occasional podcast documenting GFSC and friends’ attempts to build joyful inclusive communities in an increasingly hostile world. Rooted in ideas from trans liberation, anti-racism and disability activism, we connect the dots between grassroots community resistance, big tech totalitarianism, bashing your head against local government, love/hate relationships with shiny devices, and co-producting software that actually works.
