A Node on the Constellation: The Role of Feminist Makerspaces in Building and Sustaining Alternative Cultures of Technology Production
Feminist makerspaces offer community led alternatives to dominant tech cultures by centering care, mutual aid, and collective knowledge production. While prior CSCW research has explored their inclusive practices, less is known about how these spaces sustain themselves over time. Drawing on interviews with 18 founders and members across 8 U.S. feminist makerspaces as well as autoethnographic reflection, we examine the organizational and relational practices that support long-term endurance. We …

I don’t usually ask for #MutualAid because I’m able to cover my food and bills, but I encourage others to support those who truly need it.
For example, I can’t donate myself since I have some privacy and security concerns with PayPal, plus I live in Norway, which complicates things.

Signal can help people safely organize in all of

I truly believe in anarcho-syndicalism. It’s not merely a political position I align with, it’s an emancipatory framework that speaks to me on a level deeper than ideology, a praxis that gives me a sense of meaning and direction I cannot turn away from.
I believe in it because it embodies the struggle against authoritarianism and the hierarchies of the capitalist state, because it affirms horizontalism, mutual aid, and collective power at the very core of life. It matters to me not a…

ReachVox: Clutter-free Reachability Visualization for Robot Motion Planning in Virtual Reality
Human-Robot-Collaboration can enhance workflows by leveraging the mutual strengths of human operators and robots. Planning and understanding robot movements remain major challenges in this domain. This problem is prevalent in dynamic environments that might need constant robot motion path adaptation. In this paper, we investigate whether a minimalistic encoding of the reachability of a point near an object of interest, which we call ReachVox, can aid the collaboration between a remote operator …
