If everything works fine, you’re a master of pacing for having a narrative that bridges to whatever you were going to show. On avoiding being the academic that talks about technology but can’t get it to cooperate, the advice I can give from my local adult-ed “intro to computers” days is to always have a story ready to go when you start the transition. It’ll be missed (the podcast, not the power structures), and I hope that the feed is used to announce whatever projects spin out of this. It’s been great hearing perspectives that aren’t ordinarily in front of me, not to mention a decent guide to where I need to make sure I’m not complicit in the power structures we all know and loathe. Speaking as a non-academic (well, semi-recovering), cisgender, heterosexual, White, American man (so, not quite the target audience), I’d like to thank everyone involved for one of the few podcasts I’ve consistently looked forward to listening to.

Secret Feminist Agenda is recorded and produced by Hannah McGregor on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. The podcast theme song is “Mesh Shirt” by Mom Jeans off their album “Chub Rub.” Listen to the whole album here or learn more about them here. Gena’s theme song was “Head Over Heels” by the The Go-Go’s. The John Locke theory Gena mentioned is tabula rasa the application of the “blanket slate” idea into colonialism and theft of land is terra nullius.The long, narrow space is lined with banquettes and round booths on one side, and the bar on the other. The scholars Gena cited in relation to her exercise, ‘Where Do You Know From?’, include Eve Tuck, Minelle Mahtani, and Katherine McKittrick. Tabula Rasa Bar Restaurant Review: Bestia alums Zach Negin and Daniel Flores are behind wine bar Tabula Rasa on Hollywood Boulevard in East Hollywood.The Netflix documentary I alluded to is The Social Dilemma.This piece is a few years old but still pertinent: “The digital native is a myth”.I was also reminded of the vital work of the Combahee River Collective. On the topic of collective models of organizing, Gena mentioned The Bigger 6 Collective and the V21 Collective.For more on the exhausting embodied labour of diversity work, especially within universities, check out Sara Ahmed’s On Being Included.My reference to turning routines into rituals came from Kook Teflon (via Zena Sharman), from episode 62 of the Bespoken Bones Podcast.We talked about reclaiming your time which prompts me to re-share this piece by Tressie McMillan Cottom on race and the politics of (wasting) time.
