Especially not technology. Definitely not technology, which itself is an outgrowth of the structures of oppression that condition our experience. You want proof? We can talk about the history of optics as grounded in racism. Or, we can talk about Henrietta Lacks. (2/n)

How to interpret CDC report: 180000 have died due to COVID. They would have lived many more years on average if it wasnt for COVID. COVID caused their death

600000 die of cancer each year. 95% likely have comorbidities. Doesn’t mean cancer was not cause of their death. @ASlavitt
