Smartphone App “The Walk” and Feelings About Fitness Technology

Probably you know from the thinly veiled personal blog that Queer Your Tech actually is that I’ve moved recently (a couple months ago, but it still feels very recent). And probably I have also mentioned, like, one million times that I have moved to a city. And one of the cool things about living in New York City versus living in rural New Jersey is the ability to walk everywhere all the time. In…

Sheridan Le Fanu novella, and that it’s about Laura Hollis whose roommate goes missing during their first semester at Sillas University. All you really need to know is people are a-talkingabout this very gay show…

Header by Rory Midhani
The past two months have been jam-packed for every woman in STEM I know. School went back into session, for one thing. The Mid-Autumn Festival in China created scheduling fluctuations for those of us who work in manufacturing. Ferguson happened, of course, along with a variety of unforeseen ripple effects. And, prompted by a recent study on sexual harassment, a fresh wave…

Perfect As a Pair: Apps for Work That Work Together

So you may have gathered from my two weeks of guests for this column that is basically a thinly veiled personal blog where I tell you about my life through technology that graduate school is hard. In fact, graduate school is kicking my ass just a little. On Thursday, I exhausted myself sick and spent the day watching season six of Parks and Recreationand whining. But I’m still super happy. And I…

Drawn to Comics: Lumberjanes #6 Asks What’s Up With Jo? What’s Up With Diane? What’s Up With Everything?

Fresh off their four Autostraddle Comic and Sequential Art Awards, Lumberjanes is back and just as great as ever. This comic is seriously on such a great roll right now. Issue #6starts off with the campers going about their daily business just shortly after dealing with a camp-wide dinosaur attack. Now that the whole camp is dealing with the weirdness that up till now only the main girls previously have been, you might think that the camp would be on lockdown or something, and that’s definitely what Jen thinks. But no, instead they’re playing the coolest looking game of capture the flag I’ve ever seen.

Facebook Says Goodbye, You Say Ello

On Monday night I sat in the living room talking with friend and technology writer Taylor Hatmaker about whether she had heard of new anti-Facebook social media platform Ello. She had written days earlier about Facebook’s crackdown on the real name policy and how it disproportionately affects LGBT populations, so I thought she might be interested. We noticed a movement among our friends, the majority of whom are queer, towards this sparse but sleek new invite only social media platform and figured it was worth signing up, you know, just to see.
