We close out this newsletter with three fantastic pieces. Working with her has been lovely, as it was working with Jen and Matthew before her. She’s responsible for, well, everything good about this newsletter right now. Her editing, guidance, feedback, creativity, independence and sheer smarts have made this newsletter look and feel as good as does, and has made producing it as joyful as it has been. Chava, as I hope you all know, is the amazing editor of the newsletter. Mike has been the curator for the Sightlines column since its inception and is responsible for its richness and wonder. This is in no way a reflection on their ability. The newsletter team, Chava and Mike, are absolutely terrific and have done tremendous work. This issue, 2018 December, will be our last one for the foreseeable future. After 3 years, Tech Tools is no longer has the resources to keep the newsletter going. I want to be clear: that doesn’t make any one of those pieces and those contributors any less terrific and pertinent than they are, but it does mean I should have done a better job with my curation, making sure to include everyone I did reach out to and then so much more.īy now you’ve already figured out where this is going. Our representation across those 70 pieces could be better in terms of ability, breadth of topics and point of view.
My team has only ever made what I’ve handed them better.
CANT EDIT DIMMER IN LIGHTWRITE 6 FULL
We’re stumbled and struggled in a few places - for that, I take full responsibility. Some 70 pieces grace our archive, from deeply personal stories to political polemics multi-part meditations on class, education, academics and the meaning of professionalism excellently researched informational pieces on safety and health on the worksite crucial considerations of awful, and awfully common, discrimination and oppression meditations on how we all move forward together. There are so many more crucial ideas and truths that needed to be brought forward years ago and still aren’t discussed in any more than hushed whispers for fear of ridicule and retaliation.īut for all that, we - the whole team and everyone who’s worked on this newsletter - are tremendously proud of what we have done so far.
CANT EDIT DIMMER IN LIGHTWRITE 6 PROFESSIONAL
There are so many more stories, histories, perspectives and meditations on life and art, on the personal and the professional that we haven’t yet represented in any way, shape or form. It’s been three years, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface that goal. Above all, their brilliance in all its magnificence and multifaceted ways you can understand that word. In a sense, they were meant to be an offshoot of our Community Gatherings and Panel Discussions: a community organizing tool a means to celebrate the people that are so often rendered invisible in our industry, and their varied ideas, concerns and stories. What we ultimately wanted was a platform for folks, topics and issues that rarely were given a public spotlight in the industry - focusing on the production disciplines and its practitioners. And by “we first discussed”, what I mean is that I tried to force through a half-baked idea and Jen and Laura insisted that we sort out how it was all going to work. I remember when we first discussed having a newsletter.
