Emily Gorcenski finished reading Vision on Fire by Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman would have absolutely killed it on Twitter.

Ich habe eigentlicht nichts Neues außer ein Paar deutsche Fallbeispiele gelernt. Trotzdem fand ich die Beiträge sehr gut, besonders den von Ingmar Mundt, in dem er schreibt, dass sogenannte “unbiased” Data Sets unzureichend sind, um gerechte KI zu bauen, weil das Sozialsystem selbst ungerecht ist. Endlich habe ich etwas ein bisschen mehr “radikal” gelesen.

Ich habe mit großen Hoffnungen angefangen, diese tolle Sammlung von Essays über KI, Gerechtigkeit und Datenrechte zu lesen.
Emily Gorcenski finished reading Practical Data Privacy by Katharine Jarmul
A great book that serves as a great overview of the various techniques developed to improve privacy while also permitting useful data analysis to be done. There are lots of good examples and case studies in this book!
Emily Gorcenski started reading Practical Data Privacy by Katharine Jarmul
This year, for my personal development days, I'm diving deep into this book, written by my friend and former co-worker. It's a really great look at some of the techniques one should be familiar with to engineer privacy into our systems!

Emily Gorcenski started reading You can't go home again by Thomas Wolfe
This book’s title was rattling in my head for years and years and I finally decided to find where it’s from: a book about someone from the Blue Ridge who moves to Germany to discover himself and the world and comes home to find that he, and therefore the world, has changed.
I wonder why it appeals to me so much.
Emily Gorcenski finished reading Main Street by Sinclair Lewis
Done with #68 on the Modern Library Top 100 list. 100 years old and remarkably relevant and relatable. A book about both the impossibility and inevitability of the American dream, Lewis’s prose is remarkable, and the book is a witty satire of middle American culture.

Ich habe vor ein Paar Jahren in Prag dieses Buch gekauft. Weil ich meine Wohnung ausräume, möchte ich es schell lesen und meiner Freundin schenken.
Emily Gorcenski finished reading Breaking Borders to Build Bridges by Women in Exile & Friends
This book was fantastic. It was rage-inducing and awe-inspiring. Anyone who wants to understand German migration politics needs to start with who is most affected: by listening to stories of the refugees and asylum seekers who deal with Germany's racism and institutional violence every day.

I met the Women* in Exile group at a digital safety training I hosted some months ago. They were selling this book of stories of migration as a fundraiser, and it’s amazing.
Emily Gorcenski finished reading After Institutions by Karen Archey
A nice long form essay, but it is more a review of Institutional Critique than a piece that really envisions a world of art that must—or gets to—exist without institutional influence.
Emily Gorcenski finished reading Frames of War by Judith Butler
This was… not great. It wasn’t awful. There were some gems inside if you can Butler’s needless wordiness. The book could have been much shorter. But the final chapter on nonviolence is a worthy read.
