Point of View: End of an Era

by
Purple Roofs

Last week, I killed something precious, and I couldn’t stop crying about it for a long time. Twenty eight years ago, my husband Marco and I had started a web design company, but we were at a loss about how to get new clients. So we hit upon an idea… well, Marco did. We would start a directory for the LGBTQ+ community of queer owned and friendly B&B’s, and then see if we could get any of them as clients. He even suggested the name – Purple Roofs. I thought it was the dumbest thing I’d ever heard, and I … Read more

I’ve been thinking a lot about the online world vs. the offline one lately. I still remember clearly the march toward where we are now, from the good old days before every home had a computer and every hand held a cell phone. And then it launched – this glorious new thing called the World Wide Web, making it easy for anyone to post pages atop the internet. At first, no one quite knew what to do with it except throw advertisements on it. Over the period of three months, suddenly every billboard and magazine ad had a web address … Read more

Point of View: The Enshittification of (Almost) Everything

Ask yourself this. When was the last time you were excited (not motivated by fear or disgust) to visit a social media website? Any website? Or this – name one corporation that you really love and think is doing good things for the world. For me, it’s been a long time since either of these was true. There’s a concept that was pioneered by Corey Doctorow a few years back in an article about the TikTok website, but it has since become broadly applicable to many sites on the web. In a nutshell, he observed that TikTok had burst onto … Read more

Oh, World Con. We just got back from a trip to Anaheim for the 84th annual World Con – the second year in a row I’ve gone. Last year, I managed to have a booth there for Liminal Fiction, and went to a number of table talks and got to meet some great folks. However, I got started late, so I wasn’t on any panels. And I felt a little out of my element the whole time.  Back in 2018, Mark and I went to the San Jose one, but only for a day and a half, and it was … Read more
