In this episode, Christina talks with Star Ngei, a maker/hacker who helps raise awareness of Global South technology and innovation through the NGO Global Innovation Gathering (GIG), which hosts a network of makers and makerspaces throughout the Global South. Although it’s hard to generalize across a space as culturally, politically, economically, and geographically diverse as the Global South, Christina and Star discuss how the access of people in the Global South to tech is limited compared to that of people in the Global North and so they have a more creative, non-linear approach to technology. They’re far more open to modifying a piece (or pieces) of technology to fit their specific needs, rather than just using it as it comes out of the box and merely specifically for its intended use. Christina and Star also talk about climate change and what the Global North can learn from the Global South in terms of dealing with it. Lastly, they talk about building community and how, if you’re interested in working to decrease global inequality by helping people in the Global South, the best place to start is by striking up a relationship with a community there first. Unless you want your efforts to be a waste of your time, their time, and resources, don’t just give a group of people in the Global South what you think they need, find out what they think they would find useful.

Metal 2 The Masses Quarter Final 4 Rebellion, Manchester - 27/04/2025

It was an unusually hot day in Manchester, one which saw the annual marathon in the city centre.

It was heating up too, with a genuine sense of anxiety in the air, as the level of talent here would rival the grand final line-ups in other regions. Sadly, 2 would…

I’ve been seriously thinking and considering getting my radiology degree and going to Johns hopkins school for 6 months. Does anyone on here have any knowledge or experience with the process and the job itself ? Is it worth it ? To maybe getting into being a travel tech ?

Finding synergy between being a technologist and a word weaver

In technology, there's a dichotomy between those who are "computer people" and those who don't consider themselves technologically inclined. Among the authors I speak with, this usually leads to their brushing away opportunities or systems for their business (and if you claim it on your taxes, then it's a business) rather than dealing with the frustration. However, I've found that as an author technologist, I'm discovering that technology has the ability to enhance my creativity, to make my job as a word weaver easier, rather than more difficult. And I say that as someone who works in technology who has been known to laugh, shrug my shoulders, and say "It's a computer. Turn it off and back on again and see if that works." Now, I'm not talking about AI or autocomplete/automatic suggestions, or any thing that does the work for us. I believe that work created by actual humans, rather than mashed together from an amalgamation of different works and then spit back out by a computer, will always be superior. Sure, about half the time the suggestion that Word or Gmail gives to complete a sentence is correct, but it's not because I'm working on some fiction story or great magnus opus. Instead, the fact that Google can complete a sentence is because we say, "I look forward to hearing from you" or any number of benign, repeatable, throwaway phrases, thousands of times a day. So when you start to type "I look..." into your email, Google says "aha, I know what that's going to say" and finishes it for you. An author technologist is someone with a passion for technology, who uses it to help themselves make the business side of their writing easier. There's a synergy between the creativity of finding a specific software solution (For example, I'm currently experimenting with and on the hunt for open source website analytics, to get my data out of the hands of Google.) and the creativity needed to sit down and write this blog post, or get another 1000 words on one of my many WIPs. Being a word weaver doesn't just mean print, or digital text, either. For me it's part of my work hosting the shows on the MuseCharmer Network and finding technology, like the platform I use to distribute our podcasts, that works best for me and helps me to own all my data and processes. It may seem odd to find someone who is as much a technology coach and virtual assistant as they are a creativity coach, but to me, the two go hand-in-hand. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. How do you use technology to stay more creative? Read the full article

I hope you dont mind me asking, what kind if stuff do you do for a job?

Do you work in a safe environment for trans people?

I work in civic technology, which is the concept of using tech to make the government kinder and more efficient for the citizens it serves. I have been a Service Designer, Product Owner, and Product Manager. These are all "real" jobs you can Google to learn more about.

Right now, I do this at the US federal level. (I am not a fed, but I work for them as a contractor.) While my company is generally safe & affirming, because of the current regime, I am doubtful I will ever get a "public trust clearance" again (this is not security clearance, but it is the govt's way to decide if you are trustworthy/honorable enough to serve) due to being trans. I can NOT be stealth here, due to all the background checks and interviewing that goes on (your family and friends get calls).

So, once my current gig with the agency I'm assigned to expires, I am likely done with fed stuff. It is clear my company, as affirming as they are internally, will not push back if I mysteriously get denied clearance. Or retain me if my presence as key personnel on a contract puts winning it at risk. I literally lectured my CEO about my risk landscape the other week. 🙃

I previously came from the municipal level (I worked for a well-known city) and again, everyone was very affirming and respectful. I involved trans people in my research and did a lot of good work, from improving emergency operations to launching food pantry home delivery, to getting potholes filled faster. I even got a multi-stall gender-neutral bathroom installed at City Hall, in the state of Florida, no less (alas, it had to be closed down when the state governor went on his transphobic rampage, and luckily I had already left by then).

Civic tech is interesting and fulfilling work, but you need a strong personality to cut through bullshit -- I frequently would be at odds with fire chiefs, commissioners, and crusty old accountants and had to either persuade or bully them to affect any sort of progress. Luckily, folks tell me I am both a charismatic and intimidating man. 😅

Again, it was impossible to truly be stealth because of background checks. When I had to take a polygraph, I was asked (by an ex-CIA guy to boot) if anything about me would "embarass" the city. I said I was trans and that my credit score (at the time) was in the shitter. The dude said, "as long as you're working on the latter, you're fine, and no one gives a crap about the former."

I did not have to be publicly trans, but I chose to. I even let the city do a TDOV feature on me on social media, which was a bit scary because that put a target on my back, even in 2019.

Did I still get the stink eye from some employees? Yup. I even had to sic HR on one. But overall, your average civil servant (maybe not federal anymore) tends to lean left, and civic tech itself is a very, VERY queer-friendly field. (Again, not so much federal anymore. I would suggest folks interested here stick to state & municipal work.)

I hope that helps. If you are interested in tech, as long as you are in fields where the purpose is *helping* people, you are bound to find a lot of trans people and allies.
