      Like her, I am a graduate of the MIT Media Lab. I have many thoughts about what we've been learning over the past two weeks about the Lab's fundraising and leadership. Unsuprisingly, she expresses everything much better than I can. 3/15

      I was not going to post about any of this, because I never post about anything important on social media. But, in this case, that doesn't feel like a good enough excuse to stay quiet. 4/15

      I was a student at The Media Lab from 1996-1999. I was extraordinarily lucky to have had that opportunity. It shaped my life from that period on. 5/15

      The Lab was a rich and intellectually diverse place. Faculty and students were, in ways almost completely unique for that time, pushing on the boundaries of what could be done with computers and computation. 6/15

      Many people, both students and faculty, were open about assuming that women should always have to prove their tech bona fides. 8/15

      None of this makes the Media Lab different from the tech industry more generally. Our whole industry is now -- should now -- be facing what Dr. Boyd refers to as a Great Reckoning. 9/15

      We shouldn’t #cancelstallman because his ideas are abhorrent. We should do it because he has acted in abhorrent ways, deliberately & consistently, over 30 years, despite repeated feedback, & because in so doing he’s pushed countless women, girls, & others out of software.

          I grew up in the Free Software movement and was influenced by and looked up to Richard Stallman. I donated to the Free Software Foundation for several years. Eventually, I saw more of Stallman's behavior, and its impact, and stopped giving to the FSF. 11/15

          It's past time for the Free Software Foundation to remove Richard Stallman from its board. It's past time for MIT to part ways with him. 12/15

          Finally, if you care about these issues, please read @RuMboya's opinion piece in the MIT Tech from August 29th: https://thetech.com/2019/08/29/joi-ito-needs-to-resign … 13/15

          At the same time that many prominent people in our world were signing a letter in support of Joi Ito, @RuMboya was carefully explaining why it is important to hold people who have positions of responsibility accountable for the ethical decisions they make. 14/15
