so the gist of my last voice memo there... what about we try this voice memo back-and-forth format for a condensed amount of time... say this weekend (are you both free-ish?) we could say evening of friday i could send my first question, and then we stop no matter what (wherever we get to) end of day / 8pm on sunday 🍃

hi again ~

so i’m going to start soon!

just to review…

we’ll just have an asynchronous conversation over this weekend, from now until sunday evening. we’ll just see what we get in that span of time! it’s kind of an experiment, so thanks for being open to this format with me.

and before each question, i’ll say who should respond first and who second. will flip every other q. hopefully that makes things simpler.

😷✨
20:58
anyway... here is the first question...
20:58
(answer: neta first, ritu second)

hi all, catching up on all the voice memos now and im planning on responding to Laurel’s first question now but obviously not going to complete this interview by 8pm tonight. my apologies the move has set me back significantly on all my deadlines.

hey neta and ritu, thank you both so much, i am so enjoying hearing your responses already!

but i want to be mindful of your time -- and don't want this to be annoying to respond to, given the experimental format. so what about this (my proposal… let me know what you think!): would you all be up for scheduling a block (maybe 1.5 hours to be safe) in which we would all be on the chat and responding more quickly? that way we could finish in one swoop.

i'm free these days (actually just traveled to chicago area to visit my family for a while):
* anytime tomorrow
* anytime thurs
* anytime fri after 1pm
* anytime sunday

(let me know if there’s a good time in there?)

i will also give you my general questions ahead of time:

* do you think creating websites are an important tool for activists, organizers, abolitionists? do you think it's accessible?

* you mentioned you, ritu and neta, had some back-and-forth sessions. what's your website collaboration style like?

* this is really specific, but i’m so curious about the mysterious but inviting dot graphics on maskon.zone in the lower right corner near “resources”. how did those come about?

* is there anything else you'd like to share about maskon.zone?

* how do you approach color on the web?

* how did you get into making websites in the first place? what was your first encounter with “html energy” like?

* what's your favorite html element?
12:47
(also, sorry for the bug report… maybe you already know this? the links on the “resources” page of maskon.zone don’t seem to work for me, or go to a blank page.)
