Issue 22

Read Issue 22 here.  

Our first official issue of summer 2015! Very excited to bring you this one, check out articles on:

* the problem with how we conceptualize and build "liberational technology"
* the fintech bubble, and the role of sex workers in driving technology and financial revolution
* the typography, graphic design and semiotics of surveillance
* anonymity and toxic internet culture
* misogynoiristic expectancy on social media
* women of color and the false dualism of on- and offline life 
* the mythologies of the tech bubble

And, published just today in our news section, a new column on Model View Culture from the inside. In an exclusive Q&A with our editor, we discuss being 1.5 years old, "going viral", the metrics we look at, and MVC as a body of work. (You can read that here.) 

Thanks so much for your support, which has helped us get this far! We look forward to many more years of publishing with your help. 

We're already hard at work on the next issue, with new drafts coming in this weekend. And, if you subscribe to our Quarterly editions, the new one should be shipping sometime next week! 

<3,
 MVC

Auros Harman Re: the "How many partners is enough?" strip -- I'm reminded of the Dayenu prayer. It would've been enough to meet any of the people I've loved (not just the current partner and flirtations). But the world's more beautiful for having ALL of them in it.

Our new issue is out now!!! 


Check out new articles on


  • Crowdfunding and black economic justice 
  • Being gay in maker spaces, and queer-informed design practice
  • Hidden power dynamics in open source boards, core teams and membership
  • Mental health and burnout in tech activism 
  • The inequalities created by iOS-first development
  • The demands faced by marginalized people in tech
  • How the devaluation of non-developers negatively impacts tech companies
  • Plus, an in-depth interview on the #GiveYourMoneyToWomen movement


Also this week we launched a new program to help bring Model View Culture to more small and independent hacker spaces, non-profits, diversity-in-tech groups, university organizations and more. We're able to start this program in part due to your generous support of MVC! 


Thank you so much for making independent tech media possible, and see you in three weeks for our next issue!

Anders Interesting. No, you can't add and subtract like that because you don't know that "+1" means the same everywhere on the scale. People do it, but it's not strictly kosher. Good video.
