Thanks to everyone reading me recently (or at all)!
I'm a former tech worker from Mexico, current sociotechnical scholar at MIT ( or Science, Technology, and Society -- or Science and Technology Studies!). I study media and IT, especially as they contribute to public interest and social change.

My current work: What does it entail to challenge in a place where is not to be expected? Some of my ethnographic fieldwork notes from MX blog.castac.org/2024/08/challe

In response to this post

@nazgul I was recommended a nasal spray for protection as well… Was never able to locate it in the US or Mexico


@marielgm If you search for that one you'll find online vendors.
