Expanding Your Empathy
summary
An experiment puts a volunteer through two minutes of 156 pokes and extrapolates that irritation to roughly 1.8 million interruptions over 32 years, making the cumulative harm concrete. A browser metaphor maps privilege to compatibility: some people get a smooth experience, others live in quirks mode. Concrete tactics appear: when called out stop shut up listen apologize plus resources and groups named (Black Girls Code, Revision Path, uniting to understand racism, Anita Sarkeesian) for doing the work.
