Slides and resources for my Reasons.to 2018 keynote “taking the vile out of privilege”

I just came back from Reasons.to conference where I gave the opening keynote about the perils of social media and how we should use the privileges we have to make them better. I will do a longer write-up about this later, but a lot of people asked for the slides and links to the resources I covered, so here you go.

Lovely tweets

Great [@reasonsto](https://twitter.com/reasonsto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [#keynote](https://twitter.com/hashtag/keynote?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) from [@codepo8](https://twitter.com/codepo8?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). Great to see a bunch of us are thinking the same things. In these weird times let’s use our privilege to reclaim social media through kindness.
