T came over for a three hour conversation about what it's like to be a computer scientist in a society on crash course. We agree on the lack of meaningful contributions that also earn an income. I love that he literally offers no solution for anything. We wondered what it means that I'm swapping The Industry for a campaigning ngo job and I felt a pang.
How the hell are such powerful skills so far from the radical change required. How did we get to such high hourly fees that ngo's can only offer volunteer positions? I feel like we should start an ngo together and he does too but we joked I'll join his when this one drives me to a burnout (as is all too common with ngo's). Regardless we discussed many important questions that we do not have answers to: how can we reimagine a tech that would benefit my community? We shape our technology and then the tech shapes us, how do we step outside that? Is there a certain scale from when on tech makes more sense? What community issues and communication actually benefits us?
I told T I'm only leaving my ngo for an anarchist human computer interaction oriented program as per the Os Keyes paper and he did not even blink. Girl can have a dream right.

GOJO LEAVES YOU IN CHARGE OF HIS STREAM
✩ ‧ ˚. synopsis: gojo has to answer a call, so he asks that you take over his stream for a couple minutes. (streamer!au)
contents: fem!reader. cheesy fluff, you have been warned. this post is kinda just a lead-up to the angst, so i didn't really put in any effort
Tumblr media Tumblr media
satoru's phone rings in the middle of his conversation with suguru, and to his dismay, it's his dad.
"ugh, it's my old man," satoru groans, briefly exchanging a knowing glance with you before getting up from his computer. "i gotta take this, be right back." as satoru exits the room, still live, he turns to you and gestures at his monitor. "babe, d'you wanna take over for a sec?"
you blink, caught off-guard by the sudden offer. he waits, azure eyes fixed on you as his phone continues ringing. "yeah, sure," you answer hesitantly, unsure what you'd even do. satoru nods gratefully in reply and finally accepts the call.
"what is it this time?" satoru grumbles, walking out his bedroom door and closing it behind him. you check your reflection in his mirror before sliding into his chair and waving.
"uh, hey guys," you say, waving at the screen. your reflection in the camera smiles back at you, and so does suguru.
a hundred comments stream in all at once, responding with various forms of hi's and hello's, and you recognize a couple of the names from prior interactions with satoru.
toji-fushiguro: heyy ;)
yuuji-itadori: hello!
"why don't we do a quick q&a while we wait for satoru?" suguru offers, adjusting his headphones. you nod, grateful for his help. had it been just you running the stream, you think it'd be full of awkward silence and half-hearted hello's, but thankfully, suguru's there to help you out.
"yeah, of course!" you reply eagerly, tilting your head curiously. in all honesty, you really are interested in his viewers—satoru's formed a personal connection, good or bad, with a lot of his regulars, but you don't really know most of them.
maki-zenin: why do u tolerate gojo's ass lolll
you giggle at that and shake your head, resting your cheek on your palm. "yeah, he's pretty annoying, but i guess he's somewhat tolerable," you tease, knowing that if satoru were here, he'd grumble something about you being the annoying one. "but he's a good boyfriend and that almost makes up for it."
suguru laughs and nods in agreement, adding, "yeah, satoru's a handful. but we love him anyways." he runs a hand through his hair, letting out a soft, amused exhale at the commenters who're saying that they wished suguru was talking about them instead of satoru.
yuuji-itadori: what's your favorite color? :)
you pause, caught off-guard by the simple question. a thousand colors run through your head, but you settle on one close to home. "i'd have to say blue," you admit bashfully. "the same shade as satoru's eyes."
oh, that was cheesy, but it's true—you're not entirely sure when your favorite color became one so closely connected with your boyfriend, but somewhere along the way, it did. the revelation warms your heart—ever since you and satoru met, you've gotten so close that he's present in every corner of your life. even in your favorite color.
right on cue, satoru walks back in, complaining about something related to his dad. he stops grumbling when he sees you and the look in your eyes, and he strolls over to give you a kiss on the cheek.
"hey, thanks," satoru says softly, glancing at the screen to make sure everything's alright. suguru smiles back knowingly, and the comments welcome back satoru. one in particular catches both you and satoru's eye, and it makes you laugh harder than ever.
toji-fushiguro: can u go out with me? i promise ima better bf than gojo could ever be
"okay, that's enough," satoru huffs, covering your mouth and muffling your giggles with one hand. he rolls his eyes good-naturedly and says something about having to log off before he closes the stream, double-checking that it's actually off (unlike last time) before grabbing your face and kissing you again.
"how was it?" he mumbles in-between kisses. you hum in response, leaning closer into his lips. satoru smiles and pulls away after a couple more seconds, a teasing glint in his eyes. "i heard everything, by the way."
your mouth drops open a little. "huh? but i thought you were on the phone with your dad."
"yeah, i was, but then i hung up," satoru says nonchalantly. "he was annoying me, and i'd rather listen to my pretty girl answer some questions about me," he cooes, pinching your cheeks. "so, what was that about me being just tolerable?"
"i'm sorr—" satoru interrupts you with a kiss, just like always.
"yeah, you better be!"
————
an hour later, you pick up your phone and do your usual social media run. to your surprise, satoru's trending on twitter—and it's because of your answers to the questions you received from his viewers. everyone's posting about it and saying you two have got to be the cutest couple on the internet, and a bunch of other users are asking for his channel.
this isn't the first time something like this has happened because of you—remember that time you and satoru accidentally made out live? that also ended with him receiving over a thousand new followers overnight.
you wonder what satoru thinks of this.
