What I hope(d) to do through The Operating System platform is to aggregate and disseminate critically valuable resources that can amplify and assist creative individuals and organizations in their own process of evolution. This is why we’re called “The Operating System”: because we’re literally inspired by systems of social, cultural, bodily, institutional, network (etc.) operating, and we’re constantly searching for ways of improving those systems, for the good of all of us.

It excites me that we’re able to discuss these issues in our world, be held accountable, even if we’re minute in the grander scheme of the country. These intense discussions and “calling out” of problematic happenings in the publishing world keep it honest and constantly observing itself. I think we all want to do things with a good intent, a good heart, and we’re tired of (white/male) privilege in its deep-seeded practices of repression. There’s still so much work to do, and there’s so many great people who are energetically participating in change in the small/independent press publishing orbit.
