Some of my own examples:

• my 2018 tutorial on making a Twitter bot that posts protest art: https://botwiki.org/resource/tutorial/random-image-tweet/
• a write-up on handling people hotlinking images from your site showing how to serve BLM poster instead: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-prevent-image-hotlinking/
• a recent data visualization tutorial I wrote that talks about the importance of worker movements: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/introduction-to-apache-echarts/

Thinking about putting together a blog post about this approach and I'd like to link to a few good examples.

@stefan can you elaborate a bit on “without being overtly political”?

@chrisamaphone Great question!

I guess you can look at my own examples I shared. Or here's another one: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/exploring-the-mapping-police-violence-dataset/

I am trying to bring attention to the problem of police violence without using phrases like ACAB, FTP, etc.

Is this too centrist? I don't know. I would definitely read a coding blog that is even more leftist, it's just not what I had in mind for myself.
