13436055, It's Nettrice Gaskins

She used to post in Activist and GD a lot back in the day. I didn't know her particularly well but she seemed cool. Then again, I'm kind of a geek so let that say what it says.

13436135, Nettrice was always the coolest, smartest, wisest poster
Posted by stravinskian, Sat Jun-26-21 07:54 PM
in the threads I would frequent. She could say a hell of a lot with very few words. The opposite of most of the rest of us. She was by far the best thing about the activist board when she was around.
So happy to hear about her success.

13436166, am i remembering a different nettrice than yall?
Posted by RobOne4, Mon Jun-28-21 01:25 AM
i took a look at her work and its amazing. But the poster nettrice i remember posted some off the wall shit. I also remember lots of second life talk from her. Or do I have her confused with someone else?
|
13436167, People have layers. I don't recall that exactly but
Posted by Binlahab, Mon Jun-28-21 05:59 AM
Wouldn't be shocking if so.
|
13436168, Yeah that second life 'off the wall' shit was NFTs before NFTs
Posted by Castro, Mon Jun-28-21 06:19 AM
She was on shit folks are just getting into now over a decade ago.
Went and got her PHD, ran a STEM lab at a high school and now is basically going around the world teaching and selling her art. MIT Press is about to publish her book this fall.
It sounded 'off the wall' but she was really on some Dilla shit.
