**Stay Woke Bot**
In 2016, Darius Kazemi, a computer programmer and artist, made staywokebot[^staywoke] in conversation with Black Lives Matter activists DeRay Mckesson and Samuel Sinyangwe. The bot sent out messages to its Twitter followers to uplift activists' morale and provide joyful interactions. Kazemi has also worked on private bots for activists that take over some of the repetitive or distressing work. They attempt to mitigate the harm and exhaustion that activists are exposed to on communication platforms such as Twitter by acting as a type of prosthesis.
