Twitter is currently not working correctly to identify the breaking news about the tsunami (big issue for all of my region) and BlueSky's algorithm isn't helping much either.
Interestingly, it's more useful to have the TV on, or follow gubernamental accounts.

Now, I understand that border agent interviews on arrival may be intimidating, especially for those not used to be flagged as suspicious for their nationality (something I'm very used to as a Latin American), but I hope this doesn't scare you to the point you decide to stop doing things 💛

Just in case this works as encouragement for someone out there: I had a visa appointment at the US Consulate in Chile last week and I got a renovation 🎉 the agent read my visa letter provided by #ica25 and immediately started copying details. The rest of the interview went just fine.

It’s not just the carelessness of using Signal. It’s what they said in the chat:

- there is no necessity in the Yemen strikes, meaning they are acts of aggression by own admission

- they hate Europe and mean Europe harm

- they don’t have a consistent message, only temporary vibes

🧵 👋 I'm a political scientist who wrote a book about the recent collapse of two democracies (Egypt & Tunisia).

Given the anxieties of today, let me present a 🧵 with thoughts & resources for:

15/ Third, subscribe to your local papers. Quality journalism is ever more essential today. Without people doing the hard work, we will never learn about malfeasance and corruption. NYTimes is great but local papers are essential!

Section of an email. It reads "Dear Valquiria Ramos Obregón, Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that your session proposal (501192), ICA25 THEME SESSION: Disruptive Perspectives on Scholarly Communication in Publishing, Media, Communications, and Beyond has been accepted for the 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association, to be held 12-16 June 2025 at the Hyatt Regency & Grand Hyatt at Denver, Colorado, USA.". There's a happy face on a corner of the image.

There will be a panel about scholarly communication at #ICA25 and this is happening because @fleerackers.bsky.social, @tobiasdienlin.com and Chelsea Ratcliffe joined me into this venture. I find it hard to express how grateful I am to them and the reviewers 💛 Looking forward to see you in Denver!

I already had two Tw!tter accounts: one to like dumb things and have fun, and a more "professional" one. Then I started adding some people in the serious account that I wanted to impress as a cool person. Then the downfall of the platform came. Now I have a new identity crisis, and a BlueSky account
