Was SO much fun listening to @susglickman.bsky.social on the role of history in the anxious lives of Cold War era scientists. For STS @unioncollege.bsky.social

From colonial surveys to contemporary gem rushes: how do stones become valuable across geological time? First article from my PhD, "After Exploratory Geology: Gemological El Dorado in Global Afghanistan," now out in @csshjournal.bsky.social (open access!)

I can imagine having this on a coffee mug 🤣

Hands Off My Em Dashes!

I will henceforth :( the ones out for review will have to just have to brave it :(

I am inspired! I did put in a recent article draft, less out of vengeance and more out of habit.

Right??? I have em dashes in so many places and now they all look icky :/

What a tough time for us em dash lovers 😭 reading my own writings and feeling sad about what AI has done to one of my favourite punctuations :(

Yeah it’s not seasonal at all :/

Spring is here and I am still howling maybe it was not about the season… 🤔

Why did I check the comment section of the video on Fox News? 😭

I’ll urge my colleagues who prepare useful online petitions to offer sections available for safe activism offline, or anonymously online.

My thoughts too 😭

I complain about winter in New York and then I see the sheer gorgeousness of snow landscaping through hills.

Not my hair looking like my shoulder houses a ferret.

I’m so removed from the actual tech production world (I’m more in the philosophy of technology, if that makes sense, and my isolation is a problem) that I didn’t actually realize how un-creative it can be.

Give me bad and I can at least scream but give me boring and idk how to respond?

Went to a comedy roast show (meh) where AI projects get roasted by comedians and to my horror, saw actual (bad) projects by people untethered to reality. They all wanted AI chatbots to replace doctors, sales reps, rather than actually do something cool. Tech got SO BORING so quickly.

This :(

Sadlol. This is better than the Spiderman image I’ve put. I like Spiderman. Elon, on the other hand…

This is so spectacularly absurd.

NEIGHBORS, I’ll take pictures of papers - scraps of papers, random paper bag lying on the street, whatever catches my interest (and I am engrossed by weird things, so this is going to be a party for me).

SO down for this. I think I’ll take pictures of papers! Time to drag a bunch of my friends on Instagram to here for this.

Hello bff 🙌🏾

Okay this actually sounds GOOOOD - I suppose it will work if it’s the strength of a horse tranquilizer.

Each Executive Order should at least come with a free box of anti-depressants from one’s favorite Big Pharma.

I want to read without my phone next to me *and then spends 30 minutes collecting passwords across multiple devices*

New Yorker shouts and murmurs post about what’s up with millennials today: SOME OF THEM GOT LOST IN A MAZE WHILE TRYING TO FIND THEIR PASSION. Millennials were the first generation to grow up with the wild idea that we all need to pursue our passion and be famous on the Internet. That idea turned into a giant hedge maze that really did a number on them.

This @newyorker.com “shouts and murmurs” piece by Alex Baia is so real I wanted to cry on my lifetime’s savings worth of avocado toast.
