We're organizing a small in-person workshop about federated/decentralized social media at Princeton.

https://dsmw.cs.princeton.edu/

We're interested in bringing folks who develop fediverse tech or admins that manage active Mastodon instances. We have some travel funding.

Ping me if interested, and please boost 🚀 to reach more people.

Migrating from one instance to another means my #embroidery posts got lost despite still circulating, so I’m going to reshare a few, starting with this french knot color wheel that I spent a month stitching to see if I could make the colors come back around to themselves. #art #womensart

Me on Mastodon: Here is an important article I worked on for years that was just published in a significant venue

Mastodon: Yawn

Me: Here is an embroidery I made when I wasn’t working

Mastodon: This is amazing! Everyone look at this!

Too often we approach issues of equity and inclusion through the lens of harm reduction. That's essential, but it's the minimal bar for acceptable tech, not an end goal.

What would AI that spurs joy from within minoritized communities look like? This exciting new fellowship sponsored by MSR with Edinburgh's BRAID project seeks a creative UK-based scholar to collaborate with me and our team to help us imagine.

Please spread the word

I don’t want to get too mystical, but today we ran across a groundhog in a field, which would be pretty normal, but this one was completely white. According to the internet this happens like four times in a century and I am not even making that up.

Hi #AoIR2023 peeps! Our group at Microsoft Research in Cambridge Mass is actively seeking a predoc research assistant and very soon we will be looking for a postdoc and several PhD interns. Several of us will be there - @tarleton @ZoeGlatt and me for example. Please feel welcome to ask us about these opportunities!

Doggo would like to remind you that anywhere can be a cozy comfy spot if you choose to make it so.

I for one am glad that the charade of pretending that Elon’s toy is still “Twitter” is over. Let X join Gab and Parler and the others. Should have rebranded in October 22. Maybe even journalists would have been embarrassed to be reliant on X.

Random thought : Was “SPOILER” the first online content warning? Can anyone think of an earlier one? #AoIR2023

I too dressed as a skeleton last night but it was chilly and I put my muscles and organs and flesh on over it and then no one could tell.

Any chance a Mastodon person in #Boston wants to buy two excellent seats for Crowded House May 30 at face value? I ended up needing a set of three so bought new ones.

New work just dropped in MIT Sloan Management Review. We surveyed American office workers and found men were more likely to report that their organizations reward employees for supporting one another, even though women reported supporting colleagues more often. Want to guess the biggest predictor of job satisfaction? We call for an equitable return on social investment.

Can see already that 2024 is going to be a boring year for those of us who never cared for Mickey Mouse in the first place.
