Following me means a non-zero chance that sooner or later, I'll offend you. Feel free to follow, of course, but I believe in fair warning.

Well left of center, all of the privileges I have are the same that everyone else on the planet should have. There is no scarcity or other valid reason not to share evenly.

I'll make an intro post with other #fediverse accounts etc and a little more, as well... Moved here from Ohai, looking for a handful of nice-to-have features.

Once I get this profile dealt with, I'll do an intro post and move over here wholesale. And hopefully remember to edit out this line!

I have a BookWyrm, see k/v section, but badly need to update it.

Welp, finally had a bike stolen in Berkeley. It’s insured (through Velosurance), and fortunately I have another bike to use, so it’s mostly an annoyance. If you ever buy a bike used, it’s a good idea to look up the serial number on BikeIndex.org and see if it might be stolen: https://bikeindex.org/bikes/1655058 #BikeTheft #Berkeley

This excellent illustration, “The hostile obstacle course that #women & BIPOC have to endure in academia” is making the rounds again & it’s always worth resharing.

Also, this applies to far, far more than careers in #science. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-021-00868-0

Scientists from historically excluded groups face a hostile obstacle course - Nature Geoscience

Inclusive and equitable geoscience requires identification and removal of structural barriers to participation. Replacing the leaky pipeline metaphor with that of a hostile obstacle course demands that those with power take the lead.

If you are a Chrome user, you've probably been been opted-in to Google's enhanced tracking system without any warning.

Chrome's newest update pretends to provide users "Enhanced ad privacy", but actually enrolls Chrome users into a new trackings system.

To disable Google's "advanced" ad tracking, go to Settings>Privacy and Security>Ad Privacy and disable all three options there (Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, and Ad Measurement).

In 2024 Putin will have his butt kicked by Ukraine, Elon Musk will have his butt kicked by Mastodon, and Trump will have his butt kicked by the courts.

Buy your popcorn early — the stores might run out.
