Some of the time I'm a researcher in human-machine communication (#HMC). Up to November 2024 I taught #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb. My research is listed and linked from the About on my website. Email me or ask me here if there is anything I've written that you'd like to read. Still finding out who I am and who I'll become: my posting here reflects that process.

Time for me to send another email asking politicians to protect Scott Reef in Western Australia. If you want to do that as well then here's a link: https://www.ccwa.org.au/save-scott-reef (I altered/extended the suggested email wording with points of my own, which I'm happy to share if anyone's interested).
leehey! do you know things? do you wanna learn things? (i hope the answer to both those things is yes)
the other day, I offered on here that i would be happy to teach folks some basic web and terminal stuff. other people picked up the idea, also saying they'd be happy to teach!
so, because i have too much free time and not enough enrichment in my enclosure, it's a simple website now.
introducing fediLearns: https://fedilearns.fyi (edited name and domain)
want to be involved? send me some real basic info (fedi handle, what you want to share, title for your listing, category) and i'll put it on the site! and of course, share the site, either via this post or your own. I'm using the #fediSkillshares hashtag :)

edit: use #fediLearns ! turns out skillshare is an actual real company that I totally forgot about so I've adjusted a smidge. plus we have an actual domain now so I'm matching the domain :)

🇨🇦 robyn 💜oh ok so *here's* a neat feature of #Mastodon lists that I had hitherto been unaware of:
You can set them to include replies from list members to:
- No one
- Members of the List
- Any followed user
This is REALLY COOL. The 🤯 option for me personally is to be able to include only replies that members of the list sent to other members of the list. Great for "Local" lists, or lists for a busy topic bubble!
You can also change this setting later!
Guilty of marking this as “read it later” because I want to read it again before deciding how to respond: https://www.joanwestenberg.com/a-metabolic-workspace/ (by @Daojoan)
A Metabolic Workspace
In 1895, a Belgian lawyer, bibliographer and information scientist named Paul Otlet started building what he would call the Mundaneum: a vast repository in Brussels containing over 12 million index cards cross-referenced by subject, designed to hold the entirety of human knowledge. Otlet had already predicted hyperlinks, search engines, and
A blogpost from @Daojoan on #WritingOnTheWeb and why to write a blog (something I do, although the reader I’m writing for mostly feels like future me): https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-case-for-blogging-in-the-ruins/
The Case for Blogging in the Ruins
In 1751, Denis Diderot began publishing his Encyclopédie, a project that would eventually span 28 volumes and take more than two decades to complete. The French government banned it twice. The Catholic Church condemned it, Diderot's collaborators abandoned him, his publisher secretly censored entries behind his back, and he worked
