@kevincollier the nuclear waste analogy isn't very apt: you don't need to access nuclear waste after it's generated, sensitive personal data doesn't pose environmental risks, etc ... It should have been treated like sensitive personal data: we have ways of doing that safely

OK. I'm making a concerted effort to learn #ukulele chords *and* what they're called. So, I'm writing them down. ("If you don't write it down, you're just f*cking around.")
I'll not post my progress in real time -- the social accountability thing doesn't work for me because it just makes me feel demotivating shame when I don't keep it up -- but I'll reply here when I've got a few and have some stable transitions.

@Pat I wanted to spout off about the beauty of life and the cosmos, but 2:30 AM is no time for this insomniac to wax lyrical about the human drive to 'visit the stars as soon as we conceived of the glittering firmament as a place to which one could go,' etc.
I just migrated from mastodon.lol so let me introduce myself again:
I am a South American biologist, #rstats programmer, and member of several communities of practice in open and responsible research. I am currently a postdoc at UFABC in Brazil, working on the resilience of Brazilian Atlantic Forest ecosystems to climate change.
I am always learning about non-liberal, trans-inclusive feminisms, anti-racism, social and environmental justice, and responsible AI.
