My sysadminnery stretches into my personal life too where I do it recreationally, so hold that against me if I ever sound well-balanced or reasonable. Spent a lot of time in Linux land, Debian by preference, but I'm BSD-curious.

I like making food and mixing drinks, brewing coffee, getting around the city by bicycle - I ride a heavily modified Brompton folder - and getting very into movies.

Spent most of my life disliking myself a bunch and I've been working hard lately to fix that.

US Politics 

I just voted! I was able to take a nice long walk in the gray weather, stroll to a local spot to buy some cookies, and trundled home.

But so many people don't have that choice (which I only have because I'm currently unemployed).

A day of voting should be a national holiday at the very least - a fully paid holiday to be even more effective. #politics #voting

I’m seeing long-time Mastodon folks asking people to please PLEASE use CW on posts about political topics and then I’m seeing almost no one actually do that. It’s so important to keep up with the culture of this space that was established long before many of us got here. Just use the CW!!

Hello/Hola, I'm a historian of technology in the MIT Program for Science, Technology, and Society. I am interested in the relationship of science, technology, and design to processes of political change, especially in Chilean history. I teach classes in areas such as data and society, the history and social studies of computing, and science, technology, and human rights. #histodons #sts #histsci #histtech #histSTM #LatinAmerica #humanrights #data

Gotta keep those tires on the ground!

Introduction round two in an attempt to ID if its a specific hashtag or my presence on the platform I won't name that triggered the deluge of abuse.

Hi, I'm Dani, amd early career quantitative ecologist who works on African wild dogs, global change ecology and conservation. Do a lot of #rstats #gis #modelling in my #climatechange and #ecology research.

I'm also a science communicator and author of #DoesItFart :D #scicomm

How in the heck do I follow a hashtag? I have two that show up in my preferences, and that seem to occasionally surface posts in my feed, but I can't remember how I put them there.
