Should I create a LinkedIn profile? I miss Twitter, and I can't figure out where the action is in Bluesky or Mastodon 😅

I accidentally said no to a ResearchGate full-text request from yesterday. Sorry to whomever asked me for the paper. In the weird case you're seeing this, the paper (from last year) is open access so you can find it in the official repo :) dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
Using and Appropriating Technology to Support The Menopause Journey in the UK | Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

some little bluesky tips 🦋

your blocks, likes, lists, and just about everything except chats are PUBLIC

you can pin custom feeds; i like quiet posters, best of follows, mutuals, mentions

if your chronological feed is overwhelming, you can make and pin make a personal list of "unmissable" people

Today was a special day at our Interaction Design team in MID, KTH, with the news of 15 papers conditionally accepted to #chi2025, and some that didn't make it to round 2 or to acceptance but that were hard work and lots of learning!

Our paper "Doing the Feminist Work in AI: Reflections from an AI Project in Latin America" was conditionally accepted to #chi2025 in Japan. With Ivana, Carolina, Yasmín and Mailén from DataGénero NGO, Julián, Raul from CollectiveAI co-op, and Luciano and Santiago. Sooo happy! 🤩

Random recommendation for bookish people trying to avoid Amazon products - you might want to try TheStoryGraph for a different way of finding and tracking your readings (and, you can import your Goodreads data!)

Getting an audiobook subscription is probably one of the best decisions I made lately! ✨ Currently enjoying Haraway's Staying with the trouble - Recently re-read Broussard's Artificial Unintelligence, and managed to finish Don Quijote after (too) many years
