Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Pale blue flyer in the style of retro video game that reads "Calling all gamers! Do you have big feelings, positive or negative, about generative AI? Now is your chance to participate in a research study to share your thoughts." The link to the survey is tinyurl.com/videogameAIsurvey. The image has two trees on the bottom in each corner.

I'm conducting a research study to learn more about video game players' attitudes toward generative AI. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes of your time. tinyurl.com/videogameAIs...

@sarahmay1.bsky.social @angelapiccini.bsky.social @lizapotts.bsky.social One of you might know someone who could do something like this. :) Video games as digital/intangible (ish) heritage or something?

About to kickoff an entire year of research leave / sabbatical. Extremely excited and grateful to have this time to think after nonstop admin work for what feels like the totality of my academic career.

My work on digital culture was quoted in the same paragraph as @nancybaym.bsky.social. Grateful for her mentorship all those years ago. There's something so awesome about these moments, no matter how far along you are in your career. Shoutout to author Emília Barn. library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

Twitter The sometimes surprising, often humorous story of the forces that came together to shape the central role Twitter now plays in contemporary politics and cult...

Now might be a good time to mention that @nancybaym.bsky.social and I wrote a book about the early days of Twitter and how the platform and its culture changed, setting the scene for the Muskapocalypse.
We're older and wiser now, let's not make the same mistakes twice.
