Today on Trans Day of Remembrance we mourn the lives of trans people lost to violence. The victims in the US in 2022, those identified by the Human Rights Campaign, were disproportionately Black, disproportionately women. Most were killed with firearms.

We also mourn the lives of victims murdered last night at a queer nightclub in Colorado Springs.

Honor these lives. Fight transphobia and racism and homophobia. Control our gun violence epidemic. Protect and celebrate the lives of queer folks!

Hello! Very much looking forward to starting a new chapter here. Browsing through an old box in the garage just now, I found these, and for some reason I thought it would make an appropriate first post. My 1990's computing history.

Since the holidays are coming up, I’d like to remind everyone who is thinking of getting a #pet to please consider #adoption from a local shelter. Most of them are likely already at capacity and they usually receive an influx in strays and take-ins once the “cuteness” wears off and people realize just how much of a responsibility it is to take care of them.

Feeling a little down today, but Ari is always here to warm my heart. Here’s a pic of her with her favorite rainbow toy:

I think I have the world's most patient cat. Granted, he got ticked off and left both times. But I still think he wins the prize. #catsofmastodon

What a stunning week of sunrises it has been, but this #sunrise is my favourite. Such mood, much rawr!

A quick introduction:

I am a historian of international organizations and I am interested in the impact of digital technologies on our research practices.

A specialist in network analysis applied to history, I also teach data visualization, both historical and non-historical.

Swiss, traveler, cat lover, digital humanist, I loved blogging and micro-blogging, so I'm looking forward to Mastodon.

I've noticed some of you like horses. I have material for you too! I think one of these horses was enjoying themselves more than the other.

Halloween Pennant dragonflies (Celithemis eponina) are one of my favorite insects to photograph. Sometimes they allow you photograph them for hours. #dragonfly #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography

Hey NIHDirector and Mike Lauer--are you on here? --I hope you paying attention to the UC strike. If you had not noticed yet, the pay of grad students and postdocs is way too low, and the minimum NIH grant hasn't increased for decades. We need to pay our students and postdocs more, both because its right (most important) and because otherwise no one will do this any more (reality).

Top notch science #cartoon by the late Martin Perscheid.

My own morale dilemma is conflicting.

A proud Welsh man wanting to support my team in a #WorldCup for the first time in my life yet even if I wanted to go the host could punish me with up to 7yrs in prison for simply existing.

Should I feel guilt for watching it?

Thank goodness they explained what a sandwich is #pokemon

Article in Science Advances showing that higher levels of productivity at elite institutions is "largely explained by their substantial labor advantage rather than inherent differences in talent".

Lines up with my personal experience tbh.
