I am an epic poet and a cartographer.
I write poetry under the umbrella title Astarian Scriptures for my pen name Surazeus Astarius.
I wrote an epic poem titled Science of Hermes or Hermead about the lives and ideas of 26 ancient philosophers in 126,680 lines of blank verse.
During the day I work as a cartographer, geospatial analyst, and simulation terrain developer.
Obey your corvidian overlords!

#introduction time!
I'm a #professor in #computerscience at the University of Manitoba in #Winnipeg. My research spans #HCI and #CSEd. I have three areas of focus in HCI: technology and #aging, #creativity (creativity support tools, measurement and arts+tech), and #virtualworld design.
I co-chair SIGCHI CARES. #cares
I am a #dog and #cat mom, and love #sewing, #baking, #cricut, #gardening. I love playing around with technology that lets me be creative, like #processing and #midjourney AI.
In #AdversarialML, targeted training set attacks are one of the biggest threats to #MachineLearning -- highly effective and hard to detect!
In a #NewPaper at #CCS2022 this week, Zayd Hammoudeh and I show how you can use #InfluenceEstimation to detect, understand, and stop these attacks!
Our methods work against backdoor and poisoning attacks, in vision/test/audio domains, and against adaptive attackers.
My fellow writers, I have submission calls for you: interview / book review / anthology opportunties.

@CardboardRobot there’s no algorithm like that here. Your home feed is literally just a chronological feed of everyone you follow. The local feed is the public posts of everyone on your instance. The “algorithm” here is social— if someone you follow boosts something, it shows up on your home feed, and if you’re interested you can go visit that persons profile and see if they’re someone you want to talk with. Likes only show up for you and the person who posted the thing. Welcome!
Indigenous people just existing is 'too political' for white people.
This indigenous woman was threatened with jail time for 'the political statement' of wearing her native clothing at the SCOTUS hearing today.
White people don't realize the 'unpolitical' status quo means our genocide.
We made an advent calendar of squid facts! It's sparkly as hell and chock full of squid facts. You scratch off the sparkly bits to reveal the squid facts each day!
To keep the squid facts project going, I periodically make squid facts merch, and this is one of those times.
Meg Mindlin, a fellow cephalopod scientist and freelance illustrator, designed them!

All right, an actual #introduction -
I’m Sabrina (S. Z. Attwell) and I’m the author of Aestus, an epic sci-fi dystopian series (can be read as complete, but working on the next bit; the first book was a 2021 Kindle Book Award Finalist). I am an SFWA member (huge deal to me thank God) and science writer. I also write silly alien stories, literary fiction, and more. I live in the Boston area and am studying German/I do photography for fun. I post lots of tree pics.
I’m very friendly, say hi!
I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.
This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.
You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!
I’ve been really lazy about this, but here’s my #introduction post
My name is Chelsea, but honestly call me pinky irl and I’ll still respond. I have my PhD in IT regarding redefining risk so that it can be calculated in automatically for small businesses. I work in #infosec in particular #dfir (more so the #IR portion) - currently as a mix of a SOC analyst and threat hunter. I also teach!
I love helping the community and volunteer as a staff member for #bsidessatx. As a result if you’re ever looking to get involved, I’ll be happy to point you the right way (but as always, no guarantees). I’ve also previously presented at Defcon Blue Team Village, SANS Blue Team Summit, and Texas Cyber Summit.
Outside of #infosec I spend a majority of my time playing #ffxiv
I’ve been considering talking about this more, as I don’t often discuss infosec due to a constant burn out and imposter syndrome.
I’m bisexual/pansexual (happy to identify as either) and a gray asexual which just keeps life interesting
I have currently she/her pronouns, although some days im leaning toward she/they
@cindymuir 🙌 Best of luck getting those words down for #NaNoWriMo! I have fallen behind quite shockingly 😬 But still, more words than I had on 31 October!
I have 2 openings for mid level SOC analysts on my team. If you are interested in working in an MDR environment with one of the best teams in the business, please apply or share with someone you think would be a great fit!
- US applicants only
- 100% remote
- Day shift 4-10 schedule

For those of you who are running cross-posters that copy everything over from Twitter ..
Please consider turning them off, flipping the direction (Mastodon->Twitter), or at least disabling RTs and mentions that insert a gazillion twitter dot com links into your feed here. (I don't follow such accounts, and I regret that, because some of them I would like to!)
That's part of making this the New Place and the other site the Old Haunted Place In Which The Mad Billionaire Yells Into The Void.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
