  My child getting braces a week after Halloween and therefore not being allowed to eat most of the candy might be the greatest thing to ever happen to Halloween.

  I don’t have the energy for this new thing.

  I’m finding waking up and checking mastodon to be a bit like walking in the local coffee shop in the morning in all the best ways.

  @leo okay I found my first real need for a quote toot. Feels weird to do this in replies but @andresmh is there any way to support the HCI.social server directly?

• Post #2916227

  @andresmh oops I missed a lot of conversation. I didn’t actually mean please make quote tweet (though great if people do). I meant, how do we pay you to help maintain our server? :)

  @malte @andresmh yes @malte is correct. I was just noting that a qt would have been my more natural way to ask you how to help given the other toot. Anywho….. what about those of us with no expertise and even less time? I just don’t want to freeload off your generosity too much but realistically haven’t built my own server for anything other than Minecraft in years, so I’m not sure how much help I can be.

  Flashing back to the amazing panel I got to be a part of for the #LATimes #InspirationalWomen event. We talked mentoring, retention, and supporting all who identify as women. You can read the magazine online at https://www.latimes.com/b2bpublishing

  @natematias@octodon.social @mixedlinguist @alex @emilymbender it may be personal preference but I like the long letters. My favorites are ones with very clear paragraph structures that possibly even have subheadings or bonded parts so I can quickly find nuggets but read for more context in those that I need/want.

  My kids outgrew wanting to be in the bathroom with me just in time for our dog to decide I absolutely can never be alone under any circumstances.

  It’s time for me to start harassing @jbigham with all my students’ milestones on a new platform. Congratulations to Lucretia Williams for passing her proposal today!

  I never did a proper #introduction when I moved to mastodon. #ucirvine posted my “what matters to me and why” talk though, and it’s a pretty good intro. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qj72Mr2Caac In short, I’m a failed biologist turned computer scientist turned vice provost who deeply believes that literally everything can be made better and that we all, every one of us, has a responsibility to make it better in whatever small way we can. It was a lovely way to reflect on my life and career.
