As promised, the story of 2024. It begins in December 2023, when, after an ice storm, the trees of Montreal are covered a beautiful sheen of ice. That morning, I sign off as a committee member on a thesis proposal critiquing environmentalists' overemphasis on trees. (1/)

Did my starter packs today. Disabled writers but no disabled artists and/or musicians? And media studies is bewildering (I am maybe being picky) and there is no Science and Technology Studies starter pack yet. C'est la vie. At least there's a sound studies starter pack.

So this is going to be a thing now for academics? I'll give it another try.

Just declined a review request for a paper using eye-tracking technology to label people as depressed through a "complete machine learning pipeline." #ablistAI

Shocking news of the day: 25% of students surveyed in my Zoom class said they were nostalgic for Zoom classes. I am amazed that it was that high. I am not nostalgic and expect to resume in person on Tuesday now that my Covid seems be abating.

Me and my to-do list.

TFW when you're sitting in the pharmacy waiting to talk to the pharmacist, silently cursing the place, and composing a promotion letter full of superlatives in your head for someone, all at the same time.

Tap tap is this thing on? Will I be better at organizing my feed here than on Mastodon?
