Oh right. #introduction Dorothea, librarian, LIS educator (for now; I'm kinda looking tbh), former scholcommer and research-data person, privacy hawk, bicycle rider, figure-skating fan, Good Omens fan, Cat Person.

In response to a (knowing) "Who Assesses the Assessment Librarians" on Mokum, I quipped "Truth, Freedom, Privacy, Reasonably Applied Statistics, and a Hard-Boiled Egg"
and now I want to write the article for which that would be a reasonable title.
Maybe if I get around to what I provisionally titled "Library Value Agenda Considered Unethical" that would work.
... oh, wait, I looked yesterday and I actually don't need to do a separate lecture for that.
Good. Striking it off the list.
Hey folks working on #Fediverse projects like #Mastodon, #PixelFed, #WriteAs: I'm a writer who's spent 20 years writing blog posts, documentation, product copy, social media, and a little UX writing for a variety of orgs large and small.
Recent work involves the Bear notes app, previously: 1Password.
I can't contribute as a dev, but I can definitely help write, edit, or just polish your user-facing comms.
Can anyone help get this in front of relevant folks? Or point out how I can reach them?

Remote learning apps tracked kids for ads - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/24/remote-school-app-tracking-privacy/

Dagnabbit, I forgot about LIS Journals Behaving Badly. I sure do want to write that one. @CayceP you still up for it?

Also, linked-data infrastructure continues to be total and absolute SHITE. I continue to fail to care how many ontologies get built if nothing useful gets built atop them.
dang, my notes for "PEP II: The PEPpening" are 🔥 🔥 🔥. I really should write that one.
"Want #CS4All? Acknowledge #CSTaughtByAll" (intended as a CACM opinion piece) is also good.
Librarian, educator, jack-of-all-trades. Mutinous librarian. She/her. Bergholt Stuttley Johnson designed my notional machine. Ethicists are scalpels; I am a buster sword.
