As a law prof whose tenure file the faculty will vote on this fall (and who is already somewhat suspect because I'm faculty), maybe it's not my best look that my most cited article (by FAR) is on the ethics of using gender as a variable in natural-language processing research and practice—with nary a mention of the law? Please cross your fingers for me... aclanthology.org/W17-1601/

@WalkWalkWalk @gord This is a good point: "there is some social good to following those activists and leaders who are bettering the world". Thinking more on that.

@design_law I'm not sure there is an expected way. I don't list on my but on here is how I list my

@djsziff Could you build on the Indigo Book (which is free and on the web and, at least as I understand it, produces BB-compliant citations? Or do you want something shorter and simpler overall?

ASK! I'm starting a new project: I hope to help update Washington's citation rules. Right now, we have the Style Sheet: courts.wa.gov/appellate_trial_

Instead of the Style Sheet, I'd like to create a stand-alone guide that's: (1) easy to understand for the public and (2) not Bluebook reliant.

Needing a Twitter/Mastodon pep talk.... I set up a Mastodon acct, have followed some folks and have some followers. I like the interactions on Mastodon better than on Twitter. But many folks I follow on Twitter to keep up with various things are not on Mastodon. So... I'd rather not have to keep up on 2 SM platforms where before I kept up with only 1. Your thoughts on my choices: (a) Drop Twitter and risk missing out on stuff important to me? (b) Drop Mastodon and miss out on better (...)

Somehow, I was the #12 most downloaded law professor on SSRN in 2022. Go figure.
