Some of the time I'm a researcher in human-machine communication (#HMC). Up to November 2024 I taught #WebComms and #WritingOnTheWeb. My research is listed and linked from the About on my website. Email me or ask me here if there is anything I've written that you'd like to read. Still finding out who I am and who I'll become: my posting here reflects that process.

Time for me to send another email asking politicians to protect Scott Reef in Western Australia. If you want to do that as well then here's a link: https://www.ccwa.org.au/save-scott-reef (I altered/extended the suggested email wording with points of my own, which I'm happy to share if anyone's interested).

Guilty of marking this as “read it later” because I want to read it again before deciding how to respond: https://www.joanwestenberg.com/a-metabolic-workspace/ (by @Daojoan)

A blogpost from @Daojoan on #WritingOnTheWeb and why to write a blog (something I do, although the reader I’m writing for mostly feels like future me): https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-case-for-blogging-in-the-ruins/

@scroeser true, but I carried on thinking about it for a few months after I finished! Mostly over those feels now. We need to catch up sometime. I miss you.

@scroeser not that inspiring… I spent months thinking about teaching and how to instill more students with the desire to learn things rather than get things done, feeling I’d failed
