I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry
Her: ...
Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin

If you know a #Google employee, ask them what they are doing to shut down Google Scholar. It is one of the few places on the Internet where calling a trans person by their deadname is standard and expected. The other places are hate sites and the New York Times.

I focus on the "shutting down Google Scholar" option now, more than the "listening to trans people" option. We know by now Google is terrible at listening to trans people that aren't Google FTEs, but they're very good at shutting things down.

The situation with the Software Heritage Archive might be improving, and they stopped deadnaming me in particular.

I don't want to give them credit for this until they document a process that _other_ trans software authors can use, but here are the updates:

I'm moving to kind.social. @arborelia@kind.social is me.

I haven't hit the button to redirect my account yet because I want to be absolutely sure.

@celesteh@lgbt.io you can change papers! NCPWG can help if you can’t figure out who to talk to, or if your publisher claims they don’t do that. Google Scholar, however, will down-rank the updated papers in its search results and keep auto-generating citations of your deadname for years.

@chloe@deepspace.gay From most preferred to highest recall:

something specific to your field (as an NLP researcher, I use aclanthology.org)
Internet Archive Scholar (scholar.archive.org)
Semantic Scholar (semanticscholar.org)

@ingram@mastodon.social I don't get credit for the web site, but I did work on getting IEEE to have a policy. And if all these publishers can figure something out, why can't Google?

@Kimiko_0@social.wxcafe.net @Maverynthia@dragon.style I have never been able to follow anyone on it. they use irresponsible blocklists that a small queer instance can never come back from.

@alice@lgbtqia.space @kritischelezer@mastodon.social Dang I wish I could see edited posts on Mastodon.

Horrific to hear that even the US subsidiary fell into transphobia.
