Some period tracking apps will share your data. Stay safe, use one from @fdroidorg without Internet permission.
Possible options are:
drip (safest!)
Periodical
log28
All of these apps don't ask for internet permission and thus can't share your data. Drip goes the extra mile and explicitly opts out of Android's backup framework so your data won't be backed up on Google servers.
Please boost for those who need it!
Two papers from students in my Social Computing grad seminar last Fall are coming out at CSCW this year.
I tried to do something like it with an undegrad class in the Spring but it didn't work as well.
I wonder if others have succeeded at turning undergrad classes into something that doesn't just end with the class.

I’ve recently been reading about trauma-informed research methods, and I wrote up a short blog post about what I’ve learned in case someone might find it useful: https://medium.com/@mary_ann_e/experimental-design-considerations-for-limiting-psychological-distress-d70d8f957007
I'm working on this blog post about the knowledge management problem we're trying to solve at my startup. Would love some feedback from hci.social before I publish this on Monday.

For context, I'm hoping it might attract interest/discussion among the productivity blogger community.
Also, I totally made up the three patterns here, but they feel right. If you know of any research I can point to, that would be a huge help.
I decided to pay to get rid of ads on YouTube through their Premium offering. The experience is great but $12/month feels expensive. However, that’s probably what they make on ads per user per month. It seem hard to imagine we’ll be able to move away from ad supported tech in the near future. The other alternatives are web3 or public-funded services.
Paul Slocum, software developer who has been curating, conserving, and selling digital art since 2006 wrote an excellent and extensive survey of the effects and problems in the takeover of networked culture by creepto-capital.
He couldn't find a suitable publication for his critical perspective which speaks volumes about the state of media institutions which made a name and raise funding precisely promoting the opposite values to those of blockchain culture and now are totally integrated and participating in the cultural and economic distortion described by Paul.
Do read and share widely.

Some organization has been paying to keep this up and it hasn't been removed from search results. Seems like two votes of confidence to me.

One of the most significant papers from Japan's sample return mission to asteroid Ryugu was published in Science today.
It's a monumental result, according to other planetary scientists. Essentially, we now have access to pristine materials from the very earliest days of the solar system, some 4.5ish billion years ago and we can study them on Earth.
A big deal.
