    Helsingin Sanomat @hsfi published an article today about the misery of my dealings with the immigration bureaucracy, MIGRI Thanks @senjalarsen for highlighting this! I am not sure if Finns use the word “Kafkaesque” to describe these situations, but that would be accurate.

    Truth: @Wikipedia is strongly biased against women. I've tried to add female entrepreneurs- they were deleted for being insignificant while their male co-founders remained. My own credentials–honorary doctorates, Time Most Influential People–were deleted.
    Aspiring contributors gathered at Columbia College Chicago to learn how to write and edit articles on Wikipedia. The event was organized by Art+Feminism, a campaign to improve the site’s representation of women and nonbinary individuals.

    Finns. Was getting some pastries delivered by @woltapp and was wondering if you’d recommend the Apple Letters, Vanilla Weiner or Domestic Earplug? Maybe the Berlin Monk?

    IBM is using 14 of my photos. IBM says people can opt out, but is making it impossible to do so. Thanks @oliviasolon for this story. Facial Recognition is a big big ethical issue these days--Tomorrow's episode of @ShouldThisExist is on this very topic!

    And, conversely, why does Facebook make it so easy for researchers and analysts to access OUR data?

    Why does Facebook make it so hard for researchers and analysts to access their data? If Zuckerberg cares about transparency and has nothing to hide, he should make the data publicly available (and also make it easier to navigate the ad library, which is currently a nightmare).

    OH I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. I don't want to start any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number?
