Vicky Rampin (née Steeves) @VickyRampin@octodon.social

thank you back to everyone wishing Remi and I well after our marriage!! There are so many of you and we are so touched

HELLO! I used to be Vicky Steeves, then @remram44 and I got married, so now I'm Vicky Rampin, so I'm doing another #intro #introduction

I'm a librarian focusing on research reproducibility + research data management.
I gave an interview about me/my work: http://acrl.ala.org/dh/2018/04/04/repro/

I love FOSS, open access, open educational resources, open EVERYTHING

I hate the corporate capture of scholarship

I also love my super cute black cat Little Boss

Lazy web query -- are there any cultures where sharing food is NOT a major component?

may or may not have bought this e-ink open source smart watch that I just came across: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sqfmi/watchy

the automatic assumption that your PhD is worth more than our MLIS/MIS/years of experience is what pisses people off, SHOCKER!

There's a good thread about PhD havers in academic libraries on the birbsite: https://twitter.com/emilyhiggs24/status/1366922299560058881

when people get mad about PhD havers & GLAM work, I can guarantee you that it's the PhD havers who think they can walk in and do our job on day 1 and have no respect for the field and NOT just anyone who happens to have the degree. a lot of GLAM work is 2nd career for people and that's totally ok. the sad thing is in GLAMs, you get A LOT of the former PhD haver type & it hurts our work a lot.

information science is the umbrella term for a range of disciplines that include both data science and library science, as well as like health informatics, HCI, and some parts of archival science.

are you for/against this statement?

I don't remember what it's like to not be tired all the time.

just found a paper from undergrad where I argued weed should be legal based on John Stuart Mill’s principle of non-interference

I did have this good tidbit in there tho:

> Marijuana was made illegal federally in 1937, due mainly to racism.

happy women's history month, give us all raises

my software engineering professor is talking about 9/11 and I have no idea why 😥

I need to practice being kinder to myself big time
