For those unfamiliar with #crisisinformatics - I’d like to take this opportunity to highlight the great work done by @katestarbird@twitter.com on how information systems shape social action in the context of disasters.

**Collective information science** #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.

**Complexity science**
#complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...

**Critical technology**
A critical approach to #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.

Why would that be? Domyou mean to say that mastodon wont be powerful enough to power #CrisisInformatics?

I've been here for a while, but time for a re- #introduction:

I'm Scott or Vortex Egg, and I'm a cursed librarian. I work at the intersection of #technology, #informationscience, and #collectivebehavior on mitigating informational harms and violent extremism. I am currently pursuing an MLIS degree and am employed as the tech lead of a related nonprofit.

My work and research touch on:

**Digital extremism**
The influence of digital technologies, #misinformation, #propaganda, and #informationoperations on the emergence of #cults, #conspiracytheories, and #terrorism and violent #extremism.

**Cursed library science**
The management of harmful information, #contentmoderation and #TrustAndSafety, #digitalarchiving & #digitalpreservation, and #research methods for #cursedknowledge.

**Collective information science**
Theories of collective #informationbehavior, including #sensemaking, #crisisinformatics and #rumoring, the dynamics of #informationecosystems, and corrupted and stigmatized #informationseeking.

**Complexity science**
My work is informed by a qualitative and applied approach to #complexityscience, #systemsthinking, and #complexsystems as well as...

**Critical technology**
A critical and analytical perspective on #sociotechnical systems, #surveillance and #algorithms, #cybernetics, and #swarmintelligence.

I should post an introduction!

I am a researcher at the meeting point of the bleeding edge, the past we've wounded for said edge, and disaster.

I am currently working to better integrate technology with emergency management and disaster so that #hci and #crisisinformatics can get noticed.

This work falls into #sts, #csed, #cscw, #emergencymanagement, #hci, #roleplaying, #nonaturaldiasters, and a bunch more.

2022 has been the year of working on my mental health for the first time in 44 years
