What worlds are possible from the ruins of Twitter? We wrote about the environmental footprint of social media hosting, wasting differently, and tinkering with Mastodon. Solar power and Pis will be set up. Yet, this is also a contribution that acknowledges the diverse knowledge that went into Mastodon and the Fediverse.
I am a historian of nuclear science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Inst & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.
Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.
I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.
I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.

In my academic life, I do a lot of computer modeling, and I'm a big fan of #SystemsDynamics thinking. I used to hang out with the #STS folks at Harvard, which has helped shape my thinking.
