3rd time this mo? I've recommended @briancassidy.bsky.social's RBS class. Understand how we got the word out—especially ourselves, owning means of textual (re)production & communication; for BIPoC, queer, politically targeted folks needing platform or privacy. + smell dittoes & print w/jelly!!
This wonderful white paper is worth a read if you care about teaching writing and research in any discipline. Up with AI-free zones!
The Price Lab’s Critical Approaches to AI Working Group has released a white paper in which we advocate for AI-free instruction in reading, writing, & research. These are fundamental skills in the humanities (& in general), & with decisive action we can keep teaching them well in the age of AI!
ahh this reminds me of the time my maker space colleague friends+my data science research assistant+I McGuyvered a cardboard PC box into shuttles for our portable rigid heddle loom 2 hrs before our South Asia Studies DH wrkshp to showcase histories of computation and materiality so more colours yay!
Volunteering with @ach.bsky.social @dhnow.bsky.social orgs is a way to pick up cross functional communication collaboration organizational administrative skills
forever barnacle-ing the @plach.bsky.social and @emgrumbach.bsky.social model of value driven kindness🙂↕️
We printed each #DigitalHumanities Center team member’s welcome sign on adhesive vinyl paper to create a wall mural to represent all of us. We’ll continue adding to this as new students join our team in the coming years #DHmakes
For our Search & Discovery class I'm 👀 for a pithy piece (article or podcast) that comprehensively + critically chronicles the decline of web search — SEO, link rot, AI summaries + ☠️ of click-through, AI slop, etc — but of course, thanks to search's brokenness, I can't find what I'm 👀 for! 😫
It's last-minute, but I'm giving a talk today about #DHmakes and craft and what the humanities can do in a crisis from 12:15-1:15 Pacific (3:15-4:15 Eastern). All are welcome, Zoom registration link below!

My experiments in joyful pedagogy resume today, my 1st day w a #DigitalHumanities class co-designed w an instructor & centered on learning thru experimentation, discovery, play and #DHtries. We’re gonna start the session w play+reflection & see where that leads. Hoping these will help set the tone
I'm thrilled to be co-chairing ACH2026 with @fronteriza956.bsky.social. The virtual conference's theme this year is Emergenci/a with a focus on transborder DH in the Americas. We've extended the deadline all the way to February 23rd, and we welcome proposals in English and Spanish!
Tomorrow I'm joining #MLA26. I wrote up what I'll share during virtual #s67 - "Writing in the Margins: The Freedom of Scholarly Work in Nondisciplinary Spaces."
Post is titled "Many Ways; Many Gifts." I talk about how my writing practice has changed as a new parent.

!!!!! exciting!
Students may end up being the only real bulwark against what is happening.
But, I know that not all students have the same power — the same exit threat. Student resistance will fall along institutional lines of privilege. Could hasten the marketization of non-elite schools.
The elites win.
We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Ever-wise Clay Shirkyon educational adaptations to AI. His critical point: Education's present methods are not from forever. We can adapt. I also wish for more positive pedagogical discussion about how to exploit AI in learning.
