Cette photo est magnifique et on se réjouit avec vous 💜

J’allais sortir la tomate mais tu l’as sortie plus vite.

Yes, last night I was trying to remember some words that were already far back in my memory (penons 😆).

"This exhibition reframes women’s work, showcasing + celebrating the organizing labor that enabled groundbreaking film, video + community media collectives like Third World Newsreel, Paper Tiger TV, + Women Make Movies to pursue new forms of self expression and advocate for political change..."

And the human energy required to handle the sails, several people, and all the jumps to trim the sails. Do you confirm the overall impression? (This is so cool 🤩)

Since I discovered this summer that the Netherlands had a sailing school just for tall/historical ships…

Bon réflexe.

Some projects are long in the making because the questions are complex, the process iterative, and the answers not simple. The first batch of interventions from @britishacademy.bsky.social 'Global Disorders' is here - feat. a paper by yours truly 👇: www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/programmes/g...

Mais, mais, ça devrait être interdit. Qu'est-ce que l'univers peut t'envoyer pour se faire pardonner ?

Cette robe est magnifique sur toi (on veut une photo des boucles d’oreilles origami ❤️).

A burgeoning AI boycott plasters the NYC subway New Yorkers began vandalizing ads for dystopian AI products bombarding the city last fall, sparking a larger movement of AI rejection

“As tech giants force-feed AI inevitability marketing and trumpet the technology’s supposed benefits to society, a robust AI-resistance movement has emerged in response.”

Great visual design in the exhibition. They have produced a beautiful catalog of the 26 reinterpretated objects. They ask people to think about both positive & negative of technologies that are dependent on coal, oil or gas, and how we might do things differently.

Special congrats go to curators Nora Thorade & Eike Heine who have done a fantastic job.

[Poste ATER infocom, numérique] Au cas où ça peut intéresser : la campagne d'ATER est en cours chez nous (Poitiers) jusqu'au 3/03

Comme c'est un appel générique, il n'y a pas d'infos sur les postes. A priori, un poste devrait être rattaché au master dont je suis co-responsable (com numérique).

I sent this before a meeting, forgetting to include the text: we really liked the Mercure Faubourg Opéra, it must be even more beautiful in June. Brunch at Rose Bakery. Tea at Toraya. And for dinner, probably ramens on Rue Sainte-Anne.

Yes, the challenge is that I don't want to order another skein (mill in Ireland, €14 for the wool, €15 for postage), so I'm going to try again with fewer stitches, using the few hours I currently have available for knitting. We got this ✨

Photo of a knitter wearing a jumper she is knitting. The jumper is bright green with cables, only one sleeve has been knitted and is too wide.

Can we start a pity party? Here's my sleeve before unravelling. It's too wide and I don't have enough yarn, so unravelling is the most realistic solution. If I could help you remove the interfacing, I would gladly do so. It's so sad (and your embroidery is so beautiful).

J’ai beaucoup utilisé dans ma thèse “les personnes qui visitent un musée”, parce qu’en suite, “elles font des <activités>”, ça fait beaucoup d‘elles et c’est : satisfaisant 😈

La coloc avec la couturière ? (Les vraies infos.)

I can reply 👍🏻

Nos voisins des étages du dessous ne sont pas très fans de nos hirondelles mais comme on est les seuls à avoir accès aux nids, on leur fiche la paix. Après, ton toit, c’est plus pratique s’il ne se transforme pas en gruyère.

On a le même problème avec nos (5 🥰) nids d’hirondelles de fenêtre, habités par les moineaux en leur absence. Au final, elles le récupèrent chaque fois. Je croise les doigts pour tes martinets.

A lesson about networks that I’m kind of proud of: at the beginning of the year, I gave my 200 students a dumb survey: fav books, foods, etc. I told them they could use pseudonyms and that I’d share their responses with the class. We’ve been using that data in various ways: to make points about +
