I’m also designing and lasercutting my own new queer catchwords and cuts. And I hope to eventually combine these to scan some historical cuts, alter them in queer ways :D, and lasercut new queerer blocks.

I wrote a brief post about my queer letterpress block collecting & creating work, w/a photo gallery of some of what I've assembled: literaturegeek.com/queer-letter...

#DhMakes allowed me to rethink, see the information as a posibility, as a partial windows to look through the information again. Looking for understanding and not for perfection. Looking for time not for insane amount of data. Looking though the data window trying to understand the big picture

I guess thatΒ΄s part of thinking about #DHMakes. Sometimes I feel that my visuallizations has to be exact and perfect. I forgot that with Social Network Analysis visualizations, IΒ΄m trying to capture the social dynamic that I didnΒ΄t experiment. For that, data is partial in a way, imperfect

Oh, sorry! I’m going to use knightlab. I saw this cool example: storymap.knightlab.com/examples/bos... and I’m going to try with my piece, but first time doing it!

I’m co-chair with @taniaarabelle.bsky.social for the Symposium #DigitalDuende2025. I might be there the first week of December!

Tbh I don’t use fancy things. Depending on the threads and nails that you want to use, but literally you just need a hammer, scissors, tweezers and glue as tools. I could send you a list of materials if you want! Btw I’m going to Stanford in December!

#DHMakes Today I went to the Media Center at @cnucaptains.bsky.social for taking some photos and scan my piece! In this way, I can create a Storymap explaining all the different parts and the components!

#DhMakes after it, time to thread the edges legend! This is the process that I usually follow which each color. Instead of tying a knot with each nail, I make a first knot and wrap the rest around it. When I finish all the color, I make the second knot and glue it. TBH, the wrapping always relax me

#DHMakes for the edges legend, I measure the wood and made two marks with a pencil. Here I’m picking the nails and use a ruler to guide me

#DhMakes once I made my decision, I start the painting with my computer on the side, so I can check the nodes in Gephi.
