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.

Thank you to @apjanco.bsky.social for taking on the hat of #DHPublisher!!!

I’m proud to share the #DH2024 conference proceedings. This year we’ve chosen to celebrate the poster as a key part of the DH conference. zenodo.org/records/1592... #DH2025 @adho-org.bsky.social

Rows of colorful stitches in the shape of plants mostly on rainbow striped fabric

Hello there, little orange plant! You're a $34k grant from NEH-ODH to @nowviskie.bsky.social for Neatline: Facilitating Geospatial and Temporal Interpretation or Archival Collections in 2009. 🧡 #DHmakes #ACH2025

And to everyone who presented - thank you for continuing to do this work so well. #ACH2025

So extremely grateful for the entire @ach.bsky.social community. It’s so powerful spending time caring for each other, building solidarity, and desperately holding on to hope and joy. #ACH2025

A colorful grid of photos from the last 7 days of #DHmakes-tagged Bluesky tweets, including watercolor painting for sticker making, floor loom weaving, insomnia visualization embroidery, letterpress medieval dog printing, anti-tyrrany quilt design planning, quilt tapestry, ink drawing conference panels, and embroidering NEH ODH grants visualization.

Friday's #ACH2025 #DHmakes session sharing: @leoba.bsky.social Franken-Book of Hours (binding, remix, gold!); @readywriting.bsky.social's new 4 zines/5 days; @anindita.org's tiny embroideries; @jajrk.bsky.social's feast of a zine (w/spice as sculpture, gastropoetics+cooking, fabric dyeing...); +

A final shoutout to @wepm.bsky.social for making our #ACH2025 virtual world a space of community, solidarity, & play. The final dance party was EVERYTHING, especially after such a heavy day. Thanks @apjanco.bsky.social for being our fantastic DJ 👏. That's a wrap! @ach.bsky.social

Thank you, @ach.bsky.social #ACH2025 team & to everyone that participated in sessions this week to come together in a time where we need community more than, perhaps, ever! And thank you @audinyann.bsky.social for capturing the pure joy of the Work Adventure dance party! #ACH2025

Thank you to the amazing #ACH2025 Conference Team: @alexwermercolan.bsky.social @leoba.bsky.social @jajrk.bsky.social @wepm.bsky.social @plach.bsky.social @regan008.bsky.social @sferna.bsky.social, Andy Janco, Rebecca Foote, Kathy Torabi, and all ACH Exec and volunteers for making this event happen.

Really quick show off for the #DHMakes session

A fluffy tabby cat posing on a cutting board next to a shirt with a skeleton holding up a leaf, purple and black striped sleeves, and astrological print at the bottom. On the right is a shirt with a big phoenix panel and astrological print.

Me: Thursday night, gotta sit down to publish the next #DataSittersClub for #ACH2025.

Oldest kid: OK so can you make me a lich shirt for the last day of D&D camp? I have plans...

Bonus kid, sleeping over: Space Phoenix, maybe?

Me: 🤨 Yeah fine I can't say no to this. #DHmakes

Bite Size Command Line!

... The Complete Guide to Lock Picking, the magic of taking one's students to special collections, delightful zines to help you with programming wizardzines.com/zines/bite-s..., the little-known B-side hit single from Frozen AND a mise en abîme cover #DHMakes #ACH2025

Can confirm @anasalter.bsky.social's game is hilarious ("Decolonize the mainframe"). Plus the retro styling of the graphics is *chef's kiss*. We were treated to a demo of distant coding too in which, in about 3 and a half minutes, they built the basics of an escape room text adventure game #ACH2025

Starting the final day of #ACH2025 listening to @triproftri.bsky.social and Christina Mune reflect on the importance and possibilities for funding #DigitalHumanities in our current climate: “When we are in the position to rebuild…” (Session 15A)

I'm really enjoying this virtual conference platform for #ACH2025.

Slide with plant dying and language from NEH grant termination email.

Props to Christina Mune for talking about the awful feeling of getting an NEH grant termination, and hearing that the project you've been working on for years has to go in order to safeguard the federal government and this is an urgent priority. #ACH2025
