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

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

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

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
