Slide says Generating Gender: "Selfies" generated with Midjourney by Schnelle Bunte Bilder, and shows a picture of a woman looking at the camera in distress with people in the background also in distress, between train cars.

@janakeck.bsky.social discusses representation of immigrants in the 1880's that were generated with Midjourney AI and featured in the American Dreams exhibition. Images referred to as "selfies" but no indication that is actually happening. All look straight at camera, like models. #MSUGlobalDH

A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.

2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,
