i'm amazed at your ability to integrate diagonal fabric patches so expertly into some of the dresses. your patchwork 😍
translating my skills into resumes and cover letters got me thinking about breadth and deph in DH, of how they need each other, and how they reflect our individual learning process. wrote a blog post about it. scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu/blog/breadth...
hope it turns up soon!
“By using GenAI:
I accept the models were trained on stolen data.
I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers.
I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models.
I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company.
I accept …”
Next week's a unique quiet one before the feast of last-month-of-term events kicks off: join us Wed 4/1 for delicious Lab-made coffee & our @shane.logoff.website sharing his research into OCR benchmarking: comparing how well various models turn photos/scans of text into transcriptions of text:

OPEN UNTIL 01 APRIL 2026 We are now commissioning texts for a small-format, collaborative publication exploring the intersection of craft practices and disability - challenging dominant narratives of ability, productivity and inheritance in craft." -Ache & Common Threads Press
Common Threads Press call for nonfic writing+art on craft+disability: "often romanticised as therapeutic, relaxing, universal, but whose hands, bodies, rhythms are centered? Disability offers radical reimaginings of craft..." (pays you $200) www.commonthreadspress.co.uk/pages/submis... #DHmakes
I wrote up the talk I gave at CESTA a couple weeks ago, on how we're overdue on changing the narrative about what digital humanities prepares students for. It's not fallback jobs in tech, it's getting involved in your community in moments of crisis. And craft helps build those skills. #DHmakes

el chiste se cuenta solo 😂
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
trial and error is the DH way! they still look really pretty ✨💪
If there are scholarly ethics concerns with asking an LLM to write a journal article, those same concerns should apply to asking an LLM to write the code that the article is about.
My #DHmakes sleep viz is framed/ready for action, thx to my partner’s woodworking skills! I’m using this in a #DigitalHumanities class where students will create a personalized dataset to play w in a range of tools. They’ll encounter friction/“failure” trying to get their data to work in some tools.

Oh my word. 😍 @jenniferisasi.bsky.social has completely outdone herself with this incredible Textile Makerspace / YarnLab Lego set. Sewing machine! Knitting needles! Yarn! Dr Cheese Bones with DH-WoGeM hat! And Lego me with, honestly, a pretty realistic look on my face. #DHmakes
I channeled my anxiety this year into frantically blogging at a pace that was both fruitful and unsustainable. I’m going to chill out for the next few weeks while I try to wrap up work on this book manuscript. But here are a few of my favorite posts this year from the 45 (!?) that I put out.
here's a blog of trying to heal some of my own grad school trauma, and hopefully others, through the Scholars' Lab internship~
cannot wait to read this 😍
