I personally would now bet on wearable tech that somehow uses an electromagnetic field or something otherwise clever to disrupt this sort of nonsense. I want an art student to design a bracelet or otherwise lovely thing that projects an image of my choice whenever one of these things looks at me.
FYI, I've seen in a quilt group before that this book has a lot of errata to it, and there are facebook groups dedicated to it! I hope it goes well and she loves it!
Hello. I was thinking about Jesus, actually. Not my fault some people feel accused.

I’m just glad I ordered the right number of paper pieces! Or at least I figured out how to make it work with only a few leftovers!
A pile of 2-inch english paper pieced triangles pieced from 1-inch triangles in blues, greens, and neutral fabrics. Then a large 8-inch triangle pieced symmetrically from 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch triangles
A selection of the 2-inch triangles pieced from the 1-inch triangles in blues, green, and cool neutrals, often with metallic accents. Some fabrics have an ocean or water theme.
An index card with the pythagorean theorem and other math to figure out the areas of different sized equilateral triangles
The other side of the index card with math figuring out how many units of the 1, 2, and 4 inch triangles can make the 8-inch triangles and the total potential area (2 and an eighth square yards)
I’ve realized that I’ve become the person they write math problems about: “If Alex has 1200 1-inch 🔺, 900 2-inch 🔺, and 100 4-inch 🔺, how big of a quilt can she make?”
But I’ve got 600/1200 1-inch triangles glue basted, and 272 sewn into 2-inch triangles. Progress!

I read your email without initially clocking the sender, thought "Ooo Ellen would know!", and then realized *you* were the one that sent the email! 😂
The Women's Print History Project collects bibliographic data on printed objects associated with women's production. I've been itching to query the data not limited by the UI, and ✨ I finally get to ✨ Here are some things I've been able to surface...

Critical and Reparative Cataloguing literally changing the world!! 🗂️📜📚🗃️
Elaborate title to a plan of Glasgow Green and nearby coal workings (1828). At least it doesn't contain any Comic Sans.
I know lithographers who use consistent typefaces, and they're all cowards.
I love that they also realized people would have this objection and have “We know pterodactyls and pleiosaurs aren’t dinosaurs” in fine print. But pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs in the way that Pluto isn’t a planet. Yeah sure scientifically theyre not but they are on vibes
FRBR, my desk ankylosaurus, is very saddened by this result
Exactly 💯
Ok crafty friends of #DHmakes, whether or not you have anything to do with digital humanities, kindly take a moment and fill out this form to vote for #DHmakes in the annual DH Awards! Please and thank you! 🧶 🧵
Actually, you know the perfect person would be one of my two London chaplains. Former southern baptist & converted, worked for the state department, became a diocesan priest, and then became a Benedictine monk. evangelicals, the feds, diocesan priests, & monks all in one! & a doctorate in something!
Somehow I have managed in life that *all* the converts I personally know are actually normal. My undergrad chaplain could probably write a pretty decent one!
I think all the Catholic converts who turned out normal should be given a medal or some sort of plenary indulgence
a hundred and eleventy thousand percent! plus, like, randomly attacking boats in the ocean and your own cities, but who's counting?
I appreciate you and everyone else keeping me up to date on the ever growing saga of the cheeto and his minions vs. the pope
Him arguing about just war theory with a guy who has a doctorate in canon law is the philosophy bro of philosophy bros
If you have planned an exhibit—particularly in your university library or similar—what advice would you give to someone who is at the beginning stages of logistics? What do you wish you had known at the beginning or wish you had done differently?
Drop your crime fighting Catholics.
The thread is *still* going and still delightful! Ranging from people that went to W&M in the 1970s up to the 2020s!
I would like to chime in in favor of luxuriously long and delicious footnotes. Spill your tea, give me your academic drama, tell me why you intentionally left so-an-so out, tell why we should look more at such-and-such. Take up an entire page with a footnote.
It's what NZD would have wanted from us
And maybe I'll add quilting in a frame to my personal list
I found a good post about it here for any other #DHmakes people:

I now feel justified in keeping my box of DIY paper making materials that I haven't had time to do things with yet. I got a bunch of stuff to make myself a couple of moulds and a press last summer, but the pesky dissertation gets in the way!!!
#BookHistory people, we gotta join forces with #DHmakes to take care of paper, parchment, and vellum making!
Woo! I saw some cool data visualizations recently of the work done in his first hundred days and I thought, “Did Claudia do this??”
As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means
