Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional!

AND there's a fundamental right to abortion!

We won!

(Though this Commonwealth Court opinion can be appealed - we'll see what our AG does.)

it’s the only real deterrent to AI in my college classes. Helmof a time investment, absolutely worth it. Talking to students about their ideas & expression is so good.

I can’t believe how many people on this pocket protector-ass website don’t know how to get around a paywall.

A 3” round sticker featuring a glittery hand-drawn disco ball reflecting the colors of the rainbow. A pink circle surrounds the disco ball, with “Digital Humanities Center” at the top and our URL at the bottom in yellow caps that evokes a computer font.

Our new stickers arrived!!! Created by our student employees and inspired by our new disco ball, it’s yet another reminder to seek joy and pleasure in our #DigitalHumanities work 🪩🤩

Not to be all YImby, but this used to be an abandoned warehouse (with a great whale mural!!) with a struggling kitchen remodeling business and a weird bar/cafe upstairs where you could play games by yourself cause nobody ever went there.

Hasn't been the greatest time here for the last while, and this is why. Hoping that justice can be done for my colleague.

Excited to be offering a pre-conf workshop with Lisa Boutin-Vitela all about envisioning DH at your teaching-focused institution. We're hoping this will be a helpful reset and dream big moment for a range of folks.

We get that quite often at my Uni, where virtually all meeting are zoom only for “accessibility”. Really looking to get a useful response to the notion that accessibility requires the loss of in-person community.

I taught at Wesleyan once. Not a whole course; one class. A gust lecture on Anselm & Aquinas. Grad student me was so prepared. The students- about 10 iirc- were hyper engaged. Stayed WAY after class to discuss. I ran out of stuff to say. Wanted em gone.

Ok so this is a good lesson on nostalgia's emphasis of certain things and erasure of others.
