A fun thing about being a post-folklore Swiftocrat™️ who held the (TV) line means I got some new music by Taylor Swift today 😎

Pleased to share this article I co-wrote w my DCD colleague, Dr. Anna Mukamal, published in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Digital Engagement in Arts & Humanities (IDEAH)

We argue for the value of expansive critical making pedagogy in undergraduate DH programs

Some semesters you just need to close out with a day of art 🥰

A few highlights from #ArtFields2025 yesterday (my first visit but definitely becoming a yearly visit!)

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power.

Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

One really weird (and mostly fun) collab I’m in is our Space Program — a STEAM project where we + students build a cube-satellite that will orbit our coastline and enable various forms of data collection

Anyway we won the university-wide faculty innovation Award for Student Success

Listen I know it’s all bleak but my home county went blue for the first time probably ever yesterday & following Cory Booker & WI…I’ve got a something like hope coming through

YESSSSS
I want a jet ready to rush Cory Booker to South Carolina once he has broken the record so he can drop a microphone on Strom Thurmond's grave.

I want to make a punny inspirational sign and go to the senate floor to hold it up and cheer for Cory Booker’s finish, like they do for the last 0.2 of a marathon!

If ever there was a time for the overlong “this is more of a comment than a question” question, it’s now, in the Senate

For the #AcademicSky / #Severance Venn diagram:

I feel like I need to write about this show; anyone else?

Any CFPs / special issues / panels / edited collections / etc. out there? Is it time for something maybe?

Thoughts?

POV: you enter our humanities and fine arts building and are greeted by a brand new display in the entryway, featuring my students’ code & craft work from last semester’s special topics ☺️
