You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

#DHmakes doesn't need to be advanced work, nor have anything to do w/DH (digital humanities)/your day job. Maybe you want to try some new art/craft in 2026? Or already do one & would enjoy supportive community? Please join us by using the hashtag! Feed of tagged posts here: tinyurl.com/dhmakesfeed +
#DHmakes is digital humanists (& other folks doing knowledge-work anywhere: library/academic-ish, or on your own!) sharing art/craft/making that has all or partial analog/physical components (ie not code/sites as those had more understanding/sharing in DH already). literaturegeek.com/2025/12/31/w...
I'm not even joking about knitting and letterpress and weaving and friends being the next evolutionary step for digital humanities tech. #DHmakes

I will certainly keep tinkering but the syllabus for this spring’s BookLab is 95% done
I’m excited to have more time for the final book projects, an expanded unit on making, & also to be adding a media archeology lab with the help of @drtlwagner.bsky.social

This semester I’m teaching my grad BookLab class for the 1st time as a twice-weekly meeting—to more cleanly divide the discussions & labs. One immediate advantage I see while planning the schedule is this makes it easier to assign videos/etc. as lab prep—they won’t get buried by the discussion texts
