I've been wanting to do something for a long time with my nursing log from when Khải was a baby. It's overwhelming and breathtaking! The yellow areas are when I was nursing... nearly ALL THE TIME! This is his first two months of his life.

Hoping to make it into drawings and embroidery.

Sundials (Morning Glory)

My parents gardened their whole lives, before it was cool. They grew out of necessity and to preserve memory and culture. One day, hopefully, Americans will catch up to ancestral knowledge held so deep. The unfixed Van Dyke changes with time, the silver stays the same.

Here are a few circuits made with components from the factories where my parents worked. My family and many other refugee, immigrant, brown, and black families built what is now Silicon Valley and the technological economic powerhouse of the US.

On view now at the MCA-SB Satellite Space.

Sometimes the random stream of words that comes out of my 5-year-old is pure poetry:

I remember.
I remember nothing.
I remember nothing except you.
I remember nothing.
I know nothing so I fart.

I got goosebumps looking through this catalog of the 50-year anniversary exhibition Vico's Spiral at the Center for Book Arts, which includes my five volume artist book, Reap the Whirlwind, produced with @forthebirdstrapped.bsky.social. Thank you CBA, artists' book makers, and readers. 🤓📚

I joined my university lecturer union recently. It's not perfect, but organized labor is going to be an important bulwark against exploitative practices.

Don't have a union? Get inspired by many workers who have unionized recently, from Starbucks to Amazon to the Art Institute of Chicago.

Hi, I'm Hương Ngô, an interdisciplinary artist and educator at UCSB. I'm currently working on a project using electronic components from the factories where my parents worked. I'm activating them here using a simple oscillator and power amp, then letting chance take over.

Lock it up, friends.
The wonderful @eff.org has an equally wonderful guide you can use to make it MUCH harder for Meta / Facebook / Instagram to collect and monetize your personal data. It's not super easy - offer to do this for family & neighbors who might not be able to: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data
If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...
