Lansing, MI protest and march today. Good crowd, a bit diminished from a couple of weeks ago, (thinking holiday weekend might have an impact) but even so, at least a couple of thousand. #50501

A little late, but just planted some Acapulco Gold!
Three red solo cups filled with soil that all have Acapulco Gold 4/10 written on them sit under a grow light on a bamboo shelf with a metal shelf surface.

Slide says: Looking Forward and Conclusion. "As a member of a marginalized community, DHSO has been empowering me to invent new methodologies of intersectionality in the field, while bringing stories from my own community. The numerous events organized by the society provide me opportunities to get feedback on my ongoing projects and reevaluate those methodologies. I believe this society has the potential to minimize technological inequalities and enhance diversity in DH." *Supporting diverse student perpectives *DHSO creating inclusive spaces for diverse perspectives *Mozilla partnership addressing technological inequalities *TBDH support with national and international exchange program *Sharing student-led DH models with other institutions *Filling gaps in formal DH education

@gimenadelr.bsky.social describes the frustration of students in #DH classes, including a sense that what they are working on is small in comparison to perceived "big" DH projects. #MSUGlobalDH
Slide shows a large frustration emoji and is titled DH frustrarion. Bullet s on the side say -Very little of the technical aspects of a DH project can be taught in a DH class. - Student involvement in projects: worker or researcher? - Small DH/Big DH. -Reproducibility.

We see a bunch of deer where we live, but only very occasionally do we see bucks. This guy was posing for the camera, so couldn’t resist the opportunity!
