One of my students just described herself as 'a digital humanist in training' in her final paper (she also just declared the DH minor, so maybe she's feeling particularly confident in her development). Anyway, yay!

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

The dwarf irises and daffodils look like they’d be happy to

It was ever thus: minutes after grades come out one student who did a pretty lame final project emails to complain that he ended up with an A- rather than an A. I’d rather focus on the student who struggled all semester but knocked it out of the park on the final.
