I’m a professor of digital humanities with a keen interest in user experience and many things medieval. I have two Irish Red and White Setters, who I’m passionate about. Most weekends you can find me hiking with my dogs in the mountains near my house.
Had to know this was coming, but I have to admit that I’d hoped the NEH & ODH would be insignificant enough to Musk and his minions that it would be overlooked. The humanities are already so underfunded the thought of having budgets and programs slashed is gut-wrenching.
ACH has confirmed reports that DOGE is at the NEH. Chair Shelly C. Lowe has been replaced by Acting Chair Michael McDonald. ACH remains committed to a diverse, inclusive, and supportive DH. To engage in advocacy efforts: secretary@ach.org. Read our statement of support for NEH: buff.ly/bQeRaGw

My baby hasn’t started or been on the road for almost 6 months, but she’s finally on the way to the shop to find out how much it’ll cost to get her road-worthy again!

I never thought I’d see an indoor women’s professional version of my sport (volleyball) and right now there are 2! I’m enjoying for my first time at a LOVB Salt Lake Match!

I knew it was bad, but this letter from Caroline Kennedy lays it bare. RFK isn’t fit to run a dog kennel let alone a major government agency.

This was good for a laugh this morning.
This is Fudge. She may not be the sharpest pup in the world, but more importantly, she is not a quitter. 13/10

Here I was thinking I could get through the next 4 years by just holding my nose, putting my head down, and persevering. I mean seriously…withholding funds for school lunches, medical coverage for vets, and wild fire prevention? I don’t even want to guess what’s next!

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."
Trump's intentional avalanche of garbage
Just because we knew the deluge was coming...doesn't make it any less alarming to behold
