Seen on a walk: this tree completely engulfing a fence.

The way Boston just plants trees right in the sidewalk and directly under power lines is astounding. We don’t really have other options, but still… wild!

Last month I was working out how to capture changes to gov websites for a workshop and landed on these little track changes tapestries.

I saw the CDC HIV site removed a ton of pages and information. I thought it was fishy…. And so it was!

This little tapestry captures the loss in a few lines.

A coworker and I are visiting a class tomorrow where students are doing digital projects for their final assignment. There isn’t a ton of time for full project updates, so instead we’re asking “on a scale of medieval cat, how are you feeling about your digital project?”

Enjoy this video of my dog and three golden retrievers in the snow.

Today @akijas.bsky.social and I did a workshop on analyzing historical documents with minimal computing methods (aka, TEI). We’re continuing to use LC collections that connect to Douglas’s Day on Fri.

Today we used colored pencils to encode a postcard from MLK to Rosa Parks.

Working on the DH buttons for my class visit Wednesday. I’m the guinea pig for our button template and guide.

I need to remake “everyone sucks at DH” because I suck at buttons!

Posted to my local Freecycle group and I’m screaming.

Held a crafting with data workshop today in the digital design studio. We used the African American Poetry data from @electrostani.bsky.social & @katehennessy.bsky.social to lightly explore data in python and craft physicalizations.

With the frame loom, I worked on change in poetic form over time.

At orientation and through the start of the year, we had students who visited the DDS map what they hoped to find at Tufts.

Taught about maps today, so I pulled out my maps blazer. Pic on my way to teach.

I have never incorporated @heatherfro.bsky.social ‘s “spreadsheets for humanists” in a workshop but boy am I glad I did. It was a last minute idea to add. Turns out we really needed it.

We hosted our first Digital Scholars studio hours today at Tufts. It’s meant to be a weekly time for working together, making things, and building community. I guess I was in a yarn mood, so started weaving a representation of top genres in my Spotify likes which you can get from exportify.net.
