It’s a thing, y’all. Printed it out for my final proofing read front to back. Working title right now is “Embedded Pedagogies: Digital Humanities Teaching and the Infrastructure of Change.”

Made playdough this morning and the toddler is unimpressed by my truck.

Specifically finalizing all these and moving a ton of books around. Did not build or paint them myself! But there was still a fair amount of stuff at the end required to get them all assembled.

Today’s #DHBakes - applesauce and oat muffins. Not featured - toddler helper who learned in realtime that uncooked oats are not tasty! Recipe from here - thehealthykidstable.com/applesauce-o...

It’s a gorgeous piece that you can find hanging in the DH Center!

Small things like wearing a shirt my toddler loves for teaching today.

Shout out to the hardware store guy who wanted to know where I got my truck shirt.

Pretty wild to be putting together a workshop on AI and text analysis and find copilot recommending @proghist.bsky.social

In-law's came over to watch the little guy so I could get away from some #DHCooks for a Labor Day hangout we have later tonight. Brownies by request and then this peach and feta summer salad recipe.

Spent the morning at @literaturegeek.bsky.social’s home press making a birthday card for mother-in-law. My toddler thinks of his grandparents as a set and gets confused when he sees only one of them. He repeatedly asks “more pa? More pa? Pa (come) back?? Two pa!”

Assume it will grow in the editing. But for now here is the table of contents (including a chapter on prestige that is tentatively tabled). The general structure is each chapter has three sections, each of which has three phases roughly the length of a substantial blog post.

Not sure when I accidentally committed this haunted train image to my repository but also feels appropriate for these days.

With thanks to @literaturegeek.bsky.social for hanging, the poster put together by last year's Praxis Program cohort as a part of their yearend sprint is in its new home. They did a mini-project on naming, satire, and power in The Yellow Journal, UVA's satirical newspaper.

Breaking social media baby blackout to share this update on how training the young one is going. Seen here learning how to gently pack books.

Another milestone today as I hit 55k words and finished up a draft of a chapter. On to the last one. It's a mess, but it's my mess. 🥰

60,000 words was the original goal but this is going to out more like 66k or so I think, based on how the other sections have been going.

Morning writing update is that I finished drafting another section from this chapter. Letting the writing go where it wants, which is leading to some weird places. Sneak peak of the section titles here from the chapter on "Intellectualism."

Just crossed the 50k word threshold for the book project. Creeping up there! Have backed off blogging for now to keep moving forward and quiet internal critics. But will hope to do more during the revision process. Tonight, shall celebrate.
