Thank you, @roopikarisam.bsky.social, for your closing words for #DH2025: 'the future of DH requires access grounded in accountability; repair sustained by care; scholarship driven by solidarity'
And also, 'hope and strategy are very important things to hold onto right now'

It's hard to say what was most inspiring in a truly momentous talk full of many, many moments. But I was first touched when you said that giving a DH keynote had been a career-long dream of yours.
It was our collective dream as well, Roopsi. Thank you for fulfilling it with such style. 💜

“Automation bias” is when people believe the output of a machine is accurate simply because it’s a machine. What is the term for when people “believe” the output of a gen ai image despite knowing it to be computer generated? www.404media.co/i-loved-that...
