For the 1st time ever, I didn't use slides or notes (other than some ideas for the digital experiences walk I typed on my phone as they came in). I was completely improvisational. I shared my sleep physicalization & showed my 30-day ❤️ monitor/companion phone to explicate how we're quantified/tracked

My first attempt to learn Python (in library school) was under Python 2, and it was beyond frustrating that the data I wanted to work with (Cyrillic) involved all kinds of elaborate workarounds to not get mangled from the start. I gave up for nearly a decade. #MultilingualDH

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

That's what I love about the subculture of @ach.bsky.social, AI is not expected or treated as synonymous with progress. There's the #DHmakes group that looks towards engaging with pre-computer tech in various ways, including understanding data differently. That's where my own interests lie now.

" @brettbobley.bsky.social: "You guys, Quinn made me a scarf." Having an AI event start that way — leading with what is, in some ways, its opposite — left me feeling like we are, in fact, on to something with #DHmakes." 🫡😤 that's right

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

As scholars and journalists start to write more about data center noise politics, I hope they'll consider the precedents — the history of noise abatement activism + regulation, the whole history of zoning (which is in large part about sensory regulation), etc.
