It’s pretty cool! You just next rest of fabrics and a foam box. The one that we used for the workshop has like tape too, so apart of scraping it, it gets glue

Yes! It’s kinusaiga. There is a craft place close to my house and they are doing workshops, so I stopped by!

After a great conversation with @quinnanya.me , I decided that helping with the tools the university already pays for matters more than sticking perfectly to my ideals. With so little time, I also have to be honest about what I can actually manage.

Another sticking point has been choosing ArcGIS when I’d hoped to use an open-access tool. That compromise has been harder for me than I expected.

I’ve had so many doubts about how to do all this, and a real fear of not doing the project justice. Of course, fear about the hispanic and latino community and how to procet their data, how to train my students to work with them and all the administration at CNU...

Meanwhile, we worked with the nonprofit Prosperar to create a map showing the ZIP codes of the families they serve. It’s exciting to see these collaborations take shape and think how our digital work can support community partners. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/b6b6...

My students in the uper level Spanish conversation class are bringing so much enthusiasm, too! They’re sharing design ideas, imagining how everything should come together, and wanting to get more involved in work with the community. Their energy keeps me going at this point.

Despite being absolutely exhausted, I think E2A is helping me rediscover my excitement about so many things. Recently, we interviewed the liaison between the Newport News police and the local Latino community. A reminder of why this project with my students matters.

So, any recommendations for Omeka tutorials or lessons, especially on themes and customization? I usually work with GitHub, and I’m trying to learn my way around Omeka without tearing all my hair out. Send help (and links)! 4/4

After much wrestling, we’ve landed on Omeka for both the lab website and the project archive. I see the potential, but aesthetically… sometimes it hurts my soul 😂 3/4

Within the lab, I’m the project manager for Entre dos aguas: Stories of Tidewater Latinos. In my Spanish in the Digital Era class, we’ll work with the local Latino community and one non profit to build a digital archive together! (Gritito en español) And of course, more cute logos 2/4

Dear colleagues, I’ve been very quiet here! Between teaching FIVE classes (thanks, CNU budget cuts 🙃) and building the infrastructure for CEDAR Lab (Community Engagement Digital Archive and Research) with a colleague, it’s been… a lot, but quite cute logo I did 1/4

Towards my quest to write five blog posts this month, I wrote up some musings on the two DH conferences I attended this summer and where different pieces of the community are going.

I feel like a bad influencers and tbh I’m still pretty shy speaking in English. I guess I feel more protected in English because it allows me to have like a distance with my emotions that makes these things easier. However, I still feel dumber in English. Full contradiction here 🤦‍♀️

Well, here my humble attempt to edit videos for #StringDataArt and #DhMakes process. This short videos focused on the projecting part and I added bilingual captions

"my neighbor" is in a horizontal blue-red gadget with faint striping, and "pee" is in a light blue to pink grant. There is a pink and blue gradient brayer border on the top and bottom of the print.Photo of a letterpress print on 3 sheets of chipboard paper with dark blue-purple ink on most words.

I was thinking exactly the same hahahah plus I’m neurodivergent, so I always need to go easy because my concept of time can change quite a lot depending on the days 🤣🤣🤣 sometimes I forgot that unless I’m in hyper focused mood, things take the time they take lol

Well, if vote for Callie Croqueta, you would need to deal with her bites. She looks all sweet, but she likes to plays rough lol she would make everyone play with her in between and during jobs

Eso sería todo un reto, en mi vida he creado ninguna herramienta jajaja pero quién sabe.Lo que sí estoy es diseñando una clase nueva que es Spanish in the Digital Era with the community para ver cómo las herramientas digitales pueden ayudar a la comunidad hispana de la zona, ver proyectos de HD

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
También hay “clientes” que vienen por primera vez y hay que explicarles todo el sistema. Además dependiendo de lo que llega al banco de alimentos pues hay más o menos cosas y puede cambiar todo el asunto. Entonces bueno, estoy pensando en esos momentos en los que no hay unx hispanohablante

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
Dependiendo del color de las pinzas cuando van haciendo como su compra, pueden coger más o menos productos de cada sección para hacer el proceso más humano. Sin embargo, a veces pues la gente se confunde, hace falta explicarles cosas o hay productos como pañales que tienen que pedir, etc.

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
Mmm me gusta la idea del pictionario, pero en este caso no se sería necesario. La organización tiene varias partes y una de ellas es un banco de alimentos que está diseñado como si fuera un súper. Entonces hay carritos de la compra y cada persona tiene una tarjeta con unas pinzas de colores

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Mm but then even if they’re in person, they would need to be chatting between them, I guess. Not sure how this can be use in real life when the two person are at the same room and make a difference between writing between them on an online translator. Not a critique at all, just thinking out loud
110
Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Mmm it doesn’t look like that. It looks like an exchange language app For the volunteering, still the main thing is that someone speak English and the other Spanish, so the subtitles wouldn’t be enough unfortunately
100
Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Well when I uploaded it, it only allowed me to chat with other people, but there isn’t any direct translation on it, so I’m confused myself lol! Thanks
100
Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
2 the main thing is that we could have the volunteers that speaks English, not that anyone wouldn’t be there, so I’m not sure if these would work! Thaaaanks so much for the suggestion
010
Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Im curious about how it works, because it looks like a chat or that you chat with someone? Could you explain a little bit more about the app? Thanks!

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Do you know any app that helps translate or interpret life? Any digital tools that could help? I was thinking about creating QR codes with audios or something. Any ideas would be wonderful!

Hey #DH Community! I’m helping out at Thrive. They have a food bank and I’m going there once a week to help with the Spanish speakers clients that needs support. The main problem is that sometimes there is no Spanish speaker volunteer to assist.

After all day in front of the computer and packaging, I decided to start a collage with the prints of @wolfproofpress.com about #DHMakes and #NailsandNodes. My assistant and I are always working hard

Sara Arribas Colmenar @sararribas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Btw, I know you were missing my cat-assistant, Callie Croqueta. She is still working super hard for #DHMakes as you can see here. Definitely a good photo for the pet zine @literaturegeek.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

@literaturegeek.bsky.social giving ideas about a #DHMakes pet zine while we are on the #ACH!!!! I started to think on a Christmas postcard or something like that! Definitely Callie Croqueta need a recognition after all the supervision these days lol
