The #DataSittersClub is back! Is your #Python environment a mess? The Data-Sitters can walk you through setting up project-specific environments. But more importantly, we've got some thoughts about making bigger changes in that environment called your life. https://datasittersclub.github.io/site/dsc21.html

Very happy to be getting back to work on the #DataSittersClub. We've got two books coming in the next month-ish: one on managing environments, and one near-transcript of the argument we got into in our first in-person meeting, which is leading to a new spin-off series...

I've ended up with an inquiry from a #DataScience student interested in examples of #harm coming to people because of #data collection (especially in a war context, but open to anything). Do folks have any favorite pointers / examples I could pass along?

My Textile Makerspace and I made it into the promo video for Making@Stanford! It's come so far from its days as a dusty computer lab in the non-English literatures building. ✨ #DHmakes #DigitalHumanities #textiles https://youtu.be/N3LIzuRaYzg?si=ommBGqPTLi2d4gjv

513 rows of #data. Now to cut this off, tie on different warp, and weave the whole thing over again. #DHmakes #DigitalHumanities #weaving

I'm overdue on laundry so ended up accidentally cobbling together an outfit out of #AI-themed things even though it didn't fit the day at all. Delightful necklace from the Peculiarity Shop. And I taught three students in #Dataviz with #Textiles how to set up the loom and weave. #DHmakes #DigitalHumanities #weaving

5 hours of teaching a drop-in workshop on taking body measurements, and reading and making sewing patterns, plus bonus embroidery, spinning, and sewing basics. Tired but happy. #DHmakes #DigitalHumanities

Brought my #insomnia #embroidery to the all-day #Unicode meeting yesterday and managed to get mostly caught up! This month has included a new kind of insomnia (white bead), attempting to use sleep drugs (overlapping stitches) and just generally not sleeping well at all! #DHmakes #DigitalHumanities

Today there's interviews for an #API data #curator position so thought I'd riff on #data, Python(s), and other thrashy things with teeth. #DHsewing #DHmakes

I swear for once I have no particular vendetta against one of today's meetings or whatever, I just woke up this morning and felt like this, for whatever reason, is a good day for #sharks. Both dress and earrings, kraken #shawl, and swirly glasses. #DHsewing #DHmakes

Better pics (and a #zine!) to come, but the #DMCA exemption for text and data mining #weaving brings me joy. Leno twists and a fluffy yarn turned out to be perfect for rendering sarcasm in a weaving; in the areas of the text that use "generative #AI" too much, the weaving almost falls apart. #DHmakes

For the folks who were curious about the #AI class #weaving, I've posted pictures and the #zine for how to read it! #DHmakes

Local kindergartener was curious about the "Protect Yourself" #Scouts badge on her belt and I reminded her of the video about "unsafe touches".

This has led to her walking around and authoritatively lecturing people about the dangers of touching #cacti and #roses. 🚫🌵🚫🌹

The #data #weaving is underway and I'm already hooked. Darker colors are words more associated with the petition to expand the #DMCA exemption for text and data mining; lighter colors are words more associated with the responses. Starting by weaving the petition. #DHmakes

What takes longer, cracking and preparing an ebook file following all the rules of the 2021 DMCA exemption for text and data mining, or warping loom to visualize the new TDM expansion petition and responses? 🤔 #DHmakes

Yesterday was the last #DHRPG class, and on the train home I had some feelings about our RPG, and making a world that depends on 8 specific other people. #DigitalHumanities

I didn't know what to wear for the last day of the #DHRPG, but when I saw the #AnimalCrossing Celeste dress, I realized the character final D20 rolls are all wishing upon stars. The vibes were right for all the character endings. But oh, I'm going to miss this class and its world. #DHmakes #DHsewing #DigitalHumanities

Decided to go Animal Crossing (2020 project throwback with @EMGrumbach ✨) for teaching a new student assistant things around the Makerspace, and holding a pocket hacking workshop. Also did some lossless data compression on the guestbook loom. #DHsewing #DHmakes

Can't believe today I donned my DM hat for the penultimate time for this quarter. 😭 @Halperta joined us today to talk a little about why we do collaborative projects anyway, so I had to wear my Academic Tarot Deck dress. I'm going to miss the DH RPG. #DHmakes #DHsewing
