The visit to Miles's island for Animal Crossing: New Digital Humanities with @emgrumbach.bsky.social is up there among my 5 fondest memories from deep pandemic days. 🥰 #DHmakes

also, since it is Hildegard von Bingen's feast day today, I feel the need to remind everyone of my Hildegard section of my animal crossing medievalisms

An animal crossing island rep with round glasses behind a standee decorated to look like the manuscript illustration of Hildegard with her divine inspiration tentacles above her head. there's a custom design of Hildegard's cosmic egg to the right of the standee.

Cross-stitch for the times. ❤️‍🔥 #DHmakes

i don't think anyone on here will care but lately I have entertained myself by making some cross-stitch patterns of some world heritage posts, and i can share them with you if you are interested.

it's a tweet from @dril. it reads "IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL"
it's a cross-stitch pattern of the above @dril tweet. there's text that says "IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL" surrounded by a square border. at the top of the border, things are blue and green, with clouds and sunlight, but the colors shift along the sides, getting darker, until, at the bottom, there is darkness and flames. it's pretty silly tbh.
it's a post from tumblr user boycritter that reads "this sucks so bad i need to [remembers that suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen"
it's a cross stitch pattern of the aforementioned tumblr post. it has teh text "this sucks so bad i need to [remembers that suicide jokes only worsen my mental health] put on the best talent show this towns ever seen" surrounded by a floral border with yellow and red flowers, plus greenery. the bracketed text is in red, and the phrase "best talent show" is in yellow, while the rest of the text is blue.

Love seeing subversive pseudo-ad art at the Palo Alto train station, like this one for Meta glasses. #DHmakes
Flyer with Meta logo at the top and slogan "let's ruin another generation of girls". Image shows a bunch of sunglasses models including "the upskirter" (if your man buys these, it's time to leave), "the handjobber" (sEMG wristband), "the perv" (record girls when they're not looking), "the incel" (by ray-ban and meta) and "the pedo" (Epstein would have loved em)

Some food for thought outside a park in Berkeley yesterday. What things can you create and share in public to make people pause and think? #DHmakes
A sign in a bush, "What do you think is possible that you didn't yesterday?"
A sign in a bush, "Notice how you are different from this time last year."
A sign in a bush, "What did you not say today?"
A sign in a bush "What moment or person today made you feel most understood? How'd it feel?"

Quick and silly projects. When we first moved back, I asked for some craft kits for Christmas to give me a low-key way back into crafting. A got me a 4-pack of crochet kits. I made the final two over the past week — one for M and one for A. The others are in my office. #DHMakes

Printing day: some proofs of 1 thing that needs some relayout before further printing; & both layers of this Addinizio poem (1st layer took 30min to print; 2nd took 4hrs & could have taken 2 more, mostly alignment fixes but some hunting non-damaged letters; but it was time to clean up) #DHmakes
Photo of a letterpress print in blue inks on white paper. The text says in small italics "To the woman crying uncontrollably in / the next stall / -Kim Addonizio" followed by larger text in a half circle that says "if you think nothing & no one can" followed by larger text that says "listen / i love you / joy is coming". The middle of the page has the start and body of the poem text, which says "If you ever woke in your dress at 4 a.m. ever closed your legs to someone you loved opened them for someone you didn't moved against a pillow in the dark stood miserably on a beach seaweed clinging to your ankles paid good money for a bad haircut backed away from a mirror that wanted to kill you bled into the back seat for lack of a tampon if you swam across a river under rain sang using a dildo for a microphone stayed up to watch the moon eat the sun entire ripped out the stitches in your heart because why not"
Photo, digitally flipped for readability, of letterpress type set in solid block that reads "If you ever woke in your dress at 4 a.m. ever closed your legs to someone you loved opened them for someone you didn't moved against a pillow in the dark stood miserably on a beach seaweed clinging to your ankles paid good money for a bad haircut backed away from a mirror that wanted to kill you bled into the back seat for lack of a tampon if you swam across a river under rain sang using a dildo for a microphone stayed up to watch the moon eat the sun entire ripped out the stitches in your heart because why not"
Photo of the rollers on a Vandercook letterpress press; the rollers have been inked in process blue, and subsequently a dark red ink has been dabbed across the top roller in a libe, but not mixed in yet
Photo of letterpress type using a yellow plastic jar of to set some of the type in a half circle pattern by placing it along the curve of the lid. There is small metal italic type at the top that says the title and author of the poem the rest of the text is a quote from, Kim Addonizio's "To the woman crying uncontrollably in the next stall". The rest of the type says "if you think nothing & no one can / listen I love you joy is coming"

This is wild but my 1st pull of this hacky circle setting, which I just intended to check the inking & not be be near a final print, has all the type inking equally & near what I want the final to be? This has never happened to me w/this much metal type

Spending much of the day in a strategic planning meeting, so I thought I'd channel the ghost of Project Bamboo for a little wisdom and perspective. Also hoping to make progress on my embroidery dataviz of texts and emails to and from my ex. (50 words = 1 chain stitch, knot = 1 text). #DHmakes
Quinn wearing sandals, colorful dot shorts, and a shirt with a bamboo pattern along with a woven shawl, black hat, and blue and green mask. Right panel is hourglass shapes with embroidered knots and chain stitches in brown and purple.

You'll find me in some corner of the room with a loom, thanks. #DHmakes

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Set the rest of the Kim Addonizio poem today instead of leaving it as just the end; used 2nd galley measured to fit text w/in circle on 1st. Noticed trans reading of the title ("To the woman crying uncontrollably in the next stall"); I wish there was more of the poem's ready deep solidarity #DHmakes
Photo of two galleys (metal trays) holding metal letterpress type; photo is digitally flipped for readability. The tray on the left is an in-progress letterpress typesetting project using a yellow plastic jar of to set some of the type in a half circle pattern by placing it along the curve of the lid. There is small metal italic tote at the top that says the title and author of the poem the rest of the text is a quote from, Kim Addonizio's "To the woman crying uncontrollably in the next stall". The rest of the type says "if you think nothing & no one can / listen I love you joy is coming". The tray on the right contains the preceding text of the open, set in lead type: "If you ever woke in your dress at 4 a.m. ever closed your legs to someone you loved opened them for someone you didn't moved against a pillow in the dark stood miserably on a beach seaweed clinging to your ankles paid good money for a bad haircut backed away from a mirror that wanted to kill you bled into the back seat for lack of a tampon if you swam across a river under rain sang using a dildo for a microphone stayed up to watch the moon eat the sun entire ripped out the stitches in your heart because why not"

Today's #DHmakes I tried typesetting around a can lid for a circular effect, inspired by @jsench.bsky.social's photo of doing this. Text is from end of the Kim Addonizio poem cited at top, which reliably gives me frission ("listen / I love you joy is coming") +

Teaching “DH in the Classroom” at DREAM Lab @pricelab.bsky.social was a rewarding experience. Fantastics students, the best collaborator @betovargas.github.io, and friends old and new. We covered a huge range of topics, but here’s a peek at the game we made in the #DHMakes unit.

1st attempt lasercutting letterpress type, using 1/4" acrylic+ will add wood mounts to type high. Bungee Inline font w/interior lines widened so ink doesn't get stuck in them. #DHmakes +
Photo of a clear acrylic sheet with a brown paper backing in a lasercutter bed. The shape of an alphabet letter in a chunky font with a line temoved from its center is being cut out with a laser. The sheet is already cut with many other letters.

Some joy at the intersection of #DHmakes and #DHbakes!

From Arts & Crafts patterns to medieval archaeology. These biscuits recreate stained glass fragments found a few years ago in the triforium of Westminster Abbey.

A collection of biscuits made to look like stained glass window fragments. There are six larger biscuits featuring different faces: a woman looking downwards; a griffin-like creature with wings and a long neck; an old man with long facial hair; a woman with golden hair and a simple tiara; a bald man painted in monochrome; a man with curled hair and striking eyes. The larger biscuits are surrounded by a scattering of smaller fragments. There is a jewel-red fragment in a triangular shape, a small green rectangle, and a bright blue semi-circular shard painted with a leaf pattern. Other small biscuits have bold black-and-white patterns made up of lines, circles, and floral shapes. Many of the biscuits are made to look dirty and scratched.

What a beautiful take on the guestbook loom idea. #DHmakes

Did a community #weave at an event today celebrating brain health and mental wellness. Each thread, feather, or fiber represents a person who was willing to learn something new today. A person who may have unseen struggles. These pieces celebrate our differences and show that we are better together.

A weaving on a small cricket loom containing white, pink, blue, red, thread and a variety of fibers and feathers.

I also worked more on setting this quote of a @katestarbird.bsky.social tweet I liked (vexed by running out of letters I need; for some reason I really want to use the Ben Franklin type even though there isn't enough of it) #DHmakes
Photo, digitally flipped for readability, of a letterpress typesetting project with various serif typefaces fit into wood blocks and leading strips to make a solid rectangle. The type reads: "The ONLY way FORWARD requires both COURAGE and CONVICTION If we're not going to fight for our scholarship and our students what the HELL are we doing anyway???"

I started typesetting a recent tweet of @katestarbird.bsky.social's (bsky.app/profile/kate...); not sure if it works w/this Ben Franklin type I'd been wanting to use (incl. because some missing letters), but going to try filling in w/some very different typeface & then decide #DHmakes +

Photo of a gasket tray of metal letterpress type in the Ben Franklin font, which looks like the slightly wobbly type you'd see in an 18th century pamphlet. The photo has been digitally flipped for legibility. The text is from the following Kate Starburd tweet, but is missing some letters where I ran out: "The only way forward, that I can see, requires both courage and collective action. If we’re not going to fight for our students and our scholarship, then what the hell are we doing anyway?"

I was irked that the back of my kid custody / sleep location top was so blank, so I made a spreadsheet for this year of how many texts I've gotten from my ex, how many emails, and the wordcount. Best part is, instead of getting annoyed at the messages, I now smile & add them to the data. 😈 #DHmakes

Got fully caught up on both my daily data embroidery projects this weekend: where I sleep / how many kids my girlfriend and I have custody of (different design each month, April was flowers), and the adults I see each day (spiral). #DHmakes

Four embroideries, a calendar and some squares with French knots, some hearts, and some flowers on a blue shirt
