Heads up: this proposed rule from OPM affects not just the #sciences, but the National Endowment for the Humanities as well. These changes - to peer review, to staff expertise, to grant terminations - have been already happening for more than a year at our #humanities agency. #NEH

do they just not want to be a university anymore?

um. or also, maybe just don't do it?

Tbh I'm so sick of thinkpieces about how the left doesn't do x or y anymore without taking into account the material conditions involved, and strategizing about how we might work creatively within those constraints.

Ok but actually what is with the book club invite spam?? Bizarre

I feel like all the workflows that I've been relying on for years have gone from solid, to shaky, to no longer functional. Especially my digital piles of stuff to read and photos. I love both of these things! But digital management is sucking the joy out of both

Nor did I foresee that I would want my deans to read (immediately) a papal encyclical: AI tools "encourage excess reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgement."

"It is not enough to… celebrate the benefits of innovation, if they are built on a chain of exploitation that remains deliberately hidden. If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination, it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity."

CSU students deserve better.

The technologies are new. The questions--about power, meaning, knowledge, work, who gets counted, and who is at the table--are not. Social science has been asking them all along. The essay is an argument for showing up fully to a reckoning we're already in. www.amacad.org/publication/...

No one wants this! It isn’t an issue and it doesn’t make our kids safer to restrict rights. Nor would we expect it to be evenly enforced by the NYPD.

The #ACH2026 program is now available! buff.ly/Wtmsofy Join us virtually June 24–26 for 70+ presentations on DH, transnationalism, and solidarity (especially in the Americas). Registration is open through June 17 buff.ly/3QFYlOS

Join educators, families, community members, local leaders and organizations as we tell NYCPS that they must revise their protocols to keep us safe. Sign the petition, then join the rally on June 4. c.org/tt2WLSvm5d

I’m in the early stages of a new writing project, asking not how to fix higher education in the US but what we should do if it can't be fixed. This paper, presented at February's ACLA, represents the dipping of one toe in those waters. Comments *definitely* desired. kfitz.info/after-the-end/

Author: “These A.I. errors do not, in fact, diminish the larger questions that the book raises about truth, trust and A.I. and its impact on society, democracy and editorial." honey, yes they do. that's exactly what they do.

i cannot. I CANNOT.

WHAT IF

TY @walshbr.bsky.social for being a great reviewer when I wrote this article, including his suggested response to folks who can't handle critique/reviews that don't try to stab you to heal you: "Why do you feel as though enthusiastic support is mutually exclusive from respecting you as a thinker?"

Thank you for the super warm welcome, Alabama!

some really, really exciting news. we're hiring a two-year reporting fellow to cover higher ed in NYC but especially CUNY!! come work with me and dive into an amazing, complicated and under-covered beat

I got something like this a few weeks ago as well... same formula. Sigh

📣There's still time to sign up for a #ACH2026 low-cost, virtual #DigitalHumanities Workshop! 1) DH Pedagogy Studio: Creative and Critical Assignment Design 2) Get Started Preserving your Web Content and Data 3) Envisioning DH at your Teaching-Focused Institution ach2026.ach.org/en/workshops/

Stable baseline funding for libraries and CUNY, I could cry 🤩 Kudos and thank you, @mayor.nyc.gov! www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Yeah! So proud of CEC15 and D15 community members who stepped up to make this happen. I’ll share a link when we have the public version ready to share

Ok yes canvas is down and edtech is a hot mess and most everything is still terrible but DID YOU SEE THIS 😍😭💪

wowwwwww wow wow wow!

oh wow 😭

🎉🎉🎉

ICYMI I've got a piece out with @unwinnable.com about how games help children make sense of difficult topics—like memory loss—and how your relationships to that material and those objects change with age.

(Today is one of those days)

Every now and then I’m startled by how incredibly gorgeous blue jays are

👏👏👏 kudos to everyone who organized to make this possible!

Does this Atlantic piece mention that New York City is surrounded by districts that spend more per pupil than NYC on a nominal basis and probably as much as twice as much when adjusted for student need, take a wild guess bsky.app/profile/posi...

Chalkbeat wants to know how AI is being used in your NYC school and what you want the chancellor to know about it, the good and bad.

I'm excited to share this press release about an absolutely wonderful research grant I have the privilege to work on in collaboration with Full Spectrum Education & JusticexDesign www.fullspectrum.education/updates?mc_c...

This is SUCH welcome news. Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov and thanks to everyone who organized around this.

If you'd like some good but inexpensive art for your wall or a friend, I'm making space by clearing out some of my close-to-soldout letterpress prints w/a $5 sale including some large posters (Wolfproof is my press!):

It’s important to do because everyone is doing it. And everyone is doing it because it’s important. Imagine if that energy was applied to any number of other things. Supporting students. Pedagogical development. Empowering staff. Community-engaged work.

If anyone wants to replicate the classroom cartonera workshop we did this semester, here's the project description (in Spanish, might translat it into English at some point). Or invite me to run a workshop for you!

For real crying a little* reading students' reflection papers on their cartonera books. A few highlights: - collective project eliminates the individual/competitive model/feeling of conventional class work. - alternative ways of book making show that you don't need the newest+most expensive tech

Irregular reminder: Doomerism is functionally identical to Denialism Cynicism & despair aren’t a tribute to rationality; they’re failure of imagination & resilience. Making things less bad is more important than achieving perfection. Any start is better than none. Hope & Joy are essential activism

Experimenting with using reveal.js for slides. My html knowledge was shaky at its best and now it's that + old and rusty. Is this a terrible idea??

We are thrilled to announce that Dream Lab 2026 will kick off with a workshop led by @halperta.bsky.social, a writer, scholar, labor advocate, and founding member of the Sidra Collaborative consultancy. Hannah will speak about DH with Purpose, igniting our imaginations for a week of DH⚡️

That's my council member. This is horrendous.

hello my photo didn't look like me anymore so I changed it and now I'm disoriented by my own avatar
