Lots of people craving analog experiences, more grounded lives, and connection. I'm going to talk about it in a quarterly newsletter: "Touching Grass." Want in? mailchi.mp/needsmorefib... #touchgrass #analog #typewriters #luddite #outdoorsy #logoff

1st day back to school! Got some new mask chains this year! #covidconscious #stillcoviding #maskup

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

The reference photo ---> The painting This was my very first commission and I'm really proud of it. I look forward to continuing to flex my muscles and build my skills. I hope I get more commissions in the future! #acrylicart #artsky #paintersky #newartist

I thoroughly enjoyed The Husbands! I wasn't in a COMPLETE book rut, but I found myself reading slower than I wanted to, and this book whipped me into shape. Thank you for writing something so delightful, @hollygramazio.bsky.social !! app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/2352... #booksky #readingsky

This was my second painting that I started, but I just finished it! I had to take some time to work on a gift before I got back to this. I'm really proud of my progress. My next piece is a commission! So, that is a thing I do now! #artist #acrylicpainting #newartist #artsky #paintingsky #lilacs

My third painting was a commission for a friend's wedding. Check out the finished product and the reference photo! If you're the kind of person who likes progress photos you can find them on TT (SammiDitto there too) #artsky #paintingsky #acrylicpainting

One of the biggest curses of my life is that I'm always typing "Canva" when I want "Canvas" and vice versa. #academicsky #marketersky

OMG @kasulke.co I found your book on a TikTok list with books about late-stage capitalism that are also funny and flew through it. The horror! The humor! The howling! I loved it. (here's the list btw: www.tiktok.com/@its__bailey...) #booksky #readingsky

I wish this wasn't one of those movies where every trailer gave it away, but I found fun in other places. letterboxd.com/sammiditto/f... #moviesky #filmsky

Is my TBR heinous? Yes. Do I also want your book recommendations so I know what to shop for at indie / used book stores on my birthday? Also yes. I'm in the mood for the weird, the wacky, the heartwarming, the funny, the Black Mirror-adjacent, and always down for non-fiction. Whatcha got? #booksky

Tabling at #WalkMS in the Twin Cities! Trying to drum up interest for the #challengewalkms - this will be my 10th year! Wanna give me a head start? Bit.ly/challengewalk2025

I still think Happy Death Day is wildly underrated, and because this film from Landon came out, I found out that Happy Death Day 3 may still happen. There's hope! #letterboxd #moviesky #drop #dropmovie #happydeathday letterboxd.com/sammiditto/f...

My second painting! This one came from a Katie Jobling tutorial. #paintsky #artsky #sunset #painting #acrylicpainting

Happy Milwaukee Day to all who celebrate! Except to that guy who trademarked the area code. I hope your pillows are always hot and your soup is always cold. #fouronefour #milwaukeeday

I just read the first 25 pages of Cuckoo by @scumbelievable.bsky.social and I'm already hooked. OMG I can't wait to see where it goes from here #booksky #

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

Me, a Wisconsinite, all day today... Congrats to Susan Crawford, Jill Underly, and so many others, and way to go, Wisconsin! #onwisconsin #susancrawford

I started painting lessons about a month ago. This is my first painting! I'm pretty proud of it. I might add a background, idk. Let me know what you think! #artsky #art #paint #paintsky #acrylic #strawberry #painter

Couldn't even wait until I got home. I love these Miyazaki-inspired nails so much! Say no to AI art, say yes to soot sprite and Calcifer nails!! Hooked up as always by Kelly at Nail Ninja! #nailsky #nailart

I feel like I need to say right now that just because SOME folks are actively engaging in conspiracy theories and failing to fact check doesn't mean that you should to match energy. Being well-informed is one of the most important things we can do to resist. #medialiteracy #factcheck #conspiracies

Hey hi! I presented a poster last week on some of the very long history of home economics at the University of Minnesota and the importance that @umnextension.bsky.social Home Economics extension agents played in the research, teaching, and outreach missions of a land-grant university.

We are going to see more people die of cancers they could beat because of people peddling manifestation-adjacent health beliefs. Couple that with decreased cancer research funding, I worry about our future. Louise Hay, Abraham Hicks, and so many others have blood on their hands.

Beginning stages of my slip box! I cleaned out all my fleeting notes yesterday and got 19 slips organized. I still have some literature notes to work through, but even seeing this small start gets me excited to see what will develop from here! #zettelkasten

Attending the World Critical Dietetics conference, and this opening quote struck me: “Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.” ― Cree Indian Prophecy #dietetics #criticaldietetics #nutrition

I KNEW someone did this meme before. It's the first thing that ever came to my mind when I learned about Kant in my undergrad. #kant #clueless #philosophysky

New month, new figurine. I think this one is apt for both the month and the...everything else. #dumpsterfire #valentinesday #corsair #100soft

I JUST bought a #kobo libra colour and found out that #NetGalley, at least temporarily, won't be available, just as I was working on building my profile and purchased a Kobo to use them together. #booksky any other readers you like? Or should I give it a try and sit tight for a fix?

The ApocU 2025 BHM TTRPG Celebration is proud to announce this year’s sponsor - TRANSPLANAR RPG! Transplanar RPG has always walked the walk and talked the talk supporting marginalized folks and we couldn't be more excited for their support in bringing you this year's events and fundraising! 🤜🏿

When I was a kid, I thought history was the most boring subject ever. Then I got to college and learned how fascinating it really was. Now I spend as much time as I can going through archival records. History has so many lessons to share. #historysky #archives

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

If Grand Theft Hamlet is playing in your area, GO SEE IT. #filmsky #moviesky #grandthefthamlet letterboxd.com/sammiditto/f...

As I continue to divest from the big book site, curious what people like in e-readers. I'm leaning toward the Kobo Libra Color. Anything else you recommend, #booksky folks?

Hey #booksky - I know I can Google this but I also know how active this community is, so I'm asking this here because I am an absolute n00b. Been an avid reader my whole life, a (mostly nonfiction) writer, I serve on a library board, and I am in my second go-around of grad school. (1/2)

"I tell you that if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists!" - Nosferatu (2024) #nosferatu #moviesky #filmsky

Just got this in the mail from @spiritbored.bsky.social and I squealed! So excited to read it! #booksky

I hope Bishop Mariann Budde gets everything good in this life and the next. 9 years ago, I took my students to the archives to read hate mail written to Father Groppi. Feels like a good day to bring that up.

I saw a TT video on this that completely shocked me. The recent activity I saw in this report was beyond anything that an app like this ever, EVER needs. Delete it now, remove these apps from your phones.

OK #obsidian #tropy #zotero #pandoc friends! I've got some problems getting all of my citations to export the way I'd like. I've tried a million different forum suggestions and a few different plugins. Anyone here a super confident pro and/or potentially magic?

Hey, thank you #booksky for the amazing warm welcome! I'm currently reading a lot of books at the same time and will be sharing more with my Storygraph and Libib soon. First recommendation of the year is Designing Your Life. I'm so excited to share it with my students this year.

Pulling some preliminary findings in archival research for an abstract and I love finding things like a "Cheese Appreciation" class in the mix.

I have a lot of faith in my browser that I can type the first four letters of "analytics" and I know it's going to take me to #GA4.

I was never a big part of #BookTok but I do wanna be on #booksky - I moved over to The StoryGraph and I am looking for reading motivation to get me through my thesis and year. Always on the hunt to broaden my horizon.

The level of influence and economic impact #TikTok had on the United States is easily overlooked by people who haven't been on the app. Not only was it a tool for unparalleled connection and humanity, it was great for small businesses, indie authors, and artists of all kinds.

Me, @hisammi.com and @themarie93.bsky.social about to get back to shelf stockin' & such in Grocery store sim! 🔴Oh yeah, I already hit "Go live" Twitch.tv/ablacksparrow twitch.tv/SammiDitto

Reading @kristicoulter.bsky.social 's book and just got AOL Instant Messenger nails. #aim #nailsky #nailart #nostalgia

Listen, I'm new here, so I didn't realize I could string multiple posts together. Next time! Here's my day-to-day accounting of my media deprivation week: www.linkedin.com/posts/sammid... #mediadeprivation #theartistsway #morningpages #focus
