Deeply honored to receive the Book Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Work!! Grateful to SAW and to everyone who engaged with my work. 💜

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Vine reboot called diVine has been launched 📱 • Funded by Jack Dorsey • Includes over 100K videos from Vine's archive • Users can upload 6-second videos • AI-generated content is not allowed

Insider fact: we (and Jack) should all be thanking @hannahdonovan.bsky.social for Vine’s archive. It was *her* idea to archive Vine when she was told to shut it down, and she took the initiative, on behalf of the internet, to figure out how and then build and ship the archive

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with our recs (but don’t tell Adam Piron that we are just confirming his). This week we explore the Criterion Collection’s Native Narratives!

New sticker featuring a quote from Nam June Paik, the father of video art! Thank you to @rose-alibi.bsky.social!!

friends. I'm not sure there's time in my class next semester BUT: if you were to teach a piece/book by Vílem Flusser in a media theories grad class, which text would you teach? (@shanedenson.bsky.social I'm sure you have a great suggestion but no obligation)

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin: Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author. Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Student surveillance companies cash in on the ai grift by promising schools and parents their tech will keep students safe from the harms of ai.

wow the times published a mostly-positive review of my show with @tega.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/a...

placesjournal.org/article/extr... fantastic article by @shannonmattern.bsky.social part love letter to libraries and all they represent, and part dream of the future libraries are building.

In an interview with a Palestinian asylum-seeker he told me he turned off his phone & wrapped it to avoid cyber surveillance tech, which was developed by Israel & tested on him & which has just been bought by ICE to use on Americans. "None of us are free until all are free" is not a slogan.

Seance and Technology Studies is for real, read the intro published by @asapjournal.bsky.social as part of "Algorithms and the Occult, or Chatbots are the New Psychic Friends Network" edited by @tamigraph.bsky.social @briana-v.bsky.social @jeffreymoro.com 🔮 asapjournal.com/node/seance-...

The collection is awesome, algorithms are a lot like an occult practice. Hexing white supremacists, casting spells, tarot, astrology and more featuring @emmaquilty.bsky.social @aketchum22.bsky.social @xrw.bsky.social @drs.bsky.social @thechristinet.bsky.social @jessrauchberg.bsky.social

AI is a lack of consent machine And this is just gross. This is disturbingly and utterly gross And the number of people who are basically facilitating digital sexual coercion is disgusting

Historic victory for Democratic Socialism and, frankly, the good of the country.

California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat. A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.

“I'm not saying these are glasses for creeps, but I can't help but feel like one while wearing them.” Reader, they are for creeps.

If only every single critical "AI" researcher had warned about the likelihood of this danger for machine learning-based systems for the past decade or so and if only an acronym like "GIGO" had existed for decades Prior. Oh If Only 😐 "Too much social media gives AI chatbots ‘brain rot’"

With #Sinners back in theaters today, thought I'd reshare the article I wrote about the Choctaw Vampire Hunters and why that moment didn't NEED to be centered more even tho we would all love to see more of their story. redpopnews.com/sinners-give... #redpopnews

Eminently reasonable proposed principles for professors’ use of AI, from a student refusinggenai.wordpress.com/2025/08/29/a...

“The Coalition for Action in Higher Education and AAUP Local 6741 are delighted to announce: ‘Mapping Anti-Palestinian Discrimination, Harassment, and Misinformation in U.S. Higher Education.’ This series of five webinars takes place from October to December.”

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

We have a new timeline up today on our Food Safety page, documenting how individual events continue to chip away at the personnel, regulations, and oversight mechanisms that make up our food safety systems: unbreaking.org/issues/food-...

Grateful to have this book in my hands! I will definitely be incorporating it into lesson planning. So wonderful to get to read @blackamazon.bsky.social @akilahhughes.com @latoyap.bsky.social @yeq.bsky.social, AX Mina, Eric Loyer, and more! So many folks I admire in this anthology. 👏🏽

Might anyone know of modern / contemporary artists whose work centers on the sun, light, and the solstice? I'm thinking of Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels, Emily Sheffer's Winter Solstice cyanotype project, etc...

Usha is proof that the sunken place is real

Come work with me!

 We've opened the search for a full time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Game Arts at Pratt Institute. 

A good match would be an artist, game developer, or educator with an active creative practice in indie games, game studies and theory, playful coding, or art games.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

"But we also lend ourselves to the library — committing our attention, our time, our presence at board meetings, our tax dollars and donations — enlarging the commons and participating in the political project of making an informed society." 💕

Tired of all the slop? I built a browser extension called Slop Evader that only returns search results from before Nov 30, 2022 - the pre-ChatGPT internet. Sure, the info is a couple years old, but at least you know a human wrote it :) chromewebstore.google.com/detail/slop-...

The excellent You Are Listening To website got a relaunch/reskin/reboot: youarelistening.to

help spread the word. also “anarchy” means “absence of hierarchy” not “chaos”, which are truly not the same

In a shocking reality check, @wired.com is not, in fact, bankrolled by “donations from far left organizations.” We actually rely on an amazing and growing audience of subscribers to support our journalism, so please subscribe to WIRED if you don’t already.

As an educator, this hurts my soul 💔

I believe you’ve discovered the Shel Silverstein Memorial Sidewalk Termination.

something good: Downbound Books has installed its Richard Scary Busy People mini print automat! www.downboundbooks.com

I made my students a little “book” (just using Google slides) to show them how you all answered my question about how you take notes for research. Just to show the variety.

If you’d like to compare the extortionate demand letters the Trump admin has sent to various universities, you can do that here: sites.google.com/view/univers...

I'm just saying if you ask me to do stuff for free you should at least help me get a job

Organized Communities Against Deportations has launched a new mutual aid fund to support immigrant families in Chicago impacted by ICE raids Link to donate: donorbox.org/mutualaid2025

So, like, Proteus in Demonseed blindfieldjournal.com/2025/04/01/t...

signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant
