Crafts masquerading as other crafts fill my heart with joy. #DHmakes
What would be the point of being both a knitter and a quilter and not fully committing to the bit?

Love a workshop on applying historical knowledge to modern crafting! 😍 #DHmakes

Good words for the #DHmakes letterpress friends today. ✍️
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

From the "proving the point" department, the last piece of the AI pants project is machine embroidered, and as much as hand embroidery is slow but predictable work, I'm spending an awful lot of time fixing the threading on this embroidery machine over and over and it sucks. #DHmakes

The ceramic craft video is amazing, and the interview led me to this equally amazing wool video. It's a beautiful bridge between physical craft and digital creation. #DHmakes

Feeling grateful to have awesome coworkers and project collaborators including @snowdenbecker.bsky.social @anneladyem.bsky.social & @nafpaktitism.bsky.social who've been there for me all day with my random hand-lettering & other requests as I put together our AI in Education pants zine. 🥰 #DHmakes

Getting a little Sashiko practice in on BART this morning. It's a really different way of holding and moving the needle than how I usually embroider, and I'm not used to working with a thimble, but it's a fun challenge. #DHmakes

I'll be posting the zine we made (and a printable one, and a transcription and other fun facts) in due time, but today we celebrate the submission of our all-female & enby library people contribution to the "AI and Education Thought Leadership Open Track" competition. #DHmakes

It was a wonderful day to sit at a loom, show visitors how to weave, and play with variations on a single design.

Also to have a ridiculously delicious lunch with a friend.

Make something with your hands, eat something delicious, turn off the screens tonight if you can, friends. #DHmakes

NEW — I spoke to Tom, the guy at the South Carolina Trump rally who compared the president's supporters to the Jonestown Massacre. We talked about his loathing for Trump, his love of death metal, and where he learned his impeccable comedic timing.

Read our full chat here:
I talked to Tom, the viral ‘Jonestown’ Trump rally guy
He planned to make good trouble. But he didn't expect to be handed a Fox News mic.

Excellent potential for the #DHmakes letterpress friends, who take lovingly handcrafting text to the next level!
‘stop lovingly handcrafting our code’ is so funny my god. hey! i see you doing a good job at work! you stop that shit right now!
this story is extremely wild, major investigation from @josephcox.bsky.social:

'Tis the season for #DHmakes. 💀
TFW your medievalist colleague says “we should print these skeletons in the press from the 1499 Lyons edition of *La Grant Danse Macabre* for Halloween @skeuomorphpress.org” & there’s not time—but he laser cut it anyway & it’s just sitting & waiting for ink so catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/9949...

What does a digital humanist do when power is out on campus? Switch to the punch card knitting machine, of course. #DHmakes

Recent work in progress—a pencilled proof of text from Johnathan & Melissa Nightingale's beautiful "You are not entirely powerless". Plan is to print final version over a pointy hand 👉 (although I do like the current textured background too) #DHmakes

Put the typewriters and the letterpress and the looms in the hands of young people. ❤️‍🔥 #DHmakes
I'm reading the most beautiful student papers right now (written by 18-20 year olds) about the beauty of typewriters; the value of slowness, of difficulty; about how genuine learning takes place, all unprompted by me! or, only prompted by my unbridled enthusiasm for analog tech 😍 we are not doomed!

I love all the manicules and femicules available here. It's well past time for us to put more digits into digital humanities! #DHmakes
The “femicules” we ordered for a forthcoming @sophie-rose-reads.bsky.social project have arrived @skeuomorphpress.org

Luminaria #4. Wisdom from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, a fave you may remember from my August glitterpress & queer pirate letterpress boat as well. #DHmakes

Some more of our DH Center chalkings, courtesy of our wonderfully creative student workers. Each of these makes our space feel more human and joyful #DHmakes

I made my own curiosity cabinet at this year’s Archives & Special Collections “Cabinet of Curiosities” themed Halloween party #DHmakes

"help each other." Lasercut luminaria, using text I like from a neighbor's yard sign. (I'm going to add tissue paper to diffuse the light, when I get a chance) #DHmakes
