@literaturegeek.bsky.social did a great job live posting about the Praxis fellows final presentation. This was a really special group, and they did fantastic work throughout the year cultivating a caring, thoughtful, intellectually rigorous community. We were lucky to learn from them.

I was writing about students' transformational resistance of tech imposed on their lives in/for school and reread this article about the student-organized walkout in protest of the Summit Learning Platform. Students wrote a powerful letter to Zuckerberg, which is worth revisiting and teaching too 🧵

Just published: a blog post precursor to a digital project that I've been working on with my supervisor and another PhD student for over three years. We recreated Valve's ApertureScience site. The edition will publish with Scholarly Editing later this year. veilofcode.wordpress.com/2025/05/10/a...

New post up for Monday about a daily writing practice I developed last month. It's modeled on a newbie running program: I added sentences to my daily goal each week until I was doing about a paragraph each day. New post - "Couch to Paragraph Writing Program" walshbr.com/blog/couch-t...

I wrote about how my fellowship at the @scholarslab.bsky.social made me realize that the field of Digital Humanities shares a lot of characteristics with The Real Housewives (or maybe my brain is just too full of our hackathon and reality TV) scholarslab.lib.virginia.edu/blog/dh-is-rh/

It’s really hard to take seriously any effort to normalize the parts of AI that might be useful when it’s being used as a cudgel by corrupt fascists to destroy art, science, healthcare, the indigent, and the macroeconomy. How can we accept the “good” parts of a system when we see what it’s used for?

Reading A Moveable Feast now and truly cackling at the introduction describing confusion as to why Hemingway didn’t like Ford Madox Ford. The chapter later on narrates Ford as a repulsive, lying toad. Sometimes you just don’t like someone’s vibes! Not everything need be intellectual.

Carla Hayden is an inspiration to so many in the library profession. People outside of that profession probably don't even realize how much. She certainly became an inspiration to me. She will be missed as our chief librarian.
