Super thankful for nerdy classmates and program mates who like to discuss notetaking and research processes. I had fun talking about @obsidian.md today with @wepm.bsky.social. Her #digitalhumanities experience and encouragement help a lot.

Just got my presenter goodies for #arconexiones at @idahostateucose.bsky.social. Thanks to @marinlaufenberg.bsky.social and students for all the hard work put into this. I'm looking forward to watercolor painting 😁🎨
