I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Jennifer Romig @jennifermromig.bsky.social · 4d ago

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

So excited I get to scheme square and learn Writing and Teaching from Brandon Walshhhh (aka talk more about ttrpgs of course!) #GamesBasedDHpedagogy #DHMakes #CriticalMaking

Fun times this week scheming with @jajrk.bsky.social on a new project: a card game for teachers to work with students to co-create better, alternative visions for AI futures than the ones we are told are inevitable. Play and storytelling in the classroom for destabilizing narratives by/of power.

I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

I’m overwhelmed today, but I want to circle back in a while to share the links to everyone & everything I cited. More soon.

A Duty of Care (with Dr. Emily Friedman) - Season 7 - Dropout

Dr. Emily Friedman joins Brennan to discuss the history of actual play and the best gaming system. Content Warning: Misophonia (Crunching) - [throughout 54:37-1:01:03]

"I wish the recent tellings of the Luddite mvmt wld... let their story go on a bit longer. By 1820, the Luddites had been crushed... But by that time weavers were already pursuing a quieter strategy. They formed [co-ops]... Thru them, weavers went from working in factories to co-owning factories."

Ring the bells this just became VERY Digital Humanities-y with @friede.bsky.social talking about all the Spreadsheets of Data for her book + Positionally on Facts, Institutions, People's Feelings Academics have a duty of care 😭 my heart, even as I am battling uncritical AI adoption

It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!

As scholars and journalists start to write more about data center noise politics, I hope they'll consider the precedents — the history of noise abatement activism + regulation, the whole history of zoning (which is in large part about sensory regulation), etc.

Ok, I have been MIA on this platform because life has been busy, but I want to remind you Digital Humanities Quarterly invites abstracts for a special issue on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to digital humanities pedagogy due August 1 dhq.digitalhumanities.org/submissions/...

Read this to learn about “costume drama,” “leprechaun talk,” and other ways language models can fail when asked to represent the past!

Incoming co-presidents @plach.bsky.social and @emgrumbach.bsky.social ran a beautiful meeting that focused on building energy and community in the board. And the exec group had such great energy and ideas. Very excited for the future working with this crew.

Yesterday @regan008.bsky.social started our term as @ach.bsky.social co-VPs, and the exec meeting was so lovely and exciting. Outgoing co-Presidents @nolauren.bsky.social and Andy Janco have done such a great job and set us up well.

It’s so exciting to start this journey with @walshbr.bsky.social, @plach.bsky.social and @emgrumbach.bsky.social. Many many many thanks to @nolauren.bsky.social and Andy Janco for leaving us such a strong foundation. So much good work to come!

Despite breathless reporting on how AI is going to change the world, Hannah Cyrus, a Bangor librarian, said that, in her experience, most library patrons aren’t finding it helpful.

Here's my recent free zine intro to artist residencies, for folks who haven't thought of themselves as artists/crafters nor eligible for work or learning support 📚👇 (Also a 🧵 on options aimed at folks w/barriers re:identity, resources: bsky.app/profile/lite...)

Amanda Wyatt! Visconti@literaturegeek.bsky.social · 4w ago

I was awarded a fully funded artist residency for 3 weeks—Ox-Bow School of Art's Longform. Time to focus on my printing practice (including non-letterpress work), + workshops in & collab feedback w/a handful of artists from other methods (across fabrics arts, paper+bookmaking, painting, writing)

In “Against AI: Critical Refusal in the Library,” I examine LIS as in need of a values-realignment, asking readers to refuse the technosolutionism we are so often offered in place of human-centered possibilities, like taking racism, climate change, and labor rights seriously doi.org/10.1353/lib....
