The core message of the book is that we need to drastically re-imagine the ways that data systems are built, the ways they work, and who gets to control them. You can get Living in Data at your local library or at your fave indie bookseller. bookshop.org/p/books/livi...

My past 24 hours

made a visit to towson with @urlocalcyb.org & @digitalism.bsky.social & saw @tarayoungborg.bsky.social's MFA exhibition, not a town but a landing page. the choice of showing obsolescence through pairing digital decay and diminishing economies/ghost towns was sobering

When is the last time you checked on your giant box of cables and connectors for devices that you no longer own or no longer exist?

already had to make a document to put things I'm cutting out of my thesis so I wouldn't feel sad about the cuts

Just started my day with news of a former student losing her federal job (one of many who were told overnight) and this article about the decline in arts philanthropy by both left and right-leaning millenials/gen zers and I'm feeling particularly dire... thegraymarket.substack.com/p/the-erodin...

The NEA will no longer fund arts programs that promote DEI or "gender ideology." The federal agency has cancelled grants that have funded programs for underserved communities for more than 20 years.

The president announced Friday that he would remove multiple board members, including the Chairman, who do not share his vision for a "Golden Age in Arts and Culture."

Me talking to people about writing my thesis: I love writing, I'm not worried about this part! Me actually in the word document at 6am because that's my best brain/focus time:

Art funding next….? what a world what a world

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
