Meeting N++l after a few months and since their successful top surgery is sheer happiness. There’s still so much to talk, for me to learn, and for us to catch up on life and after care in these times. Such has been the experiences of this week w/ and alongside the Vikalp art exhibition: heartening.

The @jitp.bsky.social issue 29 deadline is approaching. @bynikkibarnes.bsky.social, Asma Neblett, and I are co-editing this issue—and we welcome works that rethink making in DH, incl, but not limited to, situated critiques of labor, power, and colonial oppression cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/jitp-ca...
Concluding with grounded practices of hope and a shout-out to Mariame Kaba, we—@acarantomorford.bsky.social, @arungapatchka.bsky.social, and I—see "hope as an infrastructure itself, cobuilt in connection with lands, waters, and cyberspace, moving us to BYOI: as Build Your Otherwise Infrastructure."
