Hard to believe this good doggo is FOURTEEN?! Other than a little arthritis on a joint that was always wobbly you can't really tell

Heading back to Brooklyn tomorrow and the best stretch of late July weather I’ve EVER seen in the city (not counting smoke, though)

Hi from Chicago where aqi is 500-950 (!!!) in the north shore even though it doesn't look as bad as NYC

Just as I couldn't have written Cyborg without Full Surrogacy Now, I can tell you @reproutopia.bsky.social latest, Femmephilia, is going to be my companion this fall while I work on Why the Engineering School Needs Feminism

Reading copy cover of Sophie Lewis, Femmephilia, show a blue and green, rather floral octopus swimming on a background of pinks, purples, and baby blue

But: OH NOOO, green are permitted uses and this does NOT AT ALL seem compatible with a lot of other language stating that teacher expertise and knowledge will not be eroded by AI tools

Brainstorming and Organizing

Educators use AI to explore lesson ideas, approaches, and unit planning, aligned with intellectual property guidance.

Working on plans for the nine yards of this pink-brown-blue-white striped/plaid fabric, I promised Ms Four I'd use it to make us matching outfits and she is PSYCHED to dress just like mommy

How I did in fact start my talk last week

Danya Glabau@allergyphd· Feb 27

I went to a workshop at our library this morning and made a tiny zine!

On the left, a sketch of a broom with the words: "TECHNOLOGY is the active human interface with the material world."

On the right, a spool of hot pink thread and: "we can all learn. That's the neat thing about technologies. They're what we can learn to do."

On the left page: "interdependent," and an image of a woman's hands using a sewing machine

On the right, a brown and grey beach in winter

On the left, three brooms surrounded by the words: "technology takes together by the witch's broom"

On the right, four sharp sewing implements and "improvise theory in the rupture"

Back cover. Cites: Ursula K. Le Guin, A Rant About Technology, La paperson, A Third University Is Possible

A picture of flowers in two vases, and finally: (Bring back the analog!)

I'm low-key jealous of this dress I finished for Ms Four last night

Me made pants obviously part of this whole... situation.

Danya Glabau@allergyphd· Feb 13

This has been on my reading list for years, and on my desk for months. Picked it up today also inspired by @shannonmattern.bsky.social ! Little did I know that it is about witches and cyborgs 🧹🪄🤖👾

In case anyone is wondering how the Year of Crafts is going, here's the jumpsuit I started making over the weekend! I have to cut it up and reduce the torso length by 3-4", got hit by Australian pattern sizing here, the crotch is literally at my knees. The grading on the leg width also sucks for me

For Reasons, like the plain woven linen I ordered hasn't arrived yet and I'm impatient, my second sewing project is in denim 😬

My first sewing project is now done and pressed! Silk noil basic top, mainly for work

I made about 2/3 of a silk noil blouse this morning and stayed off the hell site all day, ten minutes back and I'm heading for a panic attack So instead, look at my topstitching!! I haven't made a garment in 27 years or so! Instead of scrolling maybe I will finish it tonight

I also got this dark indigo linen-cotton 7oz denim sample that goes perfectly with this gray. I love the high contrast in the weave, and it's soft as pajamas. Might need to make a whole outfit?!

PALATE CLEANSE I've been super slow on this grey alpaca sweater after starting it FIVE times to get it right, but the body is finally close to complete!

I think we played Verdi's requiem in rehearsal that night, I don't have that, but Berstein's extraordinarily propulsive direction of Dvorak's New World Symphony works probably better for racists invading Latin America again

I made great progress with getting hard pants out of my life in 2025, but in 2026, with the help of this delightful machine, it will be official and irrevocable
