my institution is also going in this direction. alums and current students got a survey over the summer asking us to pick the new name for the (already merged) compsci/datasci/infosci school, most of them mentioned AI, zero mentioned libraries

Hey, this sucks. Like... a lot. 📚

they're all still free to download individually if that's the move you want to make, but $10 is a discount on the "suggested" price for all of the zines (since they're, you know, not free to make from an emotional labor perspective)

christine @cms.bsky.social · 18d

it's unexpected expense season AND weird income season, so I'm offering all my zines at once for $10 in case you want to support and/or just read some stuff about gender, or gender, or the mistakes i made in college, or asexuality ✨

we've even got a hashtag! #SaturdayLibrarian

christine @cms.bsky.social · 26d

I just explained this project to someone and she was very into it, so I figured I’d offer an update

I’m still doing this btw! and now that we’re somehow in the last third of the year, I’m thinking about how I’m going to write about this experience, the (digital) data I *did* keep and why, etc. 👀 #DHmakes

christine @cms.bsky.social · Jan 10

honestly, #DHmakes, not just for the zine but for my 2025 letter-writing project mentioned!

I’m (hand) writing a letter to a different person every day, mostly not to be sent. some of the only digital data I’m keeping right now is who & how I know them, but we’ll see how that evolves over time.

christine @cms.bsky.social · Jan 7

I don't know what I want my newsletter to be anymore, so I went back to buttondown and cleared out my past posts and am now aiming for "chill."

quick life updates, thinking aloud about writing for no one, and a bonus new zine(!):

i thought i did when i played but it turns out it’s much smoother and harder to parse when you’re not in seventh grade!

i don’t like having a gender or pronouns and picking “they” is really just me rounding to the most approximate vibe
