    🤣 Look at Twitter thinking I have $10K just sitting around... Bahahaha!

    A twitter ad from MasterworksIO that says: skip our wait list to invest in paintings by artists like banksy and basquiat with 10 to 25% historical appreciation. Minimum starting at $10,000.

    I like to think mine is a quote retweet that turned into a 200 part 🧵 that ends with a galaxy brain gif and the "I regret nothing" chicken.

    of whom is your dissertation a subtweet?

    Heist montage 🎬 Techie says that the heist is impossible bc they can't crack lava lamp entropy. X leaning in from the shadows says "It's covered!" Cut. They're in a cat suit upside down covering the cam with a still photo of lava lamps.

    One of the features of knowledge work is its intrinsic disorientation. One finishes the day not really knowing what one has done.

    Oooo! I like this!

    What might scholarly search look like if it privileged values of pluralism and critique? Relata, an experimental search tool based at and developed in cooperation w/ , centers not individual works but the relations between them.

    Hey I love the MC Hammer's academic nerdiness much as anyone. What I do not love is continued surprise that Black entertainers & entrepreneurs have more going on than you see on stage or on recordings.

    What a fun way to procrastinate today. 💜

    Illustration of me made using the makowka character maker II. It's a portrait from the shoulders up. I have long wavy purple hair, gold hoop earrings, a smile, and a off-white blazer on. There is a speech bubble with a heart in it by my face.

    "When you measure include the measurer." —MC Hammer 👨‍🍳👌💋 This quote will be featured in STS slide decks from classrooms to conference halls for years to come. Absolute legend.

    You bore us. If science is a “commitment to truth” shall we site all the historical non-truths perpetuated by scientists ? Of course not. It’s not science vs Philosophy ... It’s Science + Philosophy. Elevate your Thinking and Consciousness. When you measure include the measurer.

    When you write about the Internet as if it were only Facebook, Google, and Twitter, you help to create that version of the Internet.

    ... Daft Punk has been a staple in the soundtrack of my life for decades. Sad to see them split. But grateful for the 28 years. 🤍💛

    Still from Daft Punk's Epilogue. Two helmeted beings walking away from the camera with Daft Punk jackets on. One is walking slowly in the foreground and the other walking quickly is out of focus in the background.

    Yet another example about how technical accessibility =\= inclusive access. Also, WTF is this guy policing his student's facial expressions and eye contact for? Not only is this incredibly ableist, it is creepy cop shit that has no place in a classroom.

    I wrote about the Gamestop/Robinhood episode. Can we please, please, PLEASE stop separating the digital tools/internet from social and political dynamics in our analyses? Yes, tech platforms matter, yes, their business models matter, yes the rest matters.
