Hi, I’m a PhD Candidate at Harvard and the Founder of Analog Social . My writing explores how history, ideas, and technology shape our understanding of what it means to be human.

Looking to connect with more people chatting about Ai, the humanities , and digital wellness #ai #tech

AI companies are running out of data, humanists hold the key and thus the power on the future of AI. This is my AI collapse thesis. Shortly after sharing this on Meta platforms I was accused of not being human and my accounts (100k+) were shut down. #ai

Data like archives are not neutral. It's important to include humanists in conversations on AI.

I am convinced now more than ever that the key to better research and discovery is semantic search engines.

I cannot describe in proper words how painful it is to try to find something that you know exists, but are unable to locate due to outdated systems. Every database and library should switch.

Microsoft Word has been acting up a lot for me recently, so I need a new place to write my dissertation.

Has anyone used Scrivener? What are your thoughts? What writing software would you recommend?

Sorry for the typo! I was in shock when I saw the email from my librarian and I didn’t think this would gain traction so quickly🥲

I’ve spent 2 years trying to track down a primary source book. Only about 5 surviving copies exist in the world.

Then I finally reached out to my librarian and she was able to track down a copy within a week.

For every of historian, there are librarians making our work possible. 🗃️

I’m referring to solidarity networks between the Black Diaspora and the Irish Diaspora or black people and Irish people in the UK/Northern Ireland.

One of the best, unputdownable trade press books I've ever read on the British Empire is Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire by Kojo Koram.

I read it almost in one sitting, the only thing that interrupted me was the fact that I had to go teach a section. 🗃️

Wonderful — thank you!
