Attended a zine-making workshop at NAAS 2025. We sat in companionable silence, listening to music, coloring, cutting, and pasting. It was a fun, relaxing, and refreshing way to think through the material I was presenting the next day. Definitely going to use this in the classroom #NAASpirations
Thank you @naas2025 for a *superbly* organized conference, three days of great talks & inspiring keynotes, & such a lovely closing reception. #NAASpirations
It was such a privilege to chair Julie Sze's incredible keynote lecture at @naas2025.bsky.social !
