We are concerned deeply by a report that staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were instructed not to use certain words in budget documents.

Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Exhibition Dates: September 13 – December 7, 2024Opening Reception: September 19, 2024

Kelly Church & Cherish Parrish: In Our Words, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors), young folx, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories, as well as those of survivance and resilience, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing, thinking, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works, including 15-17 new works. Together, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women, culture wars, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living, sustenance, and making.
Curated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.
Stamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

After we changed everyone's passwords a couple of weeks ago, people were asking some questions about passwords and personal data.  Firstly, we don't hold much personal data- as people have usernames, we don't know real names. We do ask for the year and date of birth to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We ask for an active email account and send a link that has to be clicked on to complete the registration. This is to make it harder for automated registration by advertisers and spammers. We also ask where you're from, where you are based now and what your first language is. There are also optional fields where people can add biographical information and interests if they wish. Unless you use your real name as a username or connect via Facebook, the data is anonymous. If an acount is deleted, this information is deleted from our records.

SEPT. 21 AN EVENING WITH JESS WALTER AND THE SPOKANE SYMPHONY…

In this episode, Thomas Domville shows you how to share passwords and passkeys with people you trust on iOS.

With password sharing in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, you can create a shared group and add your family and friends to it. Then you can choose which passwords and passkeys you want to share with them. The shared credentials will sync across all the devices in the group.

Step-by-step:

To create a shared group, go to Settings > Passwords and double-tap the Add button in the top-right corner. Double-tap "New Shared Group," name the group, and double-tap Add People. Type in the contact information of the people you want to add, then double-tap Add. Double-tap Create to continue.

You will then be prompted to select passwords you want to share with the group; double-tap the ones you want to share, then double-tap the Move button in the top-right corner. If you are not ready to share any passwords yet, double-tap "Not Now."

To edit a group, go to Settings > Passwords and double-tap the name of the group. Double-tap "Manage" to add or remove members, change the group name, or delete the group.

To accept or decline an invitation to a group, make sure your device has iOS 17 or later, iPadOS 17 or later, or macOS Sonoma or later. Go to Settings > Passwords > Group Invitations and double-tap the invitation. Double-tap Accept to join the group, or Decline to reject it.

Is there a way to change the Microsoft voice Zira so she stops saying "Mississippi" when the word miss is used as a title or with a period at the end of it? I found two files (MSTTSLocEnUS.dat and MSTTSLocEnCA.dat) in the folder C:WindowsSpeech_OneCoreEnginesTTS that contain the text "mississippi" but they are both dat files and when I open them in Wordpad or Notepad, I cannot find the text. I looked in Windows Speech options and there is no place to fix pronunciations. I am using Windows 11 and it does not seem to happen when I use the David voice, only the Zira voice.

Sundays, noon to three Pacific via Roll20 and Discord! Room for up to four players! Swords of the Serpentine is a fantasy role-playing game based on the GUMSHOE engine. It emphasizes investigative play, following leads, unraveling mysteries, and over-the-top swashbuckling action. To quote the blurb on the back of the rulebook: "a game of daring heroism, sly politics, and bloody savagery, set in a fantasy city rife with skullduggery and death". No experience necessary, we're all new to the game and learning together.
