<big>Extract Your Signal Message History...</big> 
Ever wondered what your message history reveals about your communication patterns? This workshop teaches you to extract and visualize your own Signal message history using open-source tools, keeping your data entirely on your local machine while exploring patterns like messaging frequency, vocabulary usage, and communication habits. You’ll also practice democratic design to explore techniques for message history analysis, wearable self-data collection concepts, and definitions of SD-core. 

<big>and/or Make Jewelry!</big> 
With various chains, clips, and jewelry-making supplies available, the presenters will help you store your visualized message history self-data on a micro-SD card that you can craft into a piece of jewelry! Bring your own micro-SD or purchase one from the workshop at cost. You can subvert the extractive data economy and flaunt your independence from the Data Giants one fashionable piece at a time.

<big>Extract Your Signal Message History...</big> 
Ever wondered what your message history reveals about your communication patterns? This workshop teaches you to extract and visualize your own Signal message history using open-source tools, keeping your data entirely on your local machine while exploring patterns like messaging frequency, vocabulary usage, and communication habits. You’ll also practice democratic design to explore techniques for message history analysis, wearable self-data collection concepts, and definitions of SD-core.

<big>Workshop Introduction</big> 
'''Extract Your Signal Message History...''' 
Ever wondered what your message history reveals about your communication patterns? This workshop teaches you to extract and visualize your own Signal message history using open-source tools, keeping your data entirely on your local machine while exploring patterns like messaging frequency, vocabulary usage, and communication habits. You’ll also practice democratic design to explore techniques for message history analysis, wearable self-data collection concepts, and definitions of SD-core. 

'''and/or Make Jewelry!''' 
With various chains, clips, and jewelry-making supplies available, the presenters will help you store your visualized message history self-data on a micro-SD card that you can craft into a piece of jewelry! Bring your own micro-SD or purchase one from the workshop at cost. You can subvert the extractive data economy and flaunt your independence from the Data Giants one fashionable piece at a time.
