New semester and old books. Going into the long weekend with a little light reading 🤣😎 #qc #mls

Just spotted this opening for a Research Associate, Managing Editor and Digital Data Specialist for the World Historical Gazetteer, whgazetteer.org. Deadline is July 11, 2025 tomorrow! Great for folks doing critical GIS & working w/JSON, python: networks.h-net.org/jobs/68811/u...

Today was an emotional, community-embracing, hard-road-ahead facing, goodbye for now. Rather than my usual turn to toxic positivity, I am taking the evening to sit with the sad parting with the NEH that was. This is the song that has been my warm today. 😢 youtu.be/X_qjhckmLTQ?...

Digital humanities, as a field, wouldn't exist without your creativity, stewardship, perseverance, and patience, @brettbobley.bsky.social thank you for staying with the trouble & for making my work and the work of so many others possible. #thanksbrett

Great panel to kick off the day @ #ach2025 "When we are in a position to rebuild..." Celebrating the opportunities created through @neh-odh.bsky.social and @nehgov.bsky.social challenge grants to improve the lives of students across California. Such a loss to see funding cut.

Interested in hearing about the work going on at GC Digital Initiatives? You can livestream presentations from the Praxis class, Provost's Digital Innovation Grants, GC Digital Fellows, and more here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8X3...

This afternoon, three members of NHA's executive committee, @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org, and @modernlanguage.bsky.social, filed a lawsuit seeking to reverse recent actions that threaten to devastate the National Endowment for the Humanities. Learn more: nhalliance.org/nha-statemen...

For the Monday morning crowd: a 🧵on how to appeal your NEH grant termination. Please share with NEH grantees. I also summarized in a shareable google doc, available here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So insulting to the diligent employees, reviewers, & applicants. That second paragraph alone suggests prior awards weren’t merit-based & erodes any confidence I might have that future awards will be merit-based. Phrases like “extreme ideologies based upon race or gender” are racist & misogynistic.

I ran grant programs at @nehgov.bsky.social for over a decade. With colleagues, oversaw review of thousands of grant applications. Witnessed care & thoughtfulness of hundreds of reviewers. This statement is insulting to all of them. Whoever wrote it should be ashamed. www.neh.gov/news/update-...

This week *Feminist Digital Humanities* was listed among books of interest to women scholars by the Women in Academia Report. Lots of great reads in this list! www.wiareport.com/2025/04/rece...

Excited to see *Feminist Digital Humanities: Intersections in Practice* featured by Project MUSE today. Open access was funded by a PSC-CUNY Research Award through the CUNY Research Foundation & Maastricht Library's Open Book fund.

So happy to be part of this wonderful volume! Thanks @lmrhody.bsky.social and Susan Schreibman for excellent editorship.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

The GC Digital Fellows kick the spring semester off by joining Bluesky! Check out their "welcome back" spring post and find out how @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social students, faculty, & staff can join in the learning! @digitalfellows.bsky.social post weekly on Tagging the Tower.

Techbrociopaths: the combination of techbro culture with sociopathic behavior from which they derive pleasure from the prospect of harming others.

I genuinely appreciate that @mikiesherrill.bsky.social 's office had a human answering her phones and recording constituents' calls for her to intervene in the unlawful shut down of USAID and the illegal incursion of Musk and his techbrociopaths into secure gov't systems. Please consider calling.

@kim.senate.gov Your voicemail system is hanging up on callers as a result of being full. At a time like this, constituents' ability to contact your office is vital. If your office aspires to represent your NJ constituents fully, then immediate attention is required to repair communications.

@booker.senate.gov Your voicemail system glitching so badly that it is almost incomprehensible and the voicemail system is full. An online contact form is insufficient. At times like these, access to representatives is vital. Please fix your operations to fully capture your constituents' outrage.

What an amazing trajectory this project has had, what an enormous good it provides, & what a fantastic opportunity it presents to communities of intellectual, interdisciplinary, inter-institutional practice. Bravo to the whole KC team!

The following funding opportunity for digital projects is available to @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social doctoral students. We hope that students consider applying and will encourage others to do the same. gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2024/11/26/a... #cunygradcenter #gcdi #gcdf

Taking some time off work next week? Archiving the internet things you care about can be fast, easy, and reduce feelings of helplessness and despair. We can show you how on Monday.

Excited to share that Feminist Digital Humanities: Intersections in Practice, which Susan Schreibman & I coedited, has a publication date and will be available fully OA on 4/8/2025!! @illinoispress.bsky.social www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p0....

Woah. Zotero on Android looks amazing! It's in beta right now and on the Google Play store.

Techno-determinism is baked into corporate AI educational materials. Eg. Google's course suggests hallucinations are solvable w/ > data, > regularizing, > human-given context and constraints. That's false logic. Hallucinations are inherent. Improving these 4 areas will make them less recognizable.

I always look forward to your doodling, @jojokarlin.bsky.social! Thanks for coming. We had a great GCDF alumni showing with Stefano Morello and Filipa Callado also in attendance :-)

Part-time faculty members can apply for small grants to travel, buy tech, or other stuff. It’s a lottery system, no judgement. And if you think these grants are a good idea and can afford to support them, please donate. www.mla.org/Resources/Ca...
