If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Anthropic has settled a $1.5B class-action lawsuit brought by authors for copyright infringement. The settlement relates to 500,000 titles. Affected authors are each entitled to $3K in payout. My book's on there. Here's where to check if yours is too. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

I’m too excited about this.

So let me be very clear: there was a massive rash of bomb threats at universities nationwide this week. ELEVEN of them specifically called out the university or college libraries.

Can’t heap enough praise on this book, which feels like will become a touchstone of the environmental humanities, the kind of book that bleeds over into serious nonfiction, enviro/nature writing, eco criticism, etc. Just a stunning, brilliant work.

I’m excited for this crucial book, University Keywords. @andyhines.bsky.social convened an awesome crew of writers for it. I co-wrote entries on “Alternative Institutions” (with Andy) and on “Sustainability” (with Andy, Jesse Goldstein, and @kaibosworth.bsky.social).

I wrote about close reading. What it is, why it matters, and what John Guillory gets right and wrong in his recent On Close Reading. Offers a sneak peek of a little of what @johannawinant.bsky.social and I are up to in our forthcoming Close Reading for the 21C www.thenation.com/article/soci...

In the Rochester, NY area? Do not miss this.

I am super grateful to Marco Abel and Luis Othoniel Rosa for the invitation to Humanities on the Edge, to present on my possible future book that I am now calling “post-apocalyptic humanities”. I was very happy to see friends old and new and talk to the community

it's been such incredible hosting this series for @nature.com's careers podcast. it's about the mental health toll of academia. and every single conversation has been incredible. ep1: www.nature.com/articles/d41... (search Working Scientist wherever you get your pods!)

I love comics and graphic novels as well as stories depicting the lives and experiences of Black people of the diaspora, so it was a pleasure to write this round-up for Penguin Random House #Blackbooksky #comicbooks #booksky www.penguinrandomhouse.com/the-read-dow...

Life-saving, even, for some and stunningly supportive and educational for many of us. The “dancing teen” canard coupled with the smug “i’M gLAd I WAs nEvER on IT” snark from academics who otherwise see themselves and their work as deeply rooted in social justice rankles.

This AI roast is just so right. I think it picked up on my woefully inconsistent posts for the 20-day #bookchallenge (we agreed to 20 days but no one said they had to be sequential, right??😏)

Day 4

Day 1

I’m so happy to announce the book series I'm editing with @glavey.bsky.social & @kjavadizadeh.bsky.social for Amherst College Press. It's called Re:Verse and is dedicated to the poetry collection. Each short book will be about one particular book of poems. Inquiries and pitches very welcome!

#envhum and #envhist colleagues: any text suggestions (book, video, audio, digital) for an upper division course in Env hum that work well for mixed undergrads with both strong and weak STEM backgrounds? My class is taken by English majors and Env Studies/Bio majors in roughly equal numbers. Thanks

ICYMI Call for proposals: Pop culture made me do it! an edited collection exploring how popular culture informs our life choices, work, and identity. #CFP for #AcademicSky #PopCulture #Communication and other scholars. So many great ideas flowing in! tag me if interested or have questions.

Do my Bluesky friends know _The Night Albums: Visibility and the Ephemeral Photograph_ (2021)? Kate Palmer Albers' bk is such a great guide to how we see NOW but there's also much of interest for #19thc studies. Forgive my bad photograph of the book's cover--its illegibility is oddly apt!

This is a fantastic time for #envhum #envhist books

Graphic Medicine is seeking new folks to join our board! We are a very hands-on, do-the-thing kind of board and that includes everything from the graphic medicine website to the conference to special initiatives like the Frontline Workers Comics project.

I am OBSESSED with this season.

I just found this podcast with Patrick Blanchfield and Abby Kluchin—“A podcast about psychoanalysis, politics, pop culture, and the ways we suffer now”—excited to start listening

CfS: Issue 2 of DiSCo Journal: ...we invite submissions from all disciplines to rethink HACKING as a digital and/or analogue method of deviation from, or interference with, a SYSTEM. Submissions can be: – Textual – Static Art – Audio-Visual – Interactive Media – Something completely off the rails

Hey hey! @rscar.bsky.social and I have a piece in Aeon that's up today. If you'd like to read it and even leave a comment, it'd mean a lot to us. Be nice, tho. No misprision, please. Sadly, I don’t have many followers here yet, so please circulate widely! aeon.co/essays/shoul...

Well worth watching, especially if you are on the deep adaptation journey. 53 mins, YouTube.

I have a good feeling about this one.
