Hilary Havens talking about the Maria Edgeworth letters project, so awesome to see these digital workflows and linked open data in use for this massive project. Huge #dh inspiration for #18thC #asecs26 #asecs2026 🗃️

@ecswd.bsky.social i.e. Ea Wilcox and I are vibing with unplanned zines for each of our talks on #sexhist in #18thC for #asecs26. Total delight to see how this project evolves and hope to get more involved! #sexworkiswork

@biblioscholar.bsky.social great job organizing everything, digital people doing so many nifty things! #asecs26 #asecs2026

@alicetm.bsky.social dropping DIY #DH knowledge and resources here at #asecs26 like wow, really impressed by her ideas about markdown and minimal computing, so great #asecs2026 #18thc

Yes, I did bring my bone folder to prep my handout that's a mini zine for my #asecs26 talk tomorrow late morning about #sexhist in #18thc London, come join the fun if you can.

Heading to #asecs2026 for some #18thc fun, trains have gotten me to Paris, next stop Newark (after standing in some more lines that is).

If you are in Basel tomorrow afternoon, I'm talking about cats as memes from the #18thc till now. Plus have some nifty new things to share I made w/ Lewis Walpole Library digital collections. 10 March, 14:15 @unibas.ch #DH #DigitalHumanities lab, @ Allschwilerstrasse 14, 3rd flr, Sitzungszimmer.

Hi all, today marks the end of my time as a postdoc for the Punch's Pocket Book Archive project. I'm not 100% sure what's next, big picture, but in the meantime here's a post I wrote last month about #19thC Crystal Palace dinosaurs, ht @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social for info 🦖🦕 ppbka.hypotheses.org/2803

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only:

reuncoveredpodcast.buzzsprout.com/2206728/epis... THE PODCAST IS LIVE Y'ALL. Please give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts and get into women of metal type design #reuncovered 📚🗃️

Surprised that Emo family don't have bangs in their face, black nail polish, and a livejournal link as well, although if you squint at the black bendy...

Y'all. The Re(un)covered podcast's first season is fully going to launch before 6 October. I am excited & slightly terrified. bio.link/reuncoveredp... Listen if interested in: women's history beyond #18thC, making things, #archives #recovery #graphicdesign #typography #podcasts #letterforms #c20 📚

So... The Beggar's Opera redux? Because that's what a musical about #18thCentury Jack Sheppard screams to me. If anyone at the David Bowie Centre wants to get in touch with people who know more about that context, I've got some ideas...

Pufflings now in your feed, you are welcome

That feeling when you scroll just a bit too far in your feed and then end up more depressed than when you got on here seeking something to lift you up—and found some sparkling moments of light and laughter—but then kept going. Who to blame besides late stage capitalism? #amwriting

share.libbyapp.com/title/9919849 Just finished reading The No-Girlfriend Rule and kept thinking of @friede.bsky.social, all the others I know who play RPGs. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick, queer gamer YA novel with plenty of heart as a #summerread. #amreading #onvacation

My kingdom for paying people to do editorial labor across the board... because it's really, really, REALLY important. The scars from negative, mean, unprofessional feedback last for years/decades and are so unnecessary.

Read "The Cyber-Homunculus: On Race and Labor in Plans for Computation" by Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal from the Fall 2022 issue of Configurations It's #OpenAccess via @projectmuse.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/article/867525

Almost up to 30 likes on the #18thcentury 2.0 feed, we love to see it. It seems like everything is behaving correctly too. So whatever you tag with #c18th, #18thC, or #c18 should show up. Appreciation to folks like @sarahmurden.bsky.social, @nguthrie.bsky.social who always keep the images coming!

Here's the ultra-short read on the Mamdani logo design www.gq.com/story/zohran...

The deeper this thread goes the more I just had to laugh, thank you for all you do @midnightpals.bsky.social

okay, somehow the 2.0 feed became everything onhere but I think for real now it should just show #18thC content 🤞 My tests aren't fully interacting so please do give a shout if something doesn't show up after you post #c18th things, thx

Thanks to @drbibliomane.bsky.social we've got a skyfeed driven #c18th feed now since blueskyfeeds host is sadly shutting down. Please go and like the 2.0 version here and let me know if you run into any issues along the way! bsky.app/profile/did:... #18c #c18

It's been a tough few months over here but I'm really excited to share some joy: I wrote this piece about brothels for the DIGITENS open-access Digital Encyclopaedia on Sociability in Europe in the Long Eighteenth Century: www.digitens.org/en/notices/b... 🗃 #sexwork #sexhistory #c18th, check it out

HAPPENING TODAY don't miss this awesome #18thc event. I mean, the line up alone is... *wonderful*... 😍😻🫶

@susannah-sm.bsky.social I bet you have thoughts about this...

Grateful to Katina and all the people she interviewed for spelling out the appalling impact of the NEH grant terminations. Share this with your relatives. Send them to impact.ach.org to look up the grants cut in their state and call their representatives.

#psa: when you have a presentation and it has a time limit because part of a panel, please practice so that you actually stay inside said time limit. No one will mind if you run short. They will definitely mind if you run long. Keep your audience's goodwill! #asecs2025 #scholaring

If your grant is canceled, you don't have to just accept it. Head over to @ach.bsky.social for tips for what to do next, and keep an eye out for their upcoming town hall. Really proud of how my professional organization is showing up in this moment. Do you know what yours is doing to respond?

Okay #asecs2025, who is ready for some #18thC cat meme action? I'm talking about cats I found looking at a selection of Lewis Walpole Library imagetexts THIS SATURDAY during the last session slot. It's going to be mega serious. But you should still come.

Alors, postes-section-11.info dit le wiki sera sur le site de la @saesfrance.org, mais le site même (à saesfrance.org/carriere/act...) donne toujours l'adresse en haut. Odyssée à 51 offres de poste #section11 à ce moment. Le wiki n'existe plus ou ??? Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer svp ?

Beau Brummell's grave is less than a 10 minute walk from my office in Caen, France. Figured others interested in this long #18thC #regency #19thC dandy should know more, so I did a deeper-than-expected dive into his life and final resting place for the #PPBkA blog: ppbka.hypotheses.org/1101

It was so fun!!! Thanks to all you #odsecs fans of the long #c18 who helped us kick off a great new seminar season.

#asecs2025 abstract submitted wheeeeeee #18thc scholaring after a week in the British Library mostly deciphering Victorian era handwriting. Definitely having fun thinking about cats, memes, and social media in #c18 contexts

Very stoked to listen to Kathryn Hughes talk about #19thc cats and her book Catland with the National Archives, how they change from #c18 representations that look like weasels (very true)

This is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️🧛 you should definitely go. And not just because I'm hosting this online event. Audience members are also free to come in costume too, just to put it out there. #18thc #vampires #romanticism #c19

First day of my new job AND going to get keys to new apartment this morning. This whole move to France thing is really happening

TFW you have 150 book boxes. And aren't entirely sure those will be enough...

Turns out packing up your whole life to move across the ocean requires LOTS of boxes. And time. #psa

#aphraconference has officially begun! Excited for this week of #AphraBehn delights. First up: Christine Charlesworth talking about creating the Behn statue that will be installed in Canterbury Feb 2025

I realized I never finished this Fair Jilt thread, but the story gets SO BANANAS including: *Attempted assassinations *Botched beheadings where the guy SURVIVED *Banishments *Lawsuits AND IS BASED ON REAL LIFE EVENTS, they found all kinds of receipts in Dutch archives. #Aphraconference

@susannah-sm.bsky.social you need to see this immediately

so much depends upon knowing the right William Carlos Williams poem for laughing loudly at this delightful gem

Exciting news! I have an 18-month postdoc starting this September. I'll be helping launch the #c19th Punch's Pocket Book Archive digital project at Université Caen, France. Very excited to join the team, plus move back to France. Now I have my visa appointment, so feels official official.

Delighted to learn my sleep sounds app has a fantastic sense of humor
