"The idea of developing a cartography that illustrates the physical and geopolitical dimensions of the internet's structure is an attempt to materialize the cloud." Just shared by Dr. Maria José Afanador-Llach as part of the Day 2 #ACH2026 Keynote. @ach.bsky.social

My goodness Heather Froehlich and Garrett R Smith's slides are absolutely beautiful. My photo does not do them justice! #ACH2026 @heatherfro.bsky.social

Really lovely to hear a shoutout to the STSR we worked on at Pitt! sites.haa.pitt.edu/sustainabili... A project that's still close to my heart and that Dr. Alison Langmead spearheaded with funding from the NEH @chelseagunn.bsky.social @neh-odh.bsky.social #ACH2026

Love the ENDURS acronym Cori Kemper, Jacob Muller, Christina Boyles developed for sustainable digital (community) archives: embodiment, navigability, discoverability, usability, readability, and sustainability #ACH2026

Thanks for this DH Digital Accessibility Pedagogy Zotero, Amalia Herrmann! www.zotero.org/groups/65964... #ACH2026

As the US approaches its dubious milestone of 250 years, we could all use an escape — preferably, one filled with art.

That's us! #ach2026 @macalestercollege.bsky.social @ach.bsky.social

Macalester is a Regional Hub for the @ach.bsky.social virtual conference this week! Learn more at macalester.edu/dla/events/ach-2026/. Image incorporates Sir William Thomson's sketch for a tide-predicting machine. Colors inspired by Charles Howard Hinton's tesseracts @publicdomainrev.bsky.social.

Because old technology is better than the new.

I have been through two rounds of quibbles as a reviewer because I’m trying to prevent everything we accomplished from being overwritten by a claim that ChatGPT is a DH tool.

Looking forward to once again hosting a Regional Hub for ACH at Mac. Please register to join if you're in the area! @ach.bsky.social

I'm always inspired by @publicdomainrev.bsky.social and the history of computing publicdomainreview.org/collection/v.... And that's how this @ach.bsky.social sample promo image was conceived.

Excited to once again serve as a Regional Hub for ACH! The theme of @ach.bsky.social 2026 is Emergence/ia. More information soon!

Come work with me @macalestercollege.bsky.social! careers-macalester.icims.com/jobs/2327/di...

Still Substacking every week! This is my way of surviving 2026 🫠

Bertillon, McLuhan, Leiderman, and...Sex and the City?

Two cakes! I put mine out in like, idk, 2023? Just because I wanted something for my pages and stuff and thought hey why don't I share it with everyone else as well I make big ol stickers & label sheets to go with. It's been pretty neat! Just placed another order for more of the big vinyl stickers

Lovely to see this event written up by Rabi. Thanks again for letting me know about Mairéad's work, @chelseagunn.bsky.social!

Excited to be back at it with our Macalester Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon last week! Amelia was even featured on MPR! www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

On Wikipedia, Francesca Woodman, Alex Oliver, and Mary-Kim Arnold. Very excited to see this news today, too: www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba....

This is the way

My week of unrestrained sentimentality aislingquigley.substack.com/p/twelfth-in...

The Center for Craft is accepting applications for the 2026 Craft Archive Fellowship, offering four $5,000 awards to support research on underrepresented craft histories in the United States.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've owned War and Peace (2005 Penguin Classics edition) for more than 17 years and still..haven't read it. I explain more here and, as always, find a way to connect it back to Ireland.

Forthcoming chapter co-written with @chelseagunn.bsky.social now feels even more official. Pre-order link available: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/libraries-ar...

And another:

New post, for anyone.

Continuing to overshare about my past.

Grateful to @europeana.bsky.social for bringing me these preserved fuchsias.

On strike today here in MN (Fuck ICE). Staying home and re-reading @laurenmarkham.bsky.social's Immemorial in preparation for discussion in class next week. So glad @nextchapterbooksmn.bsky.social not only had this IN STOCK (I initially read it through my library's ILL), but as a staff rec!

Fourth Post- Continuing this despite ICE's invasion.

New post + bonus interview with my parents :)

Archivists are activists, too.

Wading into the world of Substack for the first time. Wish me luck!

Thank you, @bcmerchant.bsky.social! www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete...

Excited to have a chapter in this, co-written with the ever-amazing @chelseagunn.bsky.social

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Twenty years after I started college @carleton.edu I got to spend part of my 38th birthday enjoying the Arb, ~800 acres adjacent to campus. Even though I ran in the arb almost every day as a student, I still took it for granted! What a remarkable place 🍂

So grateful to the organizers and presenters @civicsoftech.bsky.social for "Communal Resistance to Artificial Systems." Learning so much from Lee Skallerup Bessette and her class coursesites.georgetown.domains/writ-1150-16... (reminding me that I wrote a speech about the pencil as an 8-year-old?)

OCLC has laid 80 people off, not just because of IMLS cuts but explicitly because they're trying to use AI to do the work of library professionals. Ready to admit AI is a huge labor problem yet? 📚 www-nbc4i-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbc4...
