I realized recently that in 10 years of teaching I don't think I've ever asked students to pay for a textbook for a class -- largely due to these excellent draft chapters of Jurafsky & Martin.

Ode to CultureLab by Gen AI right now at @psl-univ.bsky.social with @artjomshl.bsky.social 😂❤️

The CultureLab Kick-Off @psl-univ.bsky.social is in full swing! The day started with an opening speech by Stéphane Verger et al. and an opening presentation by @sobchuk.bsky.social! Thanks to @oliviermorin.bsky.social @jbcamps.bsky.social & @floriancafiero.bsky.social for organising!

Scholarly XML for VS Code v0.4.0 introduces Schematron validation and XInclude support. Check it out! It's a free & open source tool to help you encode TEI files with validation and auto complete marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... #tei2025

At #TEI2025 the opening keynote Jadwiga Kita-Huber emphasizes the need for universities in Poland to recognize digital scholarly editions as research for the faculty and scholarly community! This is serious research—and this needs to be respected!

We're officially launching the new PSL CultureLab in 10 days ! If you're interested in the research of a collective bridging Computational Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Evolution, you can check our programme (and come to our event, if you're in Paris 22 September): psl.eu/agenda/collo...

Do you have an idea for a #digitalhumanities #hackathon project? Would you like our (@ecoledeschartes.bsky.social @psl-univ.bsky.social) DH students to work on it? Reach out! www.chartes.psl.eu/gazette-char...

For screen readers to recognize headings, heading text can't just be body text or normal text that's been made to look bigger and bolder. It must be formatted as a heading. In Microsoft Word and Google Docs, this can be done in the styles box. In HTML, use the tags h1 through h6.

If you do #DigitalMedievalStudies consider submitting to panels we are organising for #IMC2026 by @imc-leeds.bsky.social, sponsored by @digitalmedievalist.bsky.social! Feel free to get in touch if you have questions!

Gosh, I don’t know how I missed this announcement post but I am delighted to continue my work for the DM community! Thanks to everyone who run and/or voted!

Open access available, but very happy with my paper copy. Thanks and congratulations Bart, Lisa and @hugenjelmar.bsky.social www.brepols.net/products/IS-...

So our open access edited volume was used as training data for generative AI? Great, maybe it will push the material philological understandings of Old Norse literature into main stream.
