On September 25, at 1pm ET, I'll be talking with @tjowens.bsky.social about his book, After Disruption. I especially want to know how we think about the values informing cultural memory practice amidst such ubiquitous, nefarious disruption — and plan ahead for the aftermath. Hosted by @archive.org.

*ahem* now for a professional one. I am excited to announce the publication of The Digital 'Anon', a new digital edition of Virginia Woolf's final, unpublished essay drafts which makes this remarkable corpus available as an OA resource. It is available here: www.digital-anon.com.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Very happy to be joining #DH2025 in person this year in Lisbon. Leading the @eadhorg.bsky.social AGM will be a new experience and I am looking forward to connecting with colleagues and friends for the first time in years!

Over the summer I’ll be thinking about my “Writing with Robots” syllabus for next fall Can anyone recommend fiction that wrestles with the version of AI we have in our world right now? That is, *not* about “what does sentience mean?!?!” but more about algorithmic power, etc?

Morello and Estrada explore how place-based learning combined with digital humanities cultivates agency, affirms local knowledge, and helps students form a living archive of student activism at their institution #PlaceBasedLearning #StudentActivism Read: cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/let-my-...

TL;DR: AI is so much dumber than you think, aka it is not actually „intelligent“ at all, it can‘t remotely do what most people seem to think it already can, it‘s just good at faking human „thinking“. There is no ghost in the machine. Please stop falling for the grift.

Very pleased to say Paul Gooding, @semames.bsky.social and I are looking for a PhD student, funded by AHRC @sgsah.bsky.social. Topic: '“Mainlining AI into the Veins”? Library collections as data in the age of Extractive AI Capitalism'. Closing 5pm, Friday 30th May 2025. Please share!

I'll be dedicating today's event to Joshua Clover, who gave us critical karaoke, a form of research writing w/ music that also amplified our work this sem. Equally, a shout-out to Karen Tongson for orchestrating a brilliant critical karaoke at HISS 25. My gratitude for both: in memory, in community.

A colleague is teaching digital humanities students a bit about GitHub Pages+Jekyll; their go-to theme repo to fork (github.com/barryclark/j...) hasn't been updated in 7 years. Do yall have suggestions for *minimal+novice-friendly* forkable Jekyll repos that are still actively maintained? #mincomp +

Someday it would be fun to teach citation chaining by doing an exquisite corpse thing where each student annotates an article in sequence. They can pick whatever article they want but they have to forward- or backward-chain 1 step to get to it.

Some good news for this Friday. This astonishing group of people have spun up ERICA, the ERIC archive. www.datarescueproject.org/erica-to-the... #GLAMS #Skybrarians #AcademicSky

I’m not shy about my disdain for employee “productivity” monitoring tools or the security risks they pose, so feeling a bit vindicated right now. Remember: if a third party can see your screen, how do you know someone can’t spy on the third party?

4) I need some information and I wish to just pose my question to an all-knowing oracle. DO NOT DO THIS. Chatbots, even if they could reliably return "the" correct answer, are not a good tech for information access. buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch... >>

National parks were the main places I wanted my kids to see, and I wrote about them in THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP. Breaks my heart that the book is coming out as Trump tries to make good on his plans to destroy them. I hope my book helps the effort to fight back. www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com
