Hello everyone! I just wrote a new article describing milestones achieved since day 50. This blog is about Network Science, Graph Theory, Software Engineering, and AI. Enjoy! 🧪 Day 70 of #100daysofnetworks

#DataFeminism appeared in 2020. How come it’s still not established in #DigitalHumanities? Interest seems to have died down 😕 We provide an overview of its principles tailored to #DH in our working paper ⬇️ zfdg.de/wp_2026 PS: Take part in the open public review process! #DHd2026

How do you find volunteers for a #CitizenScience project in an internet built for consumption? #DrawingFromTheCrowd is now featured on #CoLabField — a platform connecting #DigitalHumanities research across #Japan and Europe.

We are testing some changes to the project landing page in the TextGrid Repository. If you have published data there and would like to provide feedback, please contact me! #digitalhumanities #dh #researchdata

I'm so glad that I'm about to submit my DH thesis and embark on a...[checks notes]...now obsolete career.

Digitalhumanities, #librarylife and #NLP friends: has anyone bought a large historical dataset (books, newspapers, maps etc, images or ocr) from a publisher/digitiser to data mine? I’d like to compare notes… either on here or DM me 🙏

For the US #DigitalHumanities crowd: how does one go about looking for DH/DH-adjacent jobs? I live and work in Germany and know all the job boards and mailing lists to subscribe to here. But what about for the US scene? Specifically the Pacific North-West? Appreciate whatever help you can offer. 🙏

I've been using an open access Compendium for my research. I rely heavily on it. It's a 15MB PDF. Full of my highlights & annotations. Today I tried to open it. It's somehow become corrupted. Shrunken down to 550kb. Sure I can download the book again. But one year of annotations, just...gone... 😢

Wer wissen woll, wie in der Theologie digitale Methoden genutzt werden (könnten), findet hier Anregungen. Die erste Einführung in digitale Forschungsmethoden in der Theologie ist online!

Hi #NLP Bluesky, the Multilinguality track at #ACL2026NLP @aclmeeting.bsky.social needs emergency reviewers. If you can complete one or two reviews before February 15, please reach out. Thank you!

Call for Proposals: What does an edited volume look like in a post-print world? What does an edited volume “get” you (in a professional sense)? Do we even still need edited volumes?

once again, i feel compelled to remind academics that when you use theories, methods, and epistemologies of the marginalized but treat your marginalized colleagues and students like shit: you are the problem. and yeah, we see you.

So I'm considering doing a semi-open review for rough chapters of my new writing project. I don't want to put the whole thing online for reasons. Instead, I am thinking of asking for volunteers to read individual chapters and provide structured feedback through a questionnaire. What do you think?

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Johannesburg’s Nyamakop Studios turns African artifact repatriation into a bold heist game. Protagonist Nomali and a crew of ordinary citizens reclaim 70 real-life artifacts taken during the colonial era. The 30-person dev team includes people from Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania.

This is a big ask: I'm the author of popular Python books and currently writing a book on AI and learning to program. Is anyone willing to export their ChatGPT etc accounts so I can see the raw prompts they give? All privacy and judgement-free accommodation given. DM me.

Recent publications arguing against the use of genAI in reflexive qual research inspired us (Elida Ibrahim and @andreavoyer.bsky.social) to write our own perspective. Not to convince anyone to use genAI but for those who might be interested and are looking for guidance. osf.io/preprints/so...

Any doctoral student or early career scholar want to give an online guest lecture on Marcion (preferably) or second century Christianity (but not gnosticism) more broadly? I think I can offer you a $100 stipend for a 45 minute talk. Needs to be MWF 10-1050.

Consider submitting a paper to the session I am organizing at ASA this year on “Comparative-Historical Sociology and Computational Social Science.” The submission deadline is February 25.

@mariaa.bsky.social and I have been building a custom client that we'd like to make public in the near-term BUT we want to make sure we've gotten the security right. Anyone with some expertise open to helping us out a bit?

If you’re in Iceland today, you have to stop by Harpa for UTmessan! The real magic is happening upstairs with the universities—we’re talking VR, 3D scanners, and interactive sims.The tech companies downstairs could honestly take some notes! Definitely don’t miss the @mshl-cdha.bsky.social stand.

This is a great post with many useful tips for Python developers working with AI-assisted coding tools – worth a read, especially if you're still learning! 💡

This took several years and I'm so happy it is finally out. We just released an open-source dataset of nearly 2M African speech records for speech recognition and vocalization (27 languages). Blog: blog.google/intl/en-afri... Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.02734 Dataset: huggingface.co/datasets/goo...

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Bluesky, your time is now! Who can suggest a replacement for my very favorite nonstick turner, which has at long last met its end. Needs: strong enough to flip a quesadilla, thin enough to get under an omelette, long not short, doesn't flop under weight. Send me your links!

Nothing like finding a flaw in your code, causing you to redo *all* your statistical analyses, when you’re already 3/4 done with your thesis…

Berkeley folks, this year’s Language and AI Conference is almost here, both in-person and online. Nicole Oliva is presenting our work on the Midas myth and robotics, arguing for a more liminal approach. Register here: blc.berkeley.edu/initiatives/...
