cleaning out my notes app. discovered I wrote my 2019 kzoo paper by texting a friend and then just saved the screen shots. wild move, past helen.

VidentesMSI members Catherine Albers-Morris (RIT) @helsinhashtags.bsky.social (UNCC), @eagatti.bsky.social (Elon Uni) presented on DH Approaches to Medieval Material Culture @ Southeastern Medieval Association. Papers inspired by work together + shout out to @kalanicraig.bsky.social, Heather Wacha!

Now... @helsinhashtags.bsky.social, what do you think, should we ask for copyright clearance to put this in our book proposal?

Loved seeing @eagatti.bsky.social Katie Albers-Morris and Brian Cook present at SEMA at Uni of Cincinnati

flying out to a conference this morning and as I got in my uber, these two little faces were looking at me

if I stare at my conference paper slide show for enough hours, It will write itself... right?

Saint Matthew and Saint Mark BnF Abbadie Ethiopian 105; የዳዊት Dāwit, Book of Psalms; Reign of Ba'eda Maryam (1468-1478); Tigray; f.51v @gallicabnf.bsky.social

Its just that this conference paper from Bill Endres makes me sound cooler than I have ever sounded in my life

if any one would like to finish my article for me that would be cool?

I set a reminder yesterday to “look at books” and past Helen should really have been a bit more specific

Not how. Why.

I just thought that the life of an English Professor would involve more of actually getting to read

"This article is almost done". *starts reading up on Benjamin and Shannon's communication* This article was almost done...

bold choice for an English King Charles to be taking on Catholic vibes. historically speaking. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"you mentioned Moretti in the syllabus, and so I looked him up. I have a couple of questions about distant reading" my whole semester of teaching has been redeemed. A student read the syllabus? spotted a reference to a scholar and looked up his work? had follow up questions? IS THIS REAL LIFE

Sometimes you have professors whose guidance follows you through the world. Sometimes you find yourself bickering with their ghost in your head. Why, oh why, ghost of Morris Eaves am I now googling the Shannon-Weaver freaking model?

sneaky introducing students to Canterbury Tales as part of a mapping project.

the fact that looking at NEH grant opportunities is starting to give me the same feelings as doom scrolling is depressing

well. it turns out that taking your meds and spending some time outside really does make you hate everything less. WHO KNEW (everyone. everyone knew)

Who needs reality tv when you can have strangers yelling into their phones with the most interesting gossip about their friends’ relationships. Public transit is the gift that keeps on giving

"An English degree is a rip off" said by the people who are currently ripping everyone off. They don't want you to be literate, to understand the context, the references or the rhetoric they are using to scam you. A rip off for THEM. If you can read, write and parse meaning, you're harder to fool.

"welcome to the new faculty research orientation. oh you're in English?" walks away. *crying with laughter*

I am so torn between wondering why this exists and thinking that I need it www.etsy.com/listing/1862...

my only life lesson for everyone ever: make friends with a librarian. half way across the country and @liblarrian.bsky.social is still saving me when my brain is dead.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

"I showed my TAs this photo of you so that they know what you look like" helpful

new article out with these lovelies @eagatti.bsky.social @kalanicraig.bsky.social

I just spent five minutes trying to figure out what a new interface indicator meant on my Mac only to finally figure out it was a bit of fluff on the screen. I did a major in computing science.

Peak conference energy. Analyzing manuscript images

Had a lovely time at ACIS south at @appalachianstate.bsky.social but I am absolutely in love with the stunning Boone, NC

Excited to see great papers, but mostly here for medieval cats

So excited, a book I have a chapter in is out! alastore.ala.org/teaching-inf... I wrote with the incomparable Jess LaBozetta on a Tech Comm class that we co taught for a while. Unfortunately I've moved on from TCID and she's moved on from UCCS, but I still refer to that lesson plan for other things

googling where to find old maps in north carolina to make myself feel better about the state of the world. so if you have suggestions, please do let me know .

starting the day off by emailing grad students that their dream school just stopped accepting phd students in the humanities. cool, cool, cool

yes I should be writing but look

when I was doing my MA a friend used to take away my internet cord when I had to get some writing done (York somehow still required ethernet in 2010) and OH MY GOD I WISH THAT WAS STILL POSSIBLE

I just think so much of my life would feel better if I could just have a few days with some medieval manuscripts. In an archive. That maybe didn’t have wifi or phone service.

it is embarrasing how happy this makes me www.wcnc.com/article/news...

I truly have not missed being at a football school.

am sorry. did the rest of you know that snakes in trees are a new thing that I now have to deal with? new fear about the south.

RARE BOOKS DAY

I don't know how to explain to the much saner manpanion that having a mental breakdown is a completely nessecary part of my writing process

solving existential crises, one cookie at a time. spent the entire morning in a state of dread and crises about teaching - and like why it matters anyway turns out what I needed was a chocolate chip cookie
