Here's an article for our students! I remember when the WWW, hypertext links, + browsers were new, but to my students it's always been there...The article tells of the web's origins in context w/ the era of Big Tech's AI. That context is urgent for us all just now. web.archive.org/web/20251001...

Our closing keynote for #TEI2025 is @juliaflanders.bsky.social , who speaks earnestly of TEI’s ongoing relevance in an ethical formulation of our technologies and data structures.

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!

Here, @djakacki.bsky.social and I collaborate in a big thank you statement to the hosts and supporters of #digitalhumanities at @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social from the @teiconsortium.bsky.social . We love being here in Kraków for TEI 2025!

We are so excited to be presenting shortly at #dh2025 on making a small explainable AI model “DigitAI” w/ our knowledge graph made from the #TEI Guidelines, and the declarative power of XSLT 3 (and 4) in work like this! Here are our slides! 1. bit.ly/digitai-dh25 2. bit.ly/xslt-2025

Delighted to be learning from Javier Cha (opening keynote at #DH2025) about the RAG modeling we’re exploring now! I love how he tracks the progress from Cytoscape network viz to neo4j graph modeling in small systems for humanities data!

Excited to learn the latest about Voyant/Spyral the #dh2025 workshops!

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

The first doctoral program of its kind, our new Ph.D. in Computational Cultural Studies trains students to combine historical, theoretical, and cultural scholarship with computational methodologies. To learn more: www.cmu.edu/dietrich/english/academic-programs/computational-cultural-studies

Right now, I would implore everyone to start generally thinking about readiness and situational awareness in major cities. Link up with neighbors. Who are your trusteds? If you travel-- what is your plan for international travel/return to the states?

Here's a substack I composed on the road last week somewhere between a campsite and a moving car in pretty wobbly internet, while reflecting on cobblestones reflecting (yes that, and a bit more): open.substack.com/pub/ebeshero... #poetry #digitalhumanities #AI #pedagogy #composition

Dining and coding and teaching (did I get that in the wrong order?) at DHSI in Montreal has been lots of fun this week! #dhsi2025 #dhsi25

I’ve studied signs, and know their marks

At DHSI, in Montreal and not Victoria this year! It’s the 24th anniversary and Ray Siemens is honored with a special T-shirt reading “A Ray of Sunshine” for his founding and care of our DHSI institute and community all these years! #dhsi2025

Don’t mess with PBS.

Finally published! Our article on revising sex and gender in the TEI Guidelines, with some literary encoding experimental examples from V. Woolf’s Orlando and cast lists from early modern drama!

These days, besides dismay and distress every morning and night in encountering news and news of my friends and colleagues, I feel visceral irony about even everyday university stuff. I can't help but see what we *used to* know and understand 2 yrs / 5 yrs ago. You feeling it too? Examples...?

I mean, if Trump is seeking to boot people who are “too slow” and not keeping up, it’s not the Fed chief who ought to go first…

This paper’s up on arxiv now so here’s an explainer thread from my perspective (I’m just one contributor and this is my own take, take it with a grain of salt) 🧵

Some days, the word "unconscionable" needs to be applied in multiple sentences. It's a word worth practicing, to hear it resonate. Unconscionable!

Keep in mind training was mandatory!

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

I want to say one more thing about my thread this morning. Plans don't mean you have to have a big nest egg, a escape plan etc. You need to think about how to be in community, to think about mutual aid, to think about your circle and how you can help each other. Now, not later.Things are moving FAST

Revisionist history in a git commit. As Derrida would remind us, we won’t obliterate the trace of the erased in the palimpsest, and nor will they find it easy to revert a git history of thousands of commits. Let’s fork some repos. github.com/CDCgov/prime...
