Honoring our collaborators @performant.bsky.social, whose rigor and skill helped make Native Bound Unbound possible. They built a platform that connects people, stories, and places across time—a living archive built with care, precision, and imagination. #NativeBoundUnbound #DigitalHumanities

Hands down, the best professional decision I made last year was to work with @performant.bsky.social. Could not love collaborating with @jamiefolsom.bsky.social @anindita.org and their amazing colleagues more. 😍

A project that my company @performant.bsky.social has been working on for multiple years launches tomorrow! Launch events will be live-streamed on Saturday and Sunday at 1 pm MT. It's been such a privilege to work with the Native Bound Unbound team. They describe the project as follows... (1/4) #DH

Check out this amazing project so many of us at Performant Software have been working on for the past couple of years. We can't wait for the launch and for everyone to see it!

Roopika Risam's keynote at the #DH2025 conference. "Many of us came to [DH] because we believed in the liberatory promise of information, in a relationship between access and equality. Or that digital platforms might redistribute power, offer possibilities for new voices and stories to emerge."

Here's a write-up of my keynote from #DH2025, since academic publishing is slow and this was written for right now. roopikarisam.com/talks-cat/dh...

What I like (a lot) about this #DH2025 keynote is that it is both inspiring — a call to arms (or, better, a call to care) — and, at the same time, practical. It values as much what's already there and used as it does what's shiny and new.

You can find yourself in this #DH2025 state-of-the-union. In our small way, we are prioritizing "care over speed, sufficiency over spectacle, community over competition", by sharing knowledge, giving advice & building resilience into tool development (thanks to Partners like @performant.bsky.social)

Great keynote from #DH2025 that resonates - go give it a read: roopikarisam.com/talks-cat/dh...

Thank you, ADHO friends for this wonderful opportunity! #DH2025 Still miss all of you.

And if you aren’t at #DH2025, ping any of us — happy to chat :) We’ve been working on all sorts of open source tools, and I am *personally* quite excited about the mapping tools and the annotation tools because, well, #PlaceNerd and #LitNerd. I map and mark things up for fun 😅

Just be FAIR and CARE, people! #DH2025

🎉Hello, DH community! The official DH2026 account is now live! 🇰🇷 Daejeon, South Korea | July 27-31, 2026 🎯Theme: Engagement | Hosted by @kadhsocial.bsky.social Can't wait to see you after @dh2025lisbon.bsky.social Following @dh2024.bsky.social let's build our community! #DH2026 @adho-org.bsky.social

Working with Performant over the last year has been dreamy! I had wanted to collaborate with them for a while, and it’s been as awesome as I hoped. (And this link has a tiny sneak preview, aka screenshots, of what we’ve been up to.)

Pelagios is proud to count Performant & Rainer as Partners. Together, we are trying to build methods/tools for annotating & structuring data "in the round", where different Partners contribute knowledge, resource and/or funding, towards distributive resilience. Join our community of practice #dh2025

Possibly of interest for folks at #DH2025. Dan is using Rainer's magic liiive.now. Give it a whirl.

We’re pleased to announce Performant Studio, an open source, standards-based software toolkit for #digitalhumanities projects. Ask @nicklaiacona.bsky.social about it if you see him at #dh2025! www.performantsoftware.com/studio/

Hi #DH2025, I miss you all. Thanks to everyone skeeting for those of us who have to follow along from afar because life.

ATRIUM is present at #DH2025 in Lisbon this week, especially at the presentation "Engaging Diverse Communities: The ATRIUM Project's Participatory Research Initiatives" 🤗 🏺

Chose “Digital Mapping & Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage & Dialect Studies” for my first #DH2025 session. bit.ly/40R5T7U / maps are such a key entry point for many DH projects and these were all excellent examples / great to see @iiif.bsky.social used in various projects

Let the #DH2025 conference officially begin 🎉 #Lisboa #DigitalHumanities #Lisbon #OpenScience

Charles Pletcher (Tufts) on democratizing annotations, allowing credit to be given to users who submit annotations and commentary to texts. The problem is with architecture that is designed for read-only access for annotated texts in TEI #BostonDH25

Really appreciate the questions about default (and unchangeable?) map orientations, political boundaries, and colonial assumptions in maps at #BostonDH25

Questions of #minicomp, per @roopikarisam.bsky.social , particularly relevant rn, of course #bostondh25
