Spent 3 very productive days at Howard University learning Tableau Public. I see some data viz about magazines and medieval collections in my future... #bookhistory

You don't use gloves to handle manuscripts...

The deletion of websites and other government data is a dangerous attack on knowledge, harming democracy. My colleague @nannathylstrup.bsky.social & I contribute a guest essay in @nytimes.com today: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/o...

I just now found out that we lost NEH funding for the Spanish Homosaurus project: es.homosaurus.org/v4 We plan to continue work on this project, it will just have to proceed in a very different way. Heartbreaking, to me, is we had a professional paid linguist working on this project - not anymore.

It's been a wild week at UVA, that's for sure...

How my morning in the office is going...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

With some really exciting news: Will be moving into a new position in special collections in May! I'm excited to transition into libraries soon.

The Library of Congress has launched a new self-paced professional development module designed to provide educators with an overview of how copyright relates to their use of primary sources. 📜 blogs.loc.gov/teachers/202...

Being asked to form part of a steering committee to offer high-impact anti-racist and justice-based workshops to scholars has been the highlight of my week. Sharing bread, space, ideas, and support with other amazing scholars reminds me of the reasons why DEIA is crucial in academic spaces.

I manage the Explore portal for the Chicago Collections Consortium which brings together collections from 70+ Chicagoland institutions to tell a more holistic story of the city’s history. We target researchers and general public. If it seems applicable would love to collab chicagocollections.org

Digital History Klaxon: Looking for collaborators to submit a session to @historians.org on digital history projects for broad audiences. My team is looking to present on Searchablemuseum.com and are looking for other projects, theme/region/period agnostic!

Today was "little niece chooses my next #crochet project" day! She wanted me to crochet a flower, and so I did. #crafts

Ooooh! I'd love to see this lovely book in the flesh

I teach Political Communication to college students and I can confirm all of this. The "news" is just more content to them. They have no idea what the news is or does or why it's important or why we should attend to it more than any other content. There is no "mainstream media."

Anyone going to #POCC? If you are, come say hi! I'll also be presenting on Thurs afternoon about why you gotta stop jamming AI/genAI into schools. #NAIS

Geez, so many historians adding me here in the last week! I'm curious, especially because I haven't been in X for a hot minute, how did people find me online. (not a complaint--genuinely curious!)

My local reclaimed arts supply store is a God sent in these *special* times. So far, picked up crochet as a hobby and today I bought a peg loom. Between the arts supply store and the state of the world, I'm gonna be drowning in fiber arts soon.

Hi Pennsylvania friends. I'm a minister. If you or anyone in the LGBTQIA+ wanna get married before January. I will do it for free. No charge.

Oh hi we're on BBC News: www.yahoo.com/news/puerto-...

Also, a reminder that Puerto Ricans have held three referendums on statehood since 2012 and Congress has refused to ratify neither referendums or results.

Or better, independence.

Being asked about Malcolm and Macbeth by people in Scotland is incredibly fulfilling but equally scary. It's been ages since the dissertation and I'm not even active as a researcher...

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

🔔 Please share widely! A call for contributions for an edited collection _Reading the Queer Eighteenth Century_ which will be published by De Gruyter in early 2026. Submit a proposal or pass on to interested scholars! #Skystorians #18C #Queer #Disability #Ecocriticism #trans #transnational
