Very excited that my first book chapter was released today!

Now up to 31 participants and meetings for the semester are scheduled!

THEY VOTED TO RESTORE THE IMLS FUNDING. This isn't the end. It's nowhere near the end. But the House and Senate subcommittees voted to restore the IMLS in their budget markups. Full House budget markup is tomorrow.

Victory for today: I am co-covening a DH Community group and we had 1 of 2 interest meetings today. We had 11 people show up and I was expecting 0 to 5. Getting very excited for round 2 tomorrow!

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Digital resources, particularly eBooks and audiobooks, are going to bankrupt libraries if something isn't done to halt the extortionary pricing models of publishers.

What a cool event!

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Good to know and what a terrible form of purgatory

This is such a great panel! Great resources, perspectives, and real talk

Binding Media. Hybrid Print-Digital Literature from across the Americas is officially out today from @stanfordpress.bsky.social! 🎉 If you’re interested in publishing, book history, cultural hybridity, media archaeology, and digital literature, you might like the book! A not so short thread 1/

Et tu, Chronicle of Higher Education? REALLY?

Our first day is tomorrow and the holiday + a long meeeting this morning are making it very hard for me concentrate on top of the general brain fog/trying to avoid media

Text Analysis tools used to be one of my favorite DH things. Now with experiences of programs failing right when I need them and HTRC and Constellate sunsetting, I'm starting to thinking that hard coding is the more sustainable option. However, that doesn't even account for the copyright issues😞

Harvard Law enrolled 19 first-year Black students this fall, the lowest number since the 1960s, following last year's SCOTUS decision banning affirmative action

It worked for me too. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if companies and publishers do any kind of user surveys before they make these AI deals and tools. Probably not, but I wonder if this is just a case of thinking the people want AI when we really don't

Does your day need more unicorns and kittens? Because I've got some handy.

The response to this @quinnanya.me / @elikaortega.bsky.social print was so positive I’m printing one more run in white on blue, inspired by the blue screen of death. If you want to order 1 send a note w/info to [email protected] & we’ll figure out how to collect donations & ship in Nov.

Access to some non-print legal deposit material by September, but still not the UK Web Archive. It’s pretty disastrous for people working on born-digital archives in the UK, and my heart goes out to the web archiving team.

Can't wait to order this for our collection!

Small victories in library land: We had one position change and one hire for social media and content creation in our library and I love canva, but I am so happy to have graphic design support for my events and workshops now! This new graphic for my DH workshops has honestly made my day

Wrong and wasteful on so many levels www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

Saw this in our department group chat today. Taking a much needed but still long 2 week vacation plus one week at DHSI has definitely not helped with the chaos feeling.

I made a career zine for folx interested in library science. I'm still proud of the cover 📚

This day in history. 1661. Oliver Cromwell was hanged and decapitated at Tyburn. He had died two years earlier but you can't be too careful.

Let me make it abundantly clear. Editors can not be replaced by Grammarly or Prowritingaid or hell even Autocrit. Your books will be read by humans and so logically you need A HUMAN to edit or beta read your book. I thought that was common sense, but nah.

uff i am really not happy about the right people with good intentions blowing wind into the "IP theft" criminalisation discourse and more policing of "IP" as if it's real property; this is not helping individual authors and labourers.

The upgraded version of "Mapping Inequality," the award-winning, foremost digital resource on New Deal #redlining, just dropped today: dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/red... Kudos and many thanks to Rob Nelson and @lwinling.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this incredible project!

This is bad. Atlanta is proposing a blanket ban on masks. (Sounds like healthcare workers & religious face coverings might be exempt) There is no evidence mask bans reduce crime. But mask bans do increase disease spread, violate free expression rights, & are misused to stop & frisk people of color.

A reminder that this is concerning because Chat-GPT isn’t a search engine, or even a useful consolidator of information — it’s in fact extremely bad at both. (Don’t trust black boxes, y’all)

Aberdeen plans to remove all degrees and research in modern languages. Utterly disgraceful. Please consider signing this petition www.change.org/p/save-langu...

Rather sadly - my first post on here is to let anyone who will listen know that English/Creative Writing at Oxford Brookes is facing massive redundancies - 40% of staff to be culled by January including my own role. Please share and support, we are trying to save our livelihoods #SaveBrookesEnglish

Four years ago, I wrote a blog post on how to write a DH conference proposal. The ADHO DH conference review guidelines have changed, so here's a new guide for this year.
