"Many of the former federal employees who spoke to @nbcnews.com said working in public service felt like a calling. Months of unsuccessful job applications have chipped away at their mental health."
Many terminated staff at the National Endowment for the Humanities can confirm. #NEH
Hey friends -
Who's been doing non-traditional humanities dissertations in the past ~5 years?
Tons of fabulous resources from ~2021 and before, but wondering what cool people have been doing lately. References? Links? Exploring new options for our department.

Clippy is on the case.
Cool job alert
I do like kicking the door open button, though.
Me neither.
I am constantly saying that exact phrase...
Asheesh is exactly right. There's not enough funding for the humanities. We can argue the details, but that's the fundamental problem.
Well, there were ORIGINALLY five guys. Now just down to one. Hence his concern.
Yes, indeed, based on what I'm seeing my former agency fund, you may have a shot.
I love logistics. Really. Very excited for this book.
Good point. I mean I took it on the waterfront where Hoboken residents can gaze upon the NYC skyline, the place that is so close, yet so far away in all kinds of ways.
The pro-Thanos crowd.

Project Bamboo lives forever in my mind.
Even lazier than you suggest: The ChatGPT prompt didn't incorporate the EO nor any keywords. See Exhibit 11 here: www.acls.org/acls-aha-mla...
Yeah, super weird! On camera, they are exactly like they were in real life. Like the time Nate told me the NEH would be "so much better" once DOGE was done. I'm pleased that the rest of the world can see what we had to see up close.
100%
That's wonderful!!
Exciting lecture series in Paris from @schmidtsciences.bsky.social HAVI grantee David Smith, @northeasternu.bsky.social.
Come to the first lecture at 4pm this afternoon on "Textual Criticism as Language Modeling" as we lay the groundwork for philology as LM inference. 54 Boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris, Salle 26.
We have a new article with Digital Classicist Online: Towards a smart edition of Apollodorus
Timothée Chalamet will be coming to your house soon with lots of pencils.
Incredible, right? Those guys really know how to write a useful prompt, eh? <eyeroll>. (It would appear that every award that increases access to anything is DEI?)
This spreadsheet is insane. Search for your cancelled NEH grant here! 👇
Yes, they were very anxious to get superuser privileges. They tried different tactics, including trying to corner lower-level staffers and pressing them to give them admin privileges. (This is, needless to say, 100% in conflict with cybersecurity best practices.)
And they couldn't even write a decent prompt.
Interesting question. My amazon account is one of the oldest for sure. I was buying books from them in maybe 1995 or 1996. My gmail is pretty old too. I think I got one soon after it launched, but I can't remember the year.
Sometimes I wonder what my motivation is at this stage in my career. And it's this. Making sure small-minded men die mad about my inclusion. And propping the door open for as many smart and kind people as I can.
