Fobazi was such an inspiration for the field. I remember reading her article on vocational awe years ago and thinking, "OMG, she nailed it." A bright light has gone out. Deepest condolences to her family.
@nowviskie.bsky.social is a genius at language and administration, IMO.
Slide from a presentation, with a pastel purple sky and clouds background. The slide text says "Brighter social media skies: Bluesky for library-worker online community. Today’s talk: * Knowledge-work, community, justice * Social media, strategically * What is Bluesky, anyway? * Basics: join > bio > read > interact * Safety, justice, wellness All links mentioned in talk: TinyURL.com/intro-bluesky "
Video: my May "Brighter Social Media Skies: Bluesky For Library-Worker Online Community" talk for METRO NY Libraries (also 👍 for academics). Focus: if use; how to tilt Bluesky toward some good+less bad for you; kept button-pushing to my tinyurl.com/DHbluesky guide 📚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=98_a... +
We are now accepting submissions for Mapping Indigenous Literatures, a special issue of PMLA. The issue seeks to center Indigenous authors and communities, asking how Indigenous humanities criticism has influenced the broader field of Indigenous studies. www.mla.org/Publications...
Looking forward to attending SAA in person since, I think, 2022, when it was in Boston? Great program this year: whova.com/embedded/eve...
What’s common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
The vast majority of archival documents are neither digitized nor searchable online. 🗃️
FINALLY, the person—Mierle Laderman Ukeles—whose work has been instrumental to my (and others') thinking about maintenance in the context of infrastructure and technology is the subject of a new documentary! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/n...
A final shoutout to @wepm.bsky.social for making our #ACH2025 virtual world a space of community, solidarity, & play. The final dance party was EVERYTHING, especially after such a heavy day. Thanks @apjanco.bsky.social for being our fantastic DJ 👏. That's a wrap! @ach.bsky.social
Wow, I know @brettbobley.bsky.social is quite the chef extraordinaire, but I had no idea that he makes his own kimchi! Also, @jenserventi.bsky.social - you may break open a sealed bag of kimchi to eat near me anytime (and be sure to bring enough to share)!
*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.
To @brettbobley.bsky.social - Massive thanks to you for everything you have done to foster an innovative, thoughtful, and vibrant DH community! NEH's ODH was where I cut my teeth as a peer reviewer for grant proposals & I'll ever be grateful for those experiences. #ThanksBrett

This week was bookended by deadlines - one for an essay draft due on Monday & the other for a keynote presentation today. Glad to be surrendering to the weekend!
Congratulations, Pam - so well-deserved!

On a day like today, a saving grace and comfort: a playlist I'd completely forgotten about is momentarily blunting the despair. Music IS joy.
Oxford University Press will be awarding as many as 10 ECRs the opportunity to publish their first book in fully open access as well as in hardback. Today the website was revised to make clear that independent/unaffiliated scholars are eligible. Deadline March 3. academic.oup.com/pages/early-...
One of the best things about it is the focus on spoken-word recordings, such as of poetry. Because we all need more poetry love. Always.
And of course, there is still time to apply for the 2025 cohort: borderlands.digitalscholarship.library.arizona.edu/faculty-fell...
Here's a fun little video of something I'm involved in around providing digital/data literacies to the US-Mexico borderlands (spot me in the background looking engaged a bunch!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=3olJ...
@mellonfoundation.bsky.social, via the Public Knowledge program, is launching another round of open calls for proposals from community-based archives, this time for general operating support funding. Read the solicitation here: www.mellon.org/article/call...
“am not arguing that the humanities should adopt scientific norms, but that they should have the financial means to complement, contest, or rival science in explaining people, societies, and cultures. To do this properly today, they need a step-function increase in funding.”
Grateful for the work that Archiving the Black Web is doing!

Warmest thanks to @roopikarisam.bsky.social, @jenguiliano.bsky.social, each of the reviewers, and (particularly) Stacy Reardon for all their work on this issue. Astrid and myself had very little heavy lifting to do; #ReviewsInDH is an incredibly well-oiled machine! 👏👏 #DigitalHumanities
. @jenguiliano.bsky.social & I are pleased to wrap up our FIFTH year publishing #ReviewsInDH with a special issue, “Games and DH,” edited by James O’Sullivan @jamesosullivan.bsky.social and Astrid Ensslin. It’s a great look at intersections of DH and Game Studies! reviewsindh.pubpub.org/v5-n12
