@samplereality.bsky.social knows whats up! Very exciting time for us in the library. HMU if you have any questions at all!

I *did* … ages ago, though. But just last year I had one of the folks on my team do it. And, yeah, until I fill these positions, my enthusiasm shouldn’t write checks my bandwidth can’t cash. But hmu next semester🤞🏼and I’ll have some new folks to bring into the fold.

Lol THANK YOU! I was thinking yesterday “how do I get in on that DH+Lib goodness?” (tl;dr I was going to reach to you to ask for guidance! So thanks for heading me off.)

Thanks so much! We’re excited about the positions.

Not sure how news travels here, so I'm just going to @ y'all 😬: @walshbr.bsky.social @plach.bsky.social @pfyfe.bsky.social @samplereality.bsky.social @briancroxall.bsky.social @brandontlocke.bsky.social @ryancordell.bsky.social @dgrigar.bsky.social @epyllia.bsky.social @amandalicastro.bsky.social

Folks! ISO two new colleagues to join our Digital Learning team in the Library at Davidson College: DH Librarian and a Media Creation and Curation Librarian. More here employment.davidson.edu/en-us/job/49... and employment.davidson.edu/en-us/job/49... Happy to talk about either or both!

Happy to share that the CFP for next year's DH Fellows Program in the Scholars' Lab is now live. If you're local please share with students, communities, colleagues you work with. Gives a year of support to an advanced UVA graduate student to work with us on a digital research project.

URGENT: Oppose an Amendment to Eliminate Funding for the NEH I just took action to oppose the elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities! Join me and take action here.

The House is gearing up with a new bill to completely eradicate the NEH budget for FY 2024. Dang it! The National Humanities Alliance has created a form to make it easy to email your congressional rep to stop this bill before it comes to the floor: p2a.co/yqrC42g

Such a great series. @plach.bsky.social ! So grateful for the content as well as your masterful modeling of podcast pedagogy. I’ll be keeping my 👀 peeled for registration for next summer’s institute with the Nat’l Humanities Center. nationalhumanitiescenter.org/education-pr...

Mini-thread! It’s publication day for Tudor Networks of Power, which I co-wrote with Sebastian Ahnert. We are really proud of this book, which brings methods from network science to the study of 130k early modern letters But it’s not just a book! global.oup.com/academic/pro... 1/8

I haven’t dipped into EM plays in a minute, but probably Summer’s Last Will and Testament because it’s just Will running roughshod over the play as such.

@walshbr.bsky.social it was 🔥!!
Srsly though: incredibly helpful. Looking forward to the lot, @plach.bsky.social!

Okay #DavidsonCollege folks, spoilers for the hands-on prompt engineering workshop with @jqsponsel.bsky.social on 24 OCT: we’ll spend the first half just re-rolling prompts from @samplereality.bsky.social’s web app. 😉 (Or maybe we’ll just spend the time making one for ChatGPT 🤖💻)

Letterpress print that says iliads! Davidson college 2023 with block print of arion (?) playing a violin and riding an angry dolphin, I guess.

Nice! I hadn’t heard of a rainbow roll before Andrew Rippeon was generous enough to make us a sweet print for #ILiADS23 this year.
