The moment when you were asked to give two different talks in late January/early February, and then, in the same week (in late March) that you are furiously writing your annual review, both organizers ask for your abstracts and titles without any communcation in the intervening months
We were very excited to have you visit, but are glad that you are avoiding the insanity and chaos. This system is so broken
We have those here too

I seriously hate this timeline. Here's an example of how this plays out in reserch www.gustavobatista.com/hallucination/
Nice to know I'm not the only librarian who plays this game

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.
So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

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.
Spring is killer
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/
Thanks for this suggestion!
Et tu, Chronicle of Higher Education?
REALLY?
The dh+lib Review is re-launching after our technology-prompted hiatus.
We invite you to join us as a volunteer Editor-at-Large (EAL). Our EALs are essential to our production process. If you're already an EAL, you can sign up for shifts in the dh+lib slack. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
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
Possibly. It's an ACRL edition and we've done our final chapter submissions but might get some copy edits from the ACRL editors.
I thought the same thing when I saw the Constellate announcement. Also, my co-writer and I were sad to see the HTRC announcement because publshing takes forever and we have a TDM book chapter all about HTRC coming out next year
It was silly but fun! Lacey Chabert never disappoints with Christmas movies
