Before Sunday ends, here’s today’s thread once more. Please share widely if you see this and are able, to get all this great work out to all of the folks. 🗃️ @hcrichardson.bsky.social

A woman is sitting at a table in a library. She is wearing dark glasses and is looking up and smiling while doing something with her hands on the table which is plugged in. Beneath the table there is a tan guide dog, wearing their harness, chilling.

It's National Library Week. Make sure that if you're sharing National Library Week images you include alt text because the library is for EVERYONE.

If people don't know what your image is, especially if it contains text, your post is not for everyone. Guidance:

Picture books are one of the hardest formats to write well and one of the easiest to underestimate. Thirty-two pages. No wasted word. Every line has to carry weight.

Me too. It’s the swirly ceiling situation...

Throwing this out there now, but I’m looking for guest(s) for a summer special episode on American Studies and the past/present/future of drum and bugle corps. I think it is a great lens for a lot of important topics, and it’s also very important to me personally. #dci @americanstudier.bsky.social

Join us this week as we share the importance of experts in the humanities & social sciences. Why do we need more historians, anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists, religious studies scholars, literary scholars?

Share your answer with #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutSocialSciences

We need historians because the past is never just the past.

Every policy debate, public conversation, and cultural shift is shaped by what came before. Historians help us understand context, trace change over time, and recognize what’s at stake.
