Discussion of the role of REF in the UK and that the lack of information about what a #OAmandate for #longform would look like in the REF context makes it harder for libraries to prepare - such a mandate needs adequate funding & a strategy that supports #diamondOA not just #BPCs
#RLUK26

Should there be a shift in #fundermandates to better fund #DiamondOA for #longform to avoid all the cash going towards #BPCs ?
Still unclear on how publishers arrive at #BPCs - it is a #charge not a #cost and so rarely transparent #RLUK26

Rosie Higman speaks about LSE's #OAfund and how authors can apply to it - there's broad acknowledgement over the high cost of #BPCs and that #GoldOA for #longform is #inequitable - should HEIs be more transparent about any caps they place on paying for BPCs? #RLUK26

Securing sustainable funding is a challenge - individually libraries and HEIs have #OAfunds that can be used to support #DiamondOA for #longform scholarship, but there is little coordination as to where the funds are directed #RLUK26

Geoffrey Khan now presents a view of how #openaccess for #longform supports #bibliodiversity & the preservation of endangered heritage by enabling the publication & reading of works by authors from the Global Majority including those who lack the means to pay for #GoldOA #RLUK26

He also states that #OA for #longform is too expensive and inequitable if it follows a #paytopublish format like BPCs #GoldOA and that the Infrastructure is too expensive - might be ignoring #DiamondOA and collective-funding models a bit there! #RLUK26

Dave Jago launches a provocation that only #librarians want #openaccess for #longform - it doesn't serve authors
Do authors really want to reach as many readers as possible? Or do they just want to reach the 'right' audiences & need the heft of established publishers (eg via marketing)?
#RLUK26

Luckily the sessions are being recorded for catch-up later 👍
I've joined the #openaccess for #longform scholarship session with Dave Jago, Geoffrey Khan, & Rosie Higman - there's been a mention of @copim.bsky.social already! 👏
#RLUK26 #OAbooks #OAmonographs

I enjoyed the morning sessions of #RLUK26
Now I have a dilemma over which session to join:
"Who owns #datastewardship?"
"Navigating #AI and #copyright legislative change"
"Is there an #openaccess future for #longform scholarship?"
All pertinent issues for #academiclibraries #researchlibraries

Alle guten Dinge sind drei? Well, anyhow, a third finding from Bex Burch' line-up of their later show in Berlin today. Training Band: GruppenTRAINING - a suitable title i guess, cause that's what they did. Johannes Schleiermacher (sax, flute, synth) + Max Andrzejewski (drums, synths, electronics […]

The Shooting of Two Cornell Freshmen, 42 Years Later. In 1983 six students were taken hostage in a Cornell dormitory. Two of them were killed. How have the survivors reckoned with what happened to them, and what made us forget about this act of violence?

Powerful mix of #storytelling and subject. This is a heartbreaking read with some truly harrowing details, but a stark reminder of why #longform journalism is so important. Really impressed to see a magazine by undergrads at Cornell devoted to this genre.

Sunday mornings are my favorite time for reading and writing. This morning, I spent a few hours organizing a large volume of notes I've accumulated over the years so that I may finally publish them. I'm not ready to publish anything today, so instead I'll share this quote. #longform #philosophy

Have two free tracks inspired by Éliane Radigue who died this past week aged 94.
I made these in a night and day and aren't perfectly polished but they shine with a beauty all the same.
Download from my dropbox. I'll delete them soon.

Creating Gray: The Newspeak Era A government bent on rewriting reality met a truth it couldn’t erase: video captured by ordinary citizens on their phones.

Language doesn’t just describe reality.
It constructs it.

In Creating Gray: The Newspeak Era, I examine how modern political rhetoric blurs clear lines into ambiguity.

Man, I miss meandering experimental #longform journalism like this. North Dallas dad walks across the city in a day + meets the city folk is incredibly touching. @texasmonthly.bsky.social

A Women’s Hockey Game and the Fight Over Social Progress A night at the hockey arena becomes a meditation on progress, backlash, and hope.

A women’s hockey game turned into a proxy fight over social progress and backlash politics.

I wrote an essay on what this moment says about culture wars and public institutions.
