Brill to catch up with @alexpeden.bsky.social and co at Edinburgh Research Cultures Forum. My point, #ResearchCulture work is not charity. It addresses the serious volume of waste in the system. Wasted talent, resources, time, money, goodwill, trust, and health. Is this what we want for ourselves?

great presentation and discussion, Kay - thanks for coming. I think this core point is one you and the team at Glasgow are making really powerfully.

This is amazing, thank you so much!!

I came across this randomly and it is so lovely! Do you have any tips you could share for trying to do something similar? (I don't knit but my talented sister does! though not freestyle)

Near future academic publishing – a speculative social science fiction experiment Published in Learning, Media and Technology (Vol. 49, No. 4, 2024)

The pictured tweet is overused, and yet. And yet. Sometimes people do things that make me think they are actively trying to recreate the aesthetics of a cyberpunk dystopia.

Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

Fantastic to have Janja Komljenovic @jkom.bsky.social join here - give her a follow for political economy of higher education research. For a taster check out this big multi-authored paper that Janja led on digitalisation of HE www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Speaking of this are any libraries doing audits of their research databases and any research tools they provide access to to keep track of all the GenAI features that are being added and whether they are opt-in or opt-out? Does anyone want to do a study with me? 📚📜

Whether you are a researcher in #dh , a librarian 📚, or a cultural heritage professional #glam , I would strongly recommend this _fantastic_ report out of the U of Edinburgh by @melissaterras.bsky.social and her colleagues on possible futures for digital cultural heritage: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Here it is! the final report from our Infrastructure Futures for Digital Cultural Heritage project. Speculative methods, museum futures, it's all in there! #GLAM #digitalculturalheritage

This Interactive Map Shows Which Indigenous Lands You Live On The nonprofit behind the tool wants people to learn the history of the spaces they inhabit

A plea to my fellow Canadians and Americans: when we make positive arguments for #immigration, do not proclaim this land "empty," "endless" etc. This only adds to settler-colonial erasure of #Indigenous peoples. There are other ways to support immigrants. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/i...

Good heavens

my ismy.blue result: my boundary is at hue 174, greener than 55% of the population. For me, turquoise is blue.

"for you, turquoise is blue". Well YES, isn't it for everyone? I tried ismy.blue on two different screens and apparently I think a lot of things are blue.
