The ’70s Performance Artist Who Became a Hero to ‘Garbage Men’

FINALLY, the person—Mierle Laderman Ukeles—whose work has been instrumental to my (and others') thinking about maintenance in the context of infrastructure and technology is the subject of a new documentary! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/n...

A final shoutout to @wepm.bsky.social for making our #ACH2025 virtual world a space of community, solidarity, & play. The final dance party was EVERYTHING, especially after such a heavy day. Thanks @apjanco.bsky.social for being our fantastic DJ 👏. That's a wrap! @ach.bsky.social

Wow, I know @brettbobley.bsky.social is quite the chef extraordinaire, but I had no idea that he makes his own kimchi! Also, @jenserventi.bsky.social - you may break open a sealed bag of kimchi to eat near me anytime (and be sure to bring enough to share)!

*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

To @brettbobley.bsky.social‬ - Massive thanks to you for everything you have done to foster an innovative, thoughtful, and vibrant DH community! NEH's ODH was where I cut my teeth as a peer reviewer for grant proposals & I'll ever be grateful for those experiences. #ThanksBrett

This week was bookended by deadlines - one for an essay draft due on Monday & the other for a keynote presentation today. Glad to be surrendering to the weekend!

Congratulations, Pam - so well-deserved!

On a day like today, a saving grace and comfort: a playlist I'd completely forgotten about is momentarily blunting the despair. Music IS joy.

@mellonfoundation.bsky.social, via the Public Knowledge program, is launching another round of open calls for proposals from community-based archives, this time for general operating support funding. Read the solicitation here: www.mellon.org/article/call...

Happy Holidays from Queens, my friend!
