When I read here of the “old good days“ of academia & humanities I am not sure when were these days exactly, when women weren’t allowed to study, or when working class people couldn’t afford tuitions, or maybe when only church could provide education? 🤔 #academicsky #academicchatter Give me a date.

hmmm… but what’s the difference between blank doc and blank tex? 😳 For me personally it‘s always pen&paper 1st and then typing, regardless of format but usually plain txt 1st. What amazes me personally is the ability (which I don’t have) of brainstorming in the digital w/ virtual blackboards etc. 🤯

congratulations on the funding 🥳

The "Wise King" Alfonso X oversaw an explosion of cultural production in 13th-century Iberia. Happy to be part of PPROTEX @unibirmingham.bsky.social taking a cross-disciplinary look at his scriptorium’s output.

Jak będziesz w Paryżu to daj znać bo w naszym laboratorium się tym ludzie zajmują i czasem nawet coś ciekawego mówią. W maju będziemy mieli seminarium po angielsku i zapewne ktoś się na tem temat wypowie. :) my dziś zakończyłyśmy szkołę zimową z humanistyki cyfrowej tym oto screenshotem 😇

They’re trying to get us to be enthousiastic about AI - BUT WE DONT EVEN HAVE WORKING PRINTERS YET. I WANT A PRINTER THAT PRINTS WHEN I HIT THE PRINT BUTTON, I don’t want AI to predict when I will need new shoelaces, based on my search history for medieval paintings. ALL I WANT A WORKING PRINTER.

Tu mnie masz, panie kolego „trejnz”? Nieponiemauju

maybe if humanity outsources all functional, formal, boring writing to LLMs then we get to finally embrace total grammatical anarchy as signs of humans, redo the language in leetspeak and slangs not yet imagined -- watch me produce next token with so much perplexity that oceans evaporate

Yey for academic not-for-profit #openaccess publishing 📯🥳

The model is also very much appreciated by the authors, at least yours truly. 🌸

This is certainly what @hlaehnemann.bsky.social and I have been doing with Taylor Editions! @tayoxford.bsky.social The model is appreciated by reviewers, e.g. muse.jhu.edu/article/965571

Delighted to have a long paper accepted with Paola Peratello (not on BS) for the #DH2026 conference discussing small datasets & #digitalhumanities with a case study of
Medieval Swedish courtly literature and unseen species modelling.

Rewelacja! Świetne wieści! Czy jest w takim razie szansa że wykład będzie po polsku tak w ramach tej polityki wielojęzykowej humanistyki cyfrowej?
