Was just telling friends about this, at a dinner in the restaurant where Kantina used to be! So delish. Miss you :)

Morning.

Save the date: the 2026 DH@Guelph Summer Workshops will take place May 19th-22nd!

We are looking for folks to run workshops on UX, DataVis, and Videogames, with an emphasis on equity and diversity. Pls see full call here: www.uoguelph.ca/arts/researc...

Applications due December 15th. #DH

Canadian academics, please sign and share. The same forces that have wrecked academic institutions and research culture south of the border are coming for us to (as we knew to expect they would).

as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement,

Calling all #DH #LOD #GLAM folks! Please consider answering & sharing this survey on linked data: tinyurl.com/LOD-Ecosystem

The focus: your experience of linked data, the tools & standards you use, & your ideas about future directions for linked data for the humanities & cultural heritage sector.

#DHMakes is anyone doing anything like this?

Bookish friends, please note that for the Electronic Literature Collection 5:
“We consider eligible literary works as any work that is fundamentally shaped by its digital nature, whether they exist purely on screens, in hybrid formats, in print, or in physical spaces” and the call includes zines!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Am terrified of reading this, but have bookmarked it nonetheless.

malaika handa My name is Malaika Handa and I make lots of crossword puzzles.

my friend @malaika-h.bsky.social is an incredibly talented and prolific crossword constructor—AND she keeps great records of her publications. I made her a very cool website that shows everything she's made malaikahanda.com

11. The history discipline venerates the single authored work too much and often discourages collaboration

Thank you to Hannah, Sarah, and Theresa for a calm and creative #DHWOGEM workshop at #DH2025. Was great to be in a room together, making, thinking, and sharing. #dhmakes

So many first timers at #DH2025 - I'm so excited for you all! Library folk, there's a special interest group (SIG) meeting on Monday. Regional DH associations meet throughout the week

If you get overwhelmed easily, suggesting smaller dinners after receptions can keep things manageable

Screenshot of Amanda Wyatt Visconti (that's me) poster for the Digital Humanities 2025 conference in Portugal happening later this week. The poster has a lot of color going on: a border of zine covers, at least 7 rainbows not counting the rainbow-leopard-print border around the Zine Bakery zine-toaster-rainbow logo, lime green text on bright purple, magenta arrows, etc. The poster's intro text says "Zine Bakery / Author: Dr. Amanda Wyatt Visconti / Project Website: ZineBakery.com / Exploring zines for DH research, methods training, & scholarly communication. You might be picturing zines as their 20th-century origins: collaged, xeroxed, free paper booklets on subcultures, social justice, marginalized experiences; or their earliest precursors, like the "little magazines" of the Harlem Renaissance. But today, creators make "zines" varying widely in format, from 100+ page tiny books to digital-only creative websites. Content varies widely: comics, tutorials, scholarly or personal essays, collage, creative writing, news, & more. However they look, most zines stay true to the form's original vision of radically low barrier authoring, publication, dissemintation, & reading. Zines are a welcoming, inexpensive, and effective format for do-it-yourself scholarly communication, friendly teaching of digital research methods, and public humanities outreach - as well as an opportunity for data analysis and other DH explorations. The Zine Bakery (ZineBakery.com) is a digital humanities project collecting, amplifying, researching, & authoring zines, with an emphasis on free, resharable zines & zines about culture, tech, & justice." The poster goes on to share some stats about the zines in the catalog, list the different parts of the research, and give an overview of how zines are useful for urgent advocacy.

I'm attending #DH2025 virtually*, but I designed my conference poster on my ZineBakery.com research to be as Visually Extra as possible (🎵rainbow leopard print🎶) to give me (& hopefully you?) joy, so please enjoy! (*bc of fascism vs. trans passports, & recently getting sick from people not masking)

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
