Lost a beloved mentor unexpectedly over the weekend. Such a shock, but at least I know that she knew how important she was to me. Take a minute to tell those people how much they've influenced your life while you have the chance.

Folks who are also on historians.social on Mastodon - the instance is shutting down at the end of October, so you'll want to migrate or whatever the appropriate verb is. 💙📚 🗃 #earlymodern

Hard agree. (Big fan of old fashioned core curriculum here; give everyone two full years of liberal education. Tough shit if you dont like history or philosophy or polisci.)

Be sure to check out this upcoming immigration history manuscript workshop from our colleagues with the @ihrc-umn.bsky.social :

“Due to the threat posed by Russian drones operating over Ukraine near the Polish border, Polish and allied air forces have begun preventive operations in our airspace. Ground-based air defense systems have reached the highest level of alert.”

Catholic bishops call immigration crackdown a 'category 4 storm' WASHINGTON (RNS) — Before the Georgetown roundtable, El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz told RNS he is questioning whether Catholics can, in good conscience, join ICE.

A significant thing here: El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz, chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ committee on migration, tells @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social he is questioning whether Catholics can, in good conscience, join ICE. religionnews.com/2025/09/12/c...

I miss a world where we wrote and engaged with each other about DH in small bites. @dhnow.bsky.social helped create that community and I'm glad it's back.

This is a global crisis problem as far as I’m concerned. People who say they have historically cared about national autonomy must step up. In years past this would not be a question for the US, regardless of party affiliation.

Release! Classic 3.2 is out. Looks pretty much the same but includes approximately a metric ton of accessibility improvements.

Know who knows how to manage budgets? All those research faculty in labs that they would never give tenure line jobs. Those are the folks who know how to get things done on a shoestring.

Crazy. All of it.

Sitting on my to-read pile and I think I can’t let it go any longer.

Considering taking an Omeka Intensive? Sign up for this webinar next Wednesday to learn more.

Make a little time each week for stuff that opens your world: read a novel on the side; go to a music or theatre performance. Think about the arts and how they help us be human.

It' that time again! Registration is now open for our Fall intensive trainings. Sign up to reserve your spot in our Classic or S course today:

Registration is now open for “Second Foundings: Universities, Slavery, and Struggles for Justice in Texas and Beyond.” The conference will take place October 10-13, 2025, in Houston and features keynote lectures by Ruth J. Simmons and Crystal R. Sanders! More info …

I took some time to write about the ways that the @omeka.org platforms can help support the creation of FAIR data. Perhaps it will help you think about how you're shaping your collections data. omeka.org/news/2025/08...
#FAIRdata

A little research exercise: go find out what the Nazis did to museums they took over, for example in Strasbourg. Once you’ve recovered, report back.

We can all scream together. 🙀

And then start gathering what we can. Get your @waybackmachine.bsky.social finger moving.

Useful. And, also be on the look out for Sourcery in a city near you soon. sourceryapp.org

How do we reach an audience when the audience has scattered?

Having sat with it for a bit, I'm still struggling with this document.

The document is at once very cautious, and effusive. The text of the guidance itself is pretty good--in fact, I think they point out a lot of ways in which generative AI is a terrible thing for doing history.

Authoritarians are attacking universities. Here's how it's going at one public school. I'm publicly documenting an event timeline to help bring order to the chaotic nature of events and help other schools plan the responses they are likely going to need.

I made an event timeline to try to make sense of all the federal overreach at @georgemasonu.bsky.social and whoo boy. When you lay it out like this, the executive over reach comes into focus. open.substack.com/pub/misofact...
