Thank you, @roopikarisam.bsky.social, for your closing words for #DH2025: 'the future of DH requires access grounded in accountability; repair sustained by care; scholarship driven by solidarity'

And also, 'hope and strategy are very important things to hold onto right now'

Slide says Generating Gender: "Selfies" generated with Midjourney by Schnelle Bunte Bilder, and shows a picture of a woman looking at the camera in distress with people in the background also in distress, between train cars.

@janakeck.bsky.social discusses representation of immigrants in the 1880's that were generated with Midjourney AI and featured in the American Dreams exhibition. Images referred to as "selfies" but no indication that is actually happening. All look straight at camera, like models. #MSUGlobalDH

Five things to know if your federal grant is terminated If you want to appeal the decision, know the rules that govern terminations, as well as the specific rationale given in your notice, science policy experts say.

If someone lost a grant, here's advice for how to appeal that decision. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/five... From @thetransmitter.bsky.social <6/n>

An email is on its way out to our members regarding strategies for navigating cuts to federal grant funding. However, we wanted to share that information here as well. We have aggregated information for actions regarding NEH grants, which include broader strategies as well.

A few tips for NEH grantees:
1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP.

2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

U.S. National Park Visit Data (1979-2024) – Responsible Datasets in Context

The National Park Service was told not to publicize its record-breaking visit data this year.

Why? Probably because the Trump administration is trying to gut it.

You can find this new context on our Responsible Datasets in Context site: www.responsible-datasets-in-context.com/posts/np-data/

As we all know, NEH funding was already almost inexpressibly meager. It bears repeating that they’ve targeted NEH and IMLS exactly because they’ve been *incredibly* efficient at spurring new thought, writing, and community-building.

Love to get an email from my professional org @ach.bsky.social within hours of it surfacing that DOGE had come for NEH, with specific steps people can take, a form to collect info on research impacts, and a commitment to further advocacy. Keep it up, ACH.

MLA, AHA & friends should take note.
