A morning spent with the four Shakespeare folios? Don’t mind if I do! Thank you to the Buffalo Erie County Public Library for hosting me!

This is more broadly generalizable: If you don't do the research yourself, you have no idea if AI is making stuff up. And if you do the research yourself, then AI isn't saving you much labor, if any.

Hey, #Shax26, I can't wait to see you tomorrow for our Shakespeare Futures Panel on Contingency. I promise there will be more than teeth gnashing and doom and gloom. Let's make some community together and discuss.

I first learned CPR in 2002. Best practices have changed since but the advice has not: get training. The more folks with the skill, the higher the likelihood that anyone survives a cardiac event. Year 24 today, back in for my recert. Have never had to perform CPR in the wild, hope I never will.

That said: definitely consider a session or two with a trainer to learn good form (to protect your body!) and gym etiquette (to protect your community). If you’re local to me: I’ll take you and show you the basics. I’m not a coach, but I do know my way around and can help you get started.

With new years approaching: the real ones will NEVER shame you for coming to the gym. Even if you don’t know how to do the things. Even if you’re not in the best shape you’ve ever been. We are happy to see you moving your body and chasing your goals.

One thing that I’ve become increasingly certain of over the course of this year: As an academic, I do not have (and never will have) a responsibility to teach students to use Gen AI ‘ethically’ (as if that were possible). The idea that academics should be doing this is a blight on the sector.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The first review of Theatres of Value is out! "Rosvally brings these men and women back to life, writing about them in ways that make the reader feel as if Rosvally is writing about her friends." So many thanks to @jesshamlet.bsky.social and @shaxbull.bsky.social muse.jhu.edu/article/974954

And just like that Yassified Shakespeare is off to the press! For the record: I do not recommend submitting a book ms, finalizing page proofs for an edited collection, making final revisions to a post-peer-review essay, co-moderating a conference group, & completing a major meet in the same month.

Today’s update from the front: a footnote that is actually in Yassified Shakespeare (book MS gets turned in Monday!)

Dr. Danielle Rosvally @drosvally.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

In doing final MS prep for Yassified Shakespeare, we've been leaning heavily on the assistance of my extraordinary RA. Today, he gave us one of the highest compliments we could receive:

Screenshot of a comment from MS word by Lóri Fejes that says "the number of times I mumble under my breath (with utmost respect) "I cannot with these two""

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Are you PUMPED to see how this footnote made its way into academic discourse!? Get ready!

What a glorious day for us all to learn, simultaneously, just how many of our educational servers rely on Amazon to function correctly. There's a metaphor for higher-level thinking crumbling at the foundation because of capitalism here, but frankly I'm just grateful I can get my grading done now.

I LOVE Taylor and the new album has been on repeat for me but… Tay: please call me to dramaturge the next time you want to write a song with a Shakespeare reference so we can get the facts right. It tweaks me every time you say Ophelia was “the eldest daughter.”

In other news: COVER REVEAL! The next book is on its way! I was so lucky to be able to edit this collection with the incomparable Valerie Clayman Pye. This was the only image I wanted for the cover, and we were ECSTATIC to be able to use it.

Tenure dossier preparation is upon me. Accordingly: if you've taught any of my articles/books/chapters/podcasts/blogs, used any material I've created in classwork, or have spotted a review of any of it, could you please reach out and let me know? Thank you.

I converted a commercially bound paperback, so I didn’t technically bind it myself but I did everything short of the actual binding.

Dr. Danielle Rosvally @drosvally.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

It is totally normal to spend a weekend converting your book into an epic bespoke leather-bound tome of awesomeness, right? @sunypress.bsky.social made me an amazing cover, but this one is also pretty cool.

Me: I'm just trying to write a lesson plan for my directing class, guys. The internet: TAYLOR AND TRAVIS GOT ENGAGED OMG ENGAGEMENT PICS! Me: later, please bring me pics of the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen's beard first. It's more important right now.

Does new course syllabus prep engender crippling imposter syndrome in everyone or is it just me?

020

Dr. Danielle Rosvally @drosvally.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Syllabus prep: Directing. Never have I put a book down so quickly and omitted it from consideration as the Directing textbook I just dropped like a bad habit when it had a full page describing how to stage character deaths by firearm and blade without a single reference to using a fight director.

Tfw: the Globe knows you’re coming and puts out the sign specifically for you.

A woman in a blue skirt, white tee shirt, and black jacket is standing in the gift shop at Shakespeare’s globe. She is holding a large sword and standing next to a sign that says “no sword-fighting in the shop.”

My social media usage has slowed WAY down lately and part of it is because of the way the world is RN and part of it is because I just feel deflated after growing an audience on multiple platforms and having them unceremoniously ripped away so... there must be a word for this ennui?
