There are many research hosting services out there. Lots of them want to host your work in order to mine it for profit. Knowledge Commons wants to build a coalition of researchers, teachers, students, and more, in order to resist the authoritarian effort to undermine public access to knowledge.

@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
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.

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,

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.
