Thanks @anasalter.bsky.social for making the full materials for this vital workshop on #DH programming in the Age of #AI public (as you do for so much of your pedagogical work). My biggest frustration with the Carleton trimester schedule is missing all the May conferences — but we can read yours!

A note to Humanities colleagues: @altmetric captures mentions of our work just as well as scientific publications (at least so far as Bluesky goes). Just make sure you link to the original study in your post. "Likes" don't count. Reposts do.

You guys, everybody is here now! It really does feel like pre-pandemic Twitter born again with all the scholarly community networking goodness and none of the bleak, latter-day hellscape vibes. Excited to reconnect with my #medievalsky #digitalhumanities and #digitalmedievalist peeps again

It feels fitting that my first post on this hopefully-not-as-much-a-hellsite-as-the-other-place is to share some conference title data from #ACH2023 that I physicalized through weaving in a #DHmakes workshop at #dh2024
