#ThanksBrett for your central role in building up the most exciting and generous academic field of the last 25 years! The office of digital humanities was been a tremendously positive force. @brettbobley.bsky.social
*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

It never ceases to amaze me what a useful research tool @copticscript.bsky.social is.

I suspected that #Coptic can't reiterate certain grammar categories, and I was able to quickly search for an example word appearing within <3 words from itself.

No directly adjacent tokens!
