I owe much of my career so far to NEH grants. For me, it was the ladder up to my first job out of college, and then into grad school. I would not be in academia, more particularly DH, if assistantships on grants hadn't paid better than my fast food job at the time.

I am afraid this spells the beginning of economic devastation for Pittsburgh. UPMC, very much part of U of Pitt, is the backbone of the research and tech renaissance, the largest employer in the area, a $2.5b (tax-exempt) land owner, and a major health insurer.
The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.
The University of Pittsburgh pauses its Ph.D. admissions process amid research funding uncertainty
A spokesperson for the University told WESA Friday that the school has "temporarily paused additional Ph.D. offers of admission," while Pitt works to understand how proposed federal funding cuts could...

Should I take this season's crop pestilence (found grain weevils while trying to make rice tonight) as a sign of judgement or is god telling me it's okay to spend $100 at the container store?

I once met an OpenAI employee who agreed with me that expert annotations are worth more than they offer. His solution: OpenAI should offer equity in exchange for your intellectual property. He looked genuinely aghast when I suggested OpenAI was wildly overvalued.

Had a dream in which I received handwritten feedback from a colleague but in a very helpful git-like diff view...but all the comments were about how I should replace the words I was using with the word "tomorrowify"

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life.

We Only Have Ourselves: The How-Tos and DOs and DON’Ts of Mutual Aid
For all of humanity’s many, many flaws, one of our most redeeming characteristics as a species is an almost-universal desire to connect with one another. When terrible things happen and communities…

Family holiday bonding for yinzers: watch a movie filmed in Pittsburgh, point at every landmark and name it. Especially good if there are car chases which splice together anachronistic locations. Tonight it's Jack Reacher, but Striking Distance is my fav.

I love when research takes me to someone's Web 1.0 site: still fully functional, every publication in PDF form, no broken links. Browser prevents you from using the search feature (the browser is a coward).

No idea if I was added to a new starter pack or if yinz are from #DHmakes territory but glad to meet you!
I'm a second year PhD student in English and a member of @stanfordlitlab.bsky.social. I'm dipping my toes in print practice this fall, here's a risograph print WIP:

Stanford proposes 2-3% raises for grad workers.
They raised rent by 4.5% this year. Over 70% of us live on campus, on their untaxed land (part of their $36+ billion endowment).

Just got an email from a professor, not with the syllabus or first-day requirements, but with recommendations for fun day trips nearby.
It was delightful and welcoming (and I'm not even new here) and I'm filing it away as a way to bring hospitality into my teaching practice.

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

My first ADHO presentation got a bit of a gasp when I mentioned we'd sawed some book spines in the name of corpus construction! #DH2024
@gabi3.bsky.social: Approaches to getting books scanned. Nichole Nomura used a band saw as part of destructive scanning; it's more effective than scissors. The LitLab team ultimately worked with a vendor to do this scanning. #DH2024
