Hands down, the best professional decision I made last year was to work with @performant.bsky.social. Could not love collaborating with @jamiefolsom.bsky.social @anindita.org and their amazing colleagues more. 😍

They built a platform that connects people, stories, and places across time—a living archive built with care, precision, and imagination.

Working with Performant over the last year has been dreamy! I had wanted to collaborate with them for a while, and it’s been as awesome as I hoped. (And this link has a tiny sneak preview, aka screenshots, of what we’ve been up to.)
We’re pleased to announce Performant Studio, an open source, standards-based software toolkit for #digitalhumanities projects. Ask @nicklaiacona.bsky.social about it if you see him at #dh2025! www.performantsoftware.com/studio/

Pelagios is proud to count Performant & Rainer as Partners. Together, we are trying to build methods/tools for annotating & structuring data "in the round", where different Partners contribute knowledge, resource and/or funding, towards distributive resilience. Join our community of practice #dh2025
Performant Studio is a set of smaller sharper tools which you can use together or separately, and which integrate nicely with others, including Recogito Studio, the TEI and IIIF annotation platform we built in collaboration with @aboutgeo.bsky.social, University of Bonn and others. #dh2025

Has anyone seen David Richardson, the current head of FEMA? Where is he? I've not seen or heard a word from him during this flood? They've sent Noem out instead which is not usually how this goes.
