Honoring our collaborators @performant.bsky.social, whose rigor and skill helped make Native Bound Unbound possible.

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

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. 😍

Roopika Risam's keynote at the #DH2025 conference.

"Many of us came to [DH] because we believed in the liberatory promise of information, in a relationship between access and equality. Or that digital platforms might redistribute power, offer possibilities for new voices and stories to emerge."

What I like (a lot) about this #DH2025 keynote is that it is both inspiring — a call to arms (or, better, a call to care) — and, at the same time, practical. It values as much what's already there and used as it does what's shiny and new.

You can find yourself in this #DH2025 state-of-the-union. In our small way, we are prioritizing "care over speed, sufficiency over spectacle, community over competition", by sharing knowledge, giving advice & building resilience into tool development (thanks to Partners like @performant.bsky.social)

And if you aren’t at #DH2025, ping any of us — happy to chat :)

We’ve been working on all sorts of open source tools, and I am *personally* quite excited about the mapping tools and the annotation tools because, well, #PlaceNerd and #LitNerd. I map and mark things up for fun 😅

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.)

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

Possibly of interest for folks at #DH2025. Dan is using Rainer's magic liiive.now. Give it a whirl.

Chose “Digital Mapping & Crowdsourcing for Cultural Heritage & Dialect Studies” for my first #DH2025 session. bit.ly/40R5T7U / maps are such a key entry point for many DH projects and these were all excellent examples / great to see @iiif.bsky.social used in various projects
