The #ACH2025 WorkAdventure panels = visible traces of community. I love "seeing" folks attending the panels -- thank you @wepm.bsky.social for this joyful gathering space! 10B session on "geriatric" DH is an exploration of access, cybersecurity, sustainability of older DH projects! @ach.bsky.social
Screenshot of the virtual world built in WorkAdventure. Two side-by-side 2d rooms with many avatars attending the panels can be seen. In the far upper left corner is a blue phonebooth that references Doctor Who.

Transcribing underway for #DouglassDay2025 at ASU! We’ve got folks dropping in and out, and the cake is on the way!
A person wearing a black jacket and hat face their computer, which is showing the library of Congress transcription site. The person faces away from the camera and towards a screen showing the Douglass day livestream.

Oh, and we'll have stickers. 💫 #DouglassDay2025
Stacks of stickers lay slightly spread out on a desk. The stickers say "DouglassDay.org" and "Douglass Day 2025" and come in red and black. A few circular stickers with Frederick Douglass' portrait can also be seen.

I hate everything. I’m glad TikTok is back and the platform doesn’t seem to have been altered.

And I hate everything.

This (urgency, panic, sadness, fear) is what the next four years/forever will feel like, huh?
Pop up over TikTok feed says “welcome back! Thank you for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the US!”

Hi #ACH2024 -- Our first poster session is live in our virtual world (Work Adventure!). Come visit, connect w/ folks, & hear about the work that's happening in community. After the past two days, it's good to find friends, smiles, joy.

A two dimensional, video game-like virtual world with small avatars of four people can be seen. On the right hand side of the screen, four people are connected virtually and their cameras show their bodies from the waste up. All four people are smiling and reaching out to "hug" each other.

The WoGeM meetup was amazing today & it felt good to be back in that space. Bc I mentioned the Academic Tarot Project, I drew a card from the deck for us!

The ABD.
A card of retreat, reflection, and return (as we all begin to return to our institutions, what are we bringing back?). #DH2024
A deck of cards lies on a wood table, the stack of cards is turned down, and the back of the cards have artwork with the following imagery: a graduate cap, a virus, and Covid-19 test swabs. One card is turned over, and the label at the bottom of this card says “The ABD”. The artwork on the card is abstract; a human figure is mostly obscured by a cascade of paper, and they face towards us with kind eyes, messy hair, and hands that are typing on a laptop.

It feels very joyful to have my first post here be about how @spotvin.bsky.social @hauntologist.bsky.social and I are closing our trilogy of articles (ten years in active collab!) with a call to mend, to re-center and recognize the human in our dh infrastructures. I <3 my brilliant friends.
A screenshot of a Google Document with the title of the article being "The Cruel Optimism of Infrastructure; a Call to Mend." The listed authors in order are Sarah Potvin, Spencer D. C. Keralis, and Elizabeth Grumbach.
