A meal almost but not entirely unlike Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t decide whether to brave my substitute for cranberry sauce.
A plate containing sautéed turkey breast, roasted sweet potato with cubes, and vegetable Semmelknödel. An unopened jar of cranberry / blueberry compote is next to the plate.

Time was, you contributed to an edited collection or resource and got a free copy of the thing. Now you get three months of free access to the online version. Somehow it's just not the same...

I managed to get all the way to this many years old before having to go through my prose and murder Oxford commas to conform to a stylesheet. It hurts.

Possibly the biggest roadblock to my uptake of #AI assistants is the fact that I have always been terrible at delegating.

I thought the whole point of agreeing to do book reviews was getting a free physical copy?

"That's just, like, your opinion, man": Historical Consensus and Disagreement as Structured Data.

Well, I guess this is the last time I publish in a #DH conference special issue in DSH. This is a stupid exclusion.
