there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Today's copyediting bugbear: journals that have a 'published online' date and different 'publication' date for the print edition.

And you'll never guess which one is the 'official' one... 🙄

The folks organising the @ukiedh.bsky.social are some of the best in the business (generous with their time and fun to work with - a winning combo)! I'd highly recommend joining them to help shape the future of #DH in Ireland and the UK.

BREAKING: Justice Jackson cites the Colored Conventions Project Digital Archive her dissent in Medina v. Planned Parenthood. These public collective digital projects MATTER and they WILL be heard. 👏👏👏

There's something really interesting going on here methodologically in Justice Jackson's Medina v. Planned Parenthood dissent. You can see it in one footnote.

In short, Jackson is emphasizing that Black Americans are part of the original "public" about which "originalists" should be concerned.

This is extremely niche UK higher ed content, but:

How is there a HECOS code for Christopher Marlowe studies but not digital humanities!?

I do not see how we’re going to have productive academic discussions of "AI" until we stop accepting the marketing that lumps all machine learning methods & technologies into one amorphous thing called "AI"—so we get minimalist & maximalist responses that echo that marketing—we don’t have to do this
