What’s common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

The vast majority of archival documents are neither digitized nor searchable online. 🗃️

A final shoutout to @wepm.bsky.social for making our #ACH2025 virtual world a space of community, solidarity, & play. The final dance party was EVERYTHING, especially after such a heavy day. Thanks @apjanco.bsky.social for being our fantastic DJ 👏. That's a wrap! @ach.bsky.social

Wow, I know @brettbobley.bsky.social is quite the chef extraordinaire, but I had no idea that he makes his own kimchi! Also, @jenserventi.bsky.social - you may break open a sealed bag of kimchi to eat near me anytime (and be sure to bring enough to share)!

*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

One of the best things about it is the focus on spoken-word recordings, such as of poetry. Because we all need more poetry love. Always.

“am not arguing that the humanities should adopt scientific norms, but that they should have the financial means to complement, contest, or rival science in explaining people, societies, and cultures. To do this properly today, they need a step-function increase in funding.”
