I've binged all of Re(un)Covered, hosted by @bethanyqualls.bsky.social , and highly recommend. I've also been really enjoying the New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social ) podcasts - hearing people excited about their upcoming academic books puts a pep in my step, I'm a nerd, what can I say!

🗃, mid-century modernism fans, an episode for you. I chat with Stephen Coles (Letterform Archive), plus we cover 2 women type designers and their fonts: Montan, Anna Maria Schildbach (1924–?) Thomas Schrift & Versalien. Friedel Thomas (1895–1956) reuncoveredpodcast.buzzsprout.com/2206728/epis...

Y'all Alexis Hall has written a "sapphic Moby Dick in space" and, only a few chapters in, I am suddenly glad for reading Melville back in my MA program because I GET THE JOKES. Go read Hell's Heart. It's amazing and I'm only 12% in. #queerlit #amreading #19thc retellings

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

Preparing for job interview. Faculty position in #18thC British Lit. Cue training montage with furious typing, countless open browser tabs, many cups of coffee. No running up steps... yet. Still channeling the #asecs2026 #asecs26 love; please send positive vibes my way next Monday if you can!

@ecswd.bsky.social i.e. Ea Wilcox and I are vibing with unplanned zines for each of our talks on #sexhist in #18thC for #asecs26. Total delight to see how this project evolves and hope to get more involved! #sexworkiswork

@biblioscholar.bsky.social great job organizing everything, digital people doing so many nifty things! #asecs26 #asecs2026

Yes, I did bring my bone folder to prep my handout that's a mini zine for my #asecs26 talk tomorrow late morning about #sexhist in #18thc London, come join the fun if you can.

Heading to #asecs2026 for some #18thc fun, trains have gotten me to Paris, next stop Newark (after standing in some more lines that is).

If you are in Basel tomorrow afternoon, I'm talking about cats as memes from the #18thc till now. Plus have some nifty new things to share I made w/ Lewis Walpole Library digital collections. 10 March, 14:15 @unibas.ch #DH #DigitalHumanities lab, @ Allschwilerstrasse 14, 3rd flr, Sitzungszimmer.

Hi all, today marks the end of my time as a postdoc for the Punch's Pocket Book Archive project. I'm not 100% sure what's next, big picture, but in the meantime here's a post I wrote last month about #19thC Crystal Palace dinosaurs, ht @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social for info 🦖🦕 ppbka.hypotheses.org/2803

That feeling when you scroll just a bit too far in your feed and then end up more depressed than when you got on here seeking something to lift you up—and found some sparkling moments of light and laughter—but then kept going. Who to blame besides late stage capitalism? #amwriting

My kingdom for paying people to do editorial labor across the board... because it's really, really, REALLY important. The scars from negative, mean, unprofessional feedback last for years/decades and are so unnecessary.

Rebecca Colesworthy@rcolesworthy.bsky.social · last yr.

This is it. I see so many reviewers who THINK they're being really kind and generous and they're not. Enter: the editor. It's our job to buffer, to edit where we can, to support, to help sort through what's useful and what isn't. This is harder though when it's an uncompensated journal editor.
