One thing I have learned in 2026 is that there is little that gives me more joy than getting an advanced copy of a very brilliant person's forthcoming book 📚 makes me feel *smart* and *important* by association

does everyone get one million spam emails addressed to someone named Todd, or have uniquely been tagged as "Todd" in a database somewhere?

Help. I don't like coffee as much as I used to.

This is such a good project and one I've been hoping someone would do for years. Can't wait to read it.

It's true! Working with brilliant thinkers and writers like @electrostani.bsky.social is the best part of my job. ✨ If you're on sabbatical this fall, consider partnering with a developmental editor (like me :)). I'd love to talk with you about how I can help you move your project forward.

I do want to give a special shout-out to @halperta.bsky.social who worked with me as a developmental editor. Hannah's feedback and conversation were key in helping me figure out what this book should be *about*. If you're working on a book, consider working with Hannah! halperta.com/categories/m...

Woohoo! We have an advance book contract: "THE ARCHIVE WRITES BACK: Minoritized Literatures & the Digital Textual Paradigm" Happy to be working with series editor @roopikarisam.bsky.social and publishing in the same series w/ @aearhart.bsky.social @elikaortega.bsky.social @eve.gd & many others.

It is very hard to remember, years later, which of my twitter friends were friends and which were parasocial relationships where we never actually interacted and I was just a fan.

1) Traditional Japanese theatre (noh, Kabuki, etc) 2) game design 3) astronomy

If you were to take a class, workshop, or seminar on any subject at all, what would you take? Curious what you all are interested in! And also thinking about my own professional development this morning.

I dont know if I want to do blacksmithing or glassblowing more

Have been trying to do an agroecology summer intensive (combined classroom business theory and ethics of farming /practicum work in the fields) for years but the timing has YEARS worked and at this point will probably never work 😭

Scholarly folks who have ever received federal funding: today is the deadline for public comment on proposed revisions that will decimate our national research capacity and replace expertise with political whim. Please consider throwing in your 2¢. See below for some useful links and encouragement.

I did not anticipate about letterpress the beauty of how the (non-brand-new, ie the majority of printshop) type has been used by so many others in so many works. Thinking of @halperta.bsky.social's writing on seeing the lineage of one's work in her Finding Your Purpose (halperta.com/shalperta%20...)

Also saw @rommennoodle.bsky.social's & @starshapedpress.bsky.social's lovely prints hung in the studio gallery hall! Really cool knowing/knowing of so many of the folks w/names signed to work hung at Penland—and that this same well-used (positive) type I'm using was used by so many artists I admire

Faculty, student, higher ed staff friends: Does your dept have a doctoral student handbook that you feel good about? I'd love to see it

Say it like it is: current conditions of un- and under-employment are specifically hitting the managerial middle class, and especially those of us who work for the public good.

just another morning lost to turning off surprise genAI features in google that are "on" by default.

Ideas for my printing on these vintage telegrams? (Words of hope? Bad puns? I could see customizing these a bit per person as an option, which would take longer but be fun.)

Wolfproof Press 🐑🫸 🐺✨@wolfproofpress.com · last mo.

I got a pad of vintage telegrams to print on. Unsent telegrams; messages from the past or future; pangram specimen sheets; serialize something across multiple telegrams; telegram from your pet; interesting real historical telegrams... Ideas?

today is happening just once and it is READY FOR YOU with mystery and adventure and glittering love hidden around every corner. it will be here and gone before you know. TIME TO TROT OUT THERE AND MEET IT

I'm in the "CV" breakout room at #ACH26 right now and honestly the name doesn't do it justice, everyone should be here this is such a good crew.

Joining the Association for Computers in the Humanities general meeting on the first day of @ach.bsky.social conference today, and I’m just so impressed by all the great work being done by this volunteer-run scholarly society.
