Happy to be part of the @ach.bsky.social dance party on this third and last day of #ach2025 ! Thanks everyone and see you next year!

Thank you, @ach.bsky.social #ACH2025 team & to everyone that participated in sessions this week to come together in a time where we need community more than, perhaps, ever! And thank you @audinyann.bsky.social for capturing the pure joy of the Work Adventure dance party! #ACH2025

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

So extremely grateful for the entire @ach.bsky.social community. It’s so powerful spending time caring for each other, building solidarity, and desperately holding on to hope and joy. #ACH2025

So grateful to everyone who pitched in to make the @ach.bsky.social community a warm and loving space in the midst of such difficult conversations. Love this group. #ach2025

*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.

Thank you @claudiaeberger.bsky.social and @plach.bsky.social for #ach2025 #dhinlibraries - this group is always inspiring. @ach.bsky.social #jojodoodles #dhmakes

This #ACH2025 morning (Pacific Time): "What the NEH ODH Has Inspired". @jimccasey1.bsky.social has already made me cry. @altnehgov.altgov.info was essential for me as a professional, for so many of us. My career, the friendships I hold so dear, my work -- I can never express enough gratitude.

Tagging for the #ACH2025 folks 💔

In between stints working at NEH, I got the chance to co-lead an institute on DH+Caribbean Studies. It led me to new friends, colleagues, and opportunities to learn from a truly community-driven field. nehcaribbean.domains.uflib.ufl.edu

My career is deeply indebted to the @neh-odh.bsky.social . They supported the kind of interdisciplinary projects that colleagues weren’t ready to support or credit. They sent the message that technology and the humanities mattered. They pushed research to be more innovative. For pennies!

Attending the annual mtg (online) for the Association of Computational Humanities @ach.bsky.social & thrilled to be presenting a lightning talk abt the impact of @neh-odh.bsky.social on digital Coptic studies. Will post slides later. @copticscript.bsky.social . Much gratitude & love to NEH staff!

good morning #ach2025! I'm looking forward to moderating a conversation about federal funding for digital humanities with amazing former NEH colleagues. ❤️✨ We'll we talk about more than fifty years of funding for digital humanities projects, and where we go from here.

Have a story to share about the powerful impact of @neh-odh.bsky.social ? Please include us in the post and we will amplify.

Now up #16A: Special Session: "What the NEH ODH Has Inspired". Over 50 people here to testify to the incredible work of @neh-odh.bsky.social . Grateful to the incredible civil workers who were committed to the public good and cutting-edge research. Their impact far outweighed their small budget.

ACH friends: I'm leading an op-ed workshop today at 2:30pm ET as part of the @ach.bsky.social's concluding Care Fair. If you want to know more about how to pitch, or have an idea to workshop, please come! (conference registration required) ach2025.ach.org/en/program/

The #ACH2025 WorkAdventure panels = visible traces of community.

On the "three mantras of Long DH" (Futurebuilding DH) from Johannes Burgers: 1) "go slow and build things", 2) "teamwork makes the dreamwork, but nagging helps" (people-first proj management), 3) "love your data like you love yourself" (tech changes, data doesn't; set your data free!). #ACH2025
