Periodization is fake, but also this is the finest example of postmodern printing I've ever seen.

I have taken the grant funds that were in your NEH account and which you were probably using for humanities research, training, and outreach. Screw you the statues will be so numerous so heroic and so cold.

On the one hand I'm incredibly proud to have been named a 2025 ACLS Fellow. On the other hand I'm feeling sad, angry, and guilty that my work is being supported, while so much amazing and important work in the humanities is being defunded. www.acls.org/recent-fello...

Our contemporary notion of logistics comes from efficiently transporting supplies and troops during wartime, but it also played a role in the transportation of human beings to concentration camps. This is a full circle moment. Deborah Cowen's THE DEADLY LIFE OF LOGISTICS is great on this.

We're talking about literal pennies in government spending but I owe my academic career to the NEH. The NEH digital humanities program helped fund two years at Bryn Mawr libraries, keeping me afloat after the PhD; a Summer Stipend allowed me to do new research for the book that helped me get tenure.

An email is on its way out to our members regarding strategies for navigating cuts to federal grant funding. However, we wanted to share that information here as well. We have aggregated information for actions regarding NEH grants, which include broader strategies as well.

Predicted to an acquaintance last week that the humanities were next. This person's position was the humanities hasn't done enough to argue for its value. 🤯 Seems that all we ever do is argue for our value, and now, when that argument is coming home to roost, it's somehow still our fault.

Advocacy alert: @humanitiesall.bsky.social has learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH "with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded." Tell your officials you support the NEH: p2a.co/DdtlGIT

Setting books like The Great Gatsby as required reading risks turning young people against literature forever. If we are serious about instilling lifelong reading habits in our students, we must refrain from assigning any reading whatsoever in our classrooms

Translation studies is not my main field, but I have been reading some of the introductory texts to help me navigate a section of this diss chapter. Does anyone have recommendations on pieces that discuss alt text in the context of translation and/or bilingual texts? #BookHistory

If you’re interested in translation, get yourself a copy of Kate Briggs’ amazing essay This Little Art (Fitzcarraldo edns). I loved it! (And I’m sure @backlisted.bsky.social fans will too!)
