I took a leave of absence from my PhD during my final year to accept a non-ac job offer and move across the country. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. The support, respect, compensation, and opportunities in this role go so far beyond what was available in the ac roles I was interviewing for.

I’ve been applying and interviewing for both academic and non-ac industry jobs. Salaries are obviously much higher on the non-ac side. Folks who decided to stay in academia, what convinced you to stay? Folks who have left academia, do you have any regrets?

Here’s a list of what I was reading about Generative AI in 2024 that didn’t make it into the Slop Infrastructures pieces. The rest have been sorted into categories with questions — covering AI’s anti-human streak, AI & imagination, environmental impacts, shared myths and more.

I have an upcoming zoom interview for a TT faculty job in DH (in an English dept) that I’m very excited about. What’s your best advice for first-round interviews?

I intended to spend this #DayofDH2024 working on enriching my dataset of author identity representation in American literature anthologies, but the job market/cover letter writing chaos took precedence (which led to daydreaming about planning DH courses 🤓💭)

🚨I'm seeing some climate accounts posting overpopulation stuff, so I've removed the paywall from my article on the subject: Overpopulation Is A Racist Trope.

Folks who manually encode texts using TEI: there’s a new-ish open-access program that makes it a million times easier! I published a user guide on encoding texts with FairCopy. It’s geared toward my encoding work w COVE, but anyone using TEI might find it useful: scalar.usc.edu/works/tei-te...

Years ago, a mentor of mine remarked in passing that there are 2 types of writers: those who write about complicated things in a straightforward manner, and those who write about straightforward things in a complicated manner. They encouraged me to be the former. I still think about this comment.

Favorite DH tool this week: Orange 🍊 I’m learning my way around the interface and working with a small corpus I’ve encoded to classify texts based on shared features.

A new open-access journal, Public Humanities, has launched. I'm proud to have a piece in the inaugural "Manifesto" issue, on "The Necessity of Public Writing." I hope academo-friends will read, circulate, propose, and submit. doi.org/10.1017/pub....

Anyone know of existing literature on student clubs or organizations that teach undergrads programming languages, UX prototyping and design, app development, etc.?

My cat is more popular than I am. He’s skilled in unwelcome dataset manipulation (stepping on keyboard) and swatting at moving data visualizations. He’s working on a dissertation on cats w uncanny human-like facial expressions, but it’s basically an autobiography.
