New #blogpost: “How Humanists Should Use Mastodon”

tl;dr: We should decide.

Have just realised that #academics can use @ORCID_Org to
#verify themselves.

Just include your full mastodon link (like this: https://mas.to/@marekmcgann) in the "Websites and Social Links" section in ORCID, then include link to your ORCID record in your Mastodon profile.

Hurray for distributed digital identities!

Help newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as hashtags. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

Ages ago I gave a keynote on invisible labor but never wrote it up (it's available as a recording but...yikes).

So I'm delighted to see this article, in which the authors draw on many of the same concepts to examine survey data from academic librarians!

My only quibble is that making work more *visible* is not a great solution because the problem is actually exploitation.

I gave this talk on October 28 for the Society of #Mississippi #Archivists about the Mississippi Governor's School class I taught in June, introducing gifted high school students to our state's first Black legislators. It shows, I hope, how #library and #DigitalHumanities work can lead to unexpected opportunities. #Education #BlackHistory #Reconstruction #histodons
