People like to joke about colons in academic titles, but the formula is pretty clearly "Title I Love: Title that Indexes this Content to its Readership." Let us have this one thing so that we can have a tiny crumb of cake and eat it too. 😅

How Humanists Should Use Mastodon

I’m brand new to Mastodon. Many of us are. This might suggest that we shouldn’t have opinions. But I think the opposite is true. If Mastodon is truly a decentralized platform, if it&#82…

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!

I just can't refer to posts as "toots." Makes me feel like a southern grandma who won't say "fart."

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.

@VegHistory @ccjones13 I run a website about Mississippi's 19th-century Black legislators, and it has involved a lot of family history research. I taught a class for the Mississippi Governor's School (2-week academic camp for gifted high school students) in June that was based on the project. We talked about the family histories of several of the legislators, and we had a virtual presentation and Q&A from a legislator's great-granddaughter. The website if interested: https://much-ado.net/legislators/

A recent, informal presentation I did about the class: https://youtu.be/XMU8WMmSrDQ
