Mark SampleCheck out these two thoughtful posts from @kfitz about what we might call "an infrastructure of one's own" when it comes to our academic social networks.
Fitzpatrick considers what it would take to create a scholarly communication network that is truly "non-extractive, community-led, and transparently governed." (Hint: Bluesky isn't the answer. And any social network that relies on AWS has its own challenges to overcome.)

Kathleen FitzpatrickHello friends! If you have academic friends seeking a congenial, collectivist refuge from whatever seems to be happening over on Melonhead's site, may I suggest hcommons.social? We operate with a set of server rules that we take seriously (https://hcommons.social/about) and we have an amazing local feed. Tell your friends!
Still trying to process the chandelier in the bathroom. I know it’s maybe the fifth notable thing in that photo, but what?
johanna, at the cafe counterWelp. This has crossed my social timelines again today. And the ONE RULE I want to carry over from that bird place is this one: if the Tom Holland Lip Sync Battle Umbrella video arrives in your timeline, you must share the Tom Holland Lip Sync Battle Umbrella video.

Matt Reed"Treating the humanities as a frill essentially relegates them to a playground only for the wealthy, but the wealthy have no monopoly on talent or insight. If the humanities are about what it is to be human, well, there are lots of humans at community colleges. They deserve to be taken seriously." https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/confessions-community-college-dean/notes-community-college-humanities-conference
