A head’s up that I will be moving over to hcommons.social imminently. Will try to maintain follows/followers but if we lose each other please re-follow.
This has been a great server btw, no complaints, It’s just that hcommons is where my folks are.

Professor of English at the University of Maryland, main interests are book history (letterpress to digital) and media studies, especially what the cool kids call media archaeology. Here you’ll also find tabletop gaming, cats, cooking, and my dull progressive politics. Google for the rest.
Performant Software SolutionsLooking forward to UVA's celebration of their 30 years of #DigitalHumanities this weekend. It's a hybrid event. Regiter here: https://cal.lib.virginia.edu/event/9712176
And here’s the thing: Even if Dems somehow pull something off, none of these races should even be close. Yet it’s nail biters all the way down. The rot is very, very deep, and none of this is sustainable.
I have zero interest this morning in stories about defying the polls and outperforming expectations. I am only interested in stories about what we win.
Your downer reminder that it doesn’t need to be a Red Wave. All they need are simple majorities, which they will wield in massively absolutist terms like Democrats never would or could. #midterms

The Democratic Party could certainly be better, but the Republican Party could not be much worse.
And whether the Dems lose one house of Congress or both tonight, the window for governance shuts. There isn’t much potential for government effectively governing or the legislature effectively legislating in ‘23 or ‘24.
I’m just having trouble seeing how we become governable once again.

Audience, that’s the main thing. I don’t have a good sense of audience here.
Ryan CordellExcited to share this tenure-track job at the UIUC iSchool in Digital #Archives, #Preservation, and/or #Curation, which I suspect many #digitalhumanities folks might find intriguing—you can message me with questions about that one (or the iSchool itself) https://illinois.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/1/home/requisition/1836?c=illinois
It’s one of 3 tenure track jobs we’re hiring for in #informationscience http://ischool.illinois.edu/our-school/job-openings
A little like a hotel here. There’s novelty, and I like the freshness of the space, but it doesn’t feel like home.
A lot of lag on notifications here.
