The Humanities Commons mascot made an appearance at the Detroit Zoo this weekend! :hc:

The Zoo currently has an exhibit called Brick Live, which is Lego but not using the Lego name to avoid royalties. 😆 It was really cool, with a bunch of Lego animals of all shapes and sizes. #lego #hcommons #platypus

Hi, @hello, what would you say is best to refer to an article that has been admitted, reviewed, returned, and waiting for the journal to be published: forthcoming or in press?

For context, I work in a languages department in the US. And I have seen different ways of using “forthcoming,” from an accepted paper to a simply drafted project.
@academicchatter #Forthcoming #InPress #hcommons

@julia I think it’s quite natural for different instances to have different approaches here. Many instances exist as clubs, providing a space for people with more or less similar interests and identities.

I do think, however, that an instance devoted to the humanities and higher education needs to have a very high threshold for blocking entire instances. I would definitely hope #hcommons takes a fairly hands-off approach and lets users decide for themselves if we want to block Threads or not, as @scrivenersmith suggests.

I do not trust Meta (or any of the big tech companies, really) in the least, but nor do I think we should block them on principle as long as there are users on those platforms that some of us find worth connecting with.

Folx, what's a good server to set up an account for a #DigitalHumanities project? Are #HCommons and #FediHum more for individual researchers? Recommendations for a #ScholComm instance?

@b_hawk welcome!! Love the #Hcommons group!!

Did #hcommons do a server upgrade?

Can we follow hashtags on #hcommons yet?

I am really glad I moved to hcommons.social – there's much more that interests me in my local timeline. Mas.to is a great server but it's so diverse that I didn't easily find new people that I wanted to follow or engage with. This shows the benefit of switching to a more focused server.
#hcommons @hello

Hi, #hcommons folks. Today's a perfect day to say thank you to our hosts with a donation to support the hcommons Mastodon server.

Hey #hcommons fam - who do we go to for a social option for Mastodon on hcommons.org? Just went to add it (so I can include it in my profile here, of course), but it's not listed on the #social links - unless I'm missing it?

Providing nearly all of one's works #OpenAccess for #OnlineLearning means that they are all #OpenEducationalResources. That includes the knowledge we share freely in #ScholarlyCommunications. Thus, in a sense, we ourselves are Open Educational Resources. A foreign exchange student in my ICT class at Kansai University in Osaka confirmed how the #OER process can work. Among #hcommons repository contributions at https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan
are syllabi and course materials. In this case the student applied my Chart of Levels of Involvement with ICT to his field in his presentation (attached photo). Nowadays this is how to warm the heart of an educator! @edutooters @digisociety @dougholton @sharedthinking @AlejandraPickett

Spent a few days offline as #hcommons sorted itself out (thanks, @hello for all your hard work!! #TipYourServer ) and discovered I've quickly grown fond of this little corner of the internet.

@samgrinsell wow really nice job #hcommons

Ancient #mastodons also did a lot of roaming around: #bildung #fediverse #hcommons... still #neuhier #newhere
We are not that ancient, but a fairly new graduate school in the ❤️ of Europe; interested in #archaeology #arthistory #byzantine #ethnology #jewishstudies #numismatic and everything connected to #phdlife #phdchat #academics #phdposition

#introduction

Hello, doing this again as, after some digging and reflection, I've made the move to #hcommons so...

Hi, I'm Krystal. I'm a #lecturer and #PhD candidate doing #Research in #schoollibraries, #ReadingCultures, student reading identities and motivation, and #teacherlibrarian #influence. Looking forward to connecting and learning in this new space.

Some other things I like are:
#HarryPotter (but not the author...)
#Disney
#StarWars
#Reading
#Lifting
#academic
#academicchatter
#academicmastadon

Hi everyone, I am moving to @CristinaLAlfar@hcommons.social I am having trouble moving in a way that followers with come with me. Give me a follow there, please! #hcommons I will keep working on moving. Maybe the servers need time to catch up.

In a rare instance (ba dum tiss) of timely insight, I've changed instances to #hcommons before making too many posts! I suppose reintroductions are in order.

I'm a PhD candidate studying the sociology and structure of the #RareBookTrade specifically focusing on #manuscripts , #fragmentology , and #bookbreaking. Here's hoping those tags fill up more! My background is in #materiality and #ManuscriptStudies, and I'm a private librarian by day. Part of #medievodons and #BookHistodons. I mostly post about #HeritageCrime of various forms, plus some photographic experimentation (and cats, of which I have two).

Pleased to meet you all!

Re- #introduction now that I have moved to the new happy place #hcommons.

She/Her #gradstudent in #interdisciplinary studies.
Focuses are #adulteducation and #writing & #digitalhumanities

I #read a lot #reflect more and #speak sometimes.
