Oh, Colin. How awful. I’m so sorry.
Replying to @kfitz
I’ve been thinking about this issue for days. Thanks for being willing to lay out the complexities, @wynkenhimself. https://twitter.com/wynkenhimself/status/762651402896302080
Replying to @jbj and @Scrivenings
I was thinking the same thing. Good gravy, that’s early.
Replying to @Scrivenings and @jbj
That’s what they used to tell us when I was a kid in Louisiana. And we started back on August 23.
Replying to @jadedid
Argh, Jade, I am so sorry you are having such a rotten time of it. Healthcare is such a mess. :(

We launched @MLACommons in 2013 in order to serve the evolving scholarly communication needs of #MLA members.
Replying to @kfitz
We have been working since then on extending the platform, including the 2015 launch of CORE, the Commons’s open access repository.
Replying to @kfitz
We have been working for the last year with society partners - @jewish_studies @collegeart @aseeestudies - to build Humanities Commons.
Replying to @kfitz
Today, we are delighted to announce that with @ColumbiaCDRS we have received an @NEH_ODH grant to support CORE. https://news.commons.mla.org/2016/08/09/humanities-core-receives-neh-grant/
Replying to @kfitz
And, while we’re at it, that Humanities Commons itself will be open to any humanities researcher or practitioner. http://hcommons.org
Replying to @kfitz
Sign up for updates, and stay tuned for launch this fall. @MLACommons
Replying to @martin_eve
We are SUPER excited, and we look forward to helping build an open humanities research community.

CORE is preprints and so. much. more. A fully functional OA repository.
Replying to @billhd and @kmapesy
The grant we announced today will enable us to make CORE interoperable with institutional repositories and other svcs.

Ooh, this is exciting — thanks for depositing, @martin_eve! http://dx.doi.org/10.17613/M63S4H
Google’s “I’m not a robot” widget just made me pick out all the images that contain eggs. One image looked like it could’ve been a frittata.
Is my hesitation over that image enough to prove I’m human?
Stuff in CORE is already openly downloadable; soon everyone will be able to contribute! http://commons.mla.org/core https://twitter.com/MLACommons/status/763371135123660805
Replying to @ashetler
It made me pretty anxious, I’ll admit. A bit more Voight-Kampfy than I needed this morning.
This is what I hear as well. Which makes it even more a direct address. A call to action. https://twitter.com/wynkenhimself/status/763384975009976320
Replying to @JMarkOckerbloom
We are open to suggestions from users, of course. But there are more item types available than those that have been used.
Replying to @JMarkOckerbloom
The best thing to do is to email commons at mla dot org — we can make the fix!
Replying to @CapitolClio
Thank you! We’re very excited about the possibilities ahead.
Replying to @JMarkOckerbloom
Fantastic — thanks for doing that!
Replying to @marynmck
We could really throw ‘em a loop and send them to Natchitoches next.

AAAARGH this is not 2FA this is circa 2003 stupidity I hate these things.

Also their iOS wifi login page \(in lounge & on plane\) won’t allow use of pw managers. No copy & paste. Must be typed.
Replying to @tubofguts and @isaach
Which for me means displaying my pw in large type for everyone around me to see so I can read it to type it in.

“If this storm had a name or if it happened in a city the country recognizes, anchors and camera crews would abound” http://www.salon.com/2016/08/16/louisianas-quiet-crisis-cable-news-and-the-folly-of-disaster-porn-coverage/
That city is my hometown. Eight people are dead. Thousands are in shelters. And the flooding continues to spread.
And this, a third of the way down the front page, is what we warrant from the NYTimes.
That’s as big as the coverage has gotten all week.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
It’s awful. Three different houses I lived in growing up are flooded. Many of my friends’ parents’ houses.
Meanwhile, Baton Rouge’s local paper continues reporting its heart out. http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/collection_c1b1183c-632e-11e6-a945-07dae8d6b35b.html
Support your local papers, folks, especially if they’re locally-owned. The world needs to know what’s happening where you are.

Yep. When the Manships sold in 2013, it was purchased by a NOLA businessman.

If you’re far from Baton Rouge and want to help, please consider a financial contribution to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. @brfoodbank
.@brfoodbank is a very highly rated charitable organization, doing crucial work in the community, and they’ve been hard hit by the flooding.

#msudai My secret horrible fail: My orals. I had zero conception of what the exercise was asking of me, and prepared totally, totally wrong.
#msudai That fail was the most important thing that happened to me in grad school. The next month changed my view of what I was doing & why.
#msudai And it helped me develop a sense of compassion.
Replying to @sherah1918
Yes! Our NEH grant includes building the pipelines to help CORE & IRs share data automagically, but for now, dual deposit.
Replying to @sherah1918
Our sense is that “unique” matters less & less in networked schol comm: lots of copies keeps stuff accessible.
Replying to @sherah1918
But we recognize there are many questions to answer here, esp. around creating relationships between items in multiple repos.
Replying to @sherah1918
I’ll file this away & be in touch a bit down the road!

Replying to @amandafrench
It is painfully true, and so hard to remember.
Replying to @amandafrench
Exactly. I am a very slow reader of research, and a very thorough note-taker, which makes small chunks of time unhelpful.
Replying to @ekansa
This… seems non-optimal. I’m glad you’re taking it well. #msudai
