Thank you both for this! I’m looking forward to exploring these questions further.
Replying to @kreshleman and @ProfSuchu
Definitely something I need to dig further into, but it sounds very aligned. More TK!

This completely made my day.

Replying to @melissaterras
Hooray! And thanks!
Replying to @kfitz
.@OldFortunatus Nope! @MLACommons remains focused on MLA members, but Humanities Commons is open to all.
Replying to @kfitz
Thanks, @dancohen! All credit to the team, however, and to the growing community. https://twitter.com/dancohen/status/804690080958967808
Replying to @CyberScrutiny
Excellent! Glad it worked out.
Replying to @wynkenhimself and @Chase
This is pretty horrifying.
RT @humcommons: Great to see Humanities Commons users already making the space their own! https://twitter.com/marinelivesorg/status/805066531193454592

Replying to @martin_eve
Frankly, I am relieved to know that there is *something* you cannot do.
Yes yes yes: “America’s addiction to optimism… allows too little room for resilience, and too much for fragility.” http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/now-is-the-time-to-talk-about-what-we-are-actually-talking-about
Replying to @sherah1918
Hey — did this get sorted out? Let me know if not & we’ll dig into it!
Help us build an open-access, open-source, not-for-profit academic social network at @humcommons! https://twitter.com/MLACommons/status/805780622216196096
Replying to @jbrittholbrook and @humcommons
Yes, please! We have a growing number of participants and deposits in philosophy. https://hcommons.org/deposits/?facets%5Bsubject_facet%5D%5B%5D=Philosophy
Replying to @sherah1918
Okay, we’ll take a look. Thanks for your patience!

Replying to @michaelgraaf, @openscience and @humcommons
Not true! You can register a local account if desired. And soon we’ll provide InCommon/eduGAIN auth.
Replying to @michaelgraaf, @openscience and @humcommons
Ah, the legacy login option is for those who had already created accounts on MLA Commons…
Replying to @michaelgraaf, @openscience and @humcommons
So it’s the network that’s the legacy bit, not the local registration. We’ll ponder how to clarify!

On my way to Liège, honored to keynote Planned Obsolescence: Text, Theory, Technology. https://plannedobsolescenceweb.wordpress.com
Very excited about what promises to be two days of fascinating presentations!
Replying to @bighandsome
Mission accepted.
So excited for my @pomonacollege colleagues. And sending Gabi Starr wishes for a transition from @NYUEnglish to Pomona as happy as mine was! https://twitter.com/historying/status/807237383473217537

Hey, I’ve been in Belgium the last couple of days. Anything interesting happening back home?
Here’s the deal: everything is a distraction from something else equally if not more appalling. We have to find a way to see it all at once.
Replying to @mrgunn
Yes, definitely. Arguments about what the “real” problem is keep us from moving on any of it.
Replying to @kfitz
The always fab @bfister on new not-for-profit scholarly networks. https://twitter.com/bfister/status/809395040837660672

Replying to @colindickey
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this.
Is there a literary term for something that is both repetition and foreshadowing? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38369962
Yikes. https://twitter.com/TravelGov/status/810900465336598528

Hi! Just FYI, we're not claiming any more rights than what we need in order to serve and display the content...
Replying to @jadedid
Oh, I’m sorry to hear this, Jade, but I’m glad you got that extra year.
Thrilled to have had a chance to talk about Humanities Commons with @alison_mudditt. https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2016/12/21/humanities-commons-networking-the-humanities-through-open-access-open-source-and-not-for-profit/ @humcommons
Replying to @ernestopriego
True, of course. But the # of mtgs abt OA that I’ve been in that have ignored the specificity of the humanities is notable.
Replying to @ernestopriego
Often we weren’t invited! It took longer than it should for these conversations to look beyond science for participants.
Replying to @ernestopriego
Definitely.

It was a great convention — but things took a turn pretty much immediately thereafter. #sigh

RIght?!?
God, what a year. https://twitter.com/Gary_TheDog/status/813806527110844416
A million years ago, I spent a year & a half working for Universal Television. On my first day, my boss took me to the commissary for lunch.
Replying to @kfitz
We got in the elevator & headed down to the lobby, and after we got clear she elbowed me and whispered “DID YOU SEE????”
Replying to @kfitz
We had been in the elevator with Meryl Streep and Carrie Fisher. And I totally, totally, totally failed to notice.
Replying to @kfitz
This was very shortly after Postcards from the Edge. I had been in an elevator with two of the biggest stars of my life, and hadn’t seen.
Replying to @kfitz
This story is emblematic of two things for me: my obliviousness, of course, but also Streep and Fisher’s unassumingness.
Replying to @kfitz
They were just a couple of women — stunningly brilliant, beautiful women, of course — but just a couple of women coming from a meeting.
Replying to @kfitz
I have carried that moment with me for years as an aspirational emblem, a kind of grace and centeredness I would like someday to possess.

Oh, sorry! I send you wishes for the longest Thursday ever.
Replying to @marynmck, @hels, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
Argh now you made me look, and I just spotted one that’s also a rice cooker.
Replying to @marynmck, @hels, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
Oh my.
Replying to @marynmck, @hels, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
Good grief there’s one that’s bluetooth enabled.
Replying to @hels, @marynmck, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
Not that I’ve been obsessively studying these all afternoon or anything…
Replying to @hels, @marynmck, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
but I am assuming that the Breville lid is hinged \(& so needs more overhead clearance\)?
Replying to @hels, @marynmck, @DLind, @Nicole_Cliffe and @libbyanelson
\(Overhead clearance is an issue on my counters\.\)

I may have to break out the measuring tape.
Yes, and Watergate wasn’t a break-in — they left a door right on the office! https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/814694184024162304

I wish I could tell you how many email twins I have. Happily, none of them seems to be into porn, but online dating…
Replying to @wilbanks
Yikes.
Then there’s Kevin Fitzpatrick, whose AT&T bills I persist in receiving despite three calls to customer service.
Replying to @dexterauthor
Oh my. I can only imagine, based on some of my email doppelgangers.
Happy new year’s, all. May we find peace and focus within the challenges ahead.
