I am super grateful right now to Noticing, @tcarmody’s http://kottke.org newsletter, which pointed me to https://kottke.org/18/01/a-choir-of-strangers-accompanies-david-byrne-singing-david-bowies-heroes, which in turn led me to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm0kyrI-B-I, which now has me a teary mess, but at least for some really beautiful reasons.

Oh man, that does not sound like the worst.

This ranks very highly on the list of important information that has come my way today.
It’s been to see all of the support and thanks going out to @DEJPett today. I had the privilege of working with him for two summers at #MSUDAI. He’s an amazing scholar and a true mensch, and I can’t wait to see the great things he does next.

Ugh, I am so sorry. Winter travel is getting worse and worse.
A huge milestone. Congrats, team @omeka! https://twitter.com/sharonmleon/status/965932867401519104

I recognize that there are many worse crimes in the world, but any retailer that would slap a non-peelable sticker on a book cover is deserving of some serious retributive justice.

Oh, it’s so gorgeous!!! This is just perfect.
This morning, I'm both thinking about and opening up a new community review process. #generousthinking http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/community-review/
Replying to @kfitz
As it turns out, it was. Over the course of two highly -- *eventful* years, let's call them -- I read and thought and wrote a bunch about generosity, about the public good, and about the challenges facing today's institutions of higher education. #generousthinking
Just about two years ago, I gave a talk at the University of Richmond that I thought might turn out to be the first chunk of a new book project: http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-the-university-and-the-public-good/ #generousthinking
Replying to @kfitz
My argument -- and my sense of what that public good is and how best to serve it -- is of course only one perspective, an inevitably partial one. So I'm hoping to put it in dialogue with yours. #generousthinking
Replying to @kfitz
All of us who care about the future of higher education -- faculty, students, administrators, alumni, parents, policymakers, and more -- need to think together about how to create and support institutions that might best serve the public good. #generousthinking
Replying to @kfitz
Those challenges are legion. Those of us who work on campus often focus on the external challenges -- austerity, anti-intellectualism, political attack. But many of the problems we face originate inside the house. #generousthinking
Replying to @kfitz
I'm looking forward to seeing where the discussion takes us. #generousthinking
Replying to @kfitz
This morning, I've opened the manuscript up for comment by any interested reader. I hope you'll consider coming by, reading along, and sharing your thoughts, both about my argument and about other readers' responses. https://generousthinking.hcommons.org #generousthinking

Replying to @anniekjohn
Thanks so much! I’m a bit more cautious than I was nine years ago \(\!\) but still excited, too.
Replying to @PaulaKrebs, @humcommons and @MLACommons
Preprint servers focus, unsurprisingly, on preprints: manuscripts of articles on their way to publication. @humcommons and @MLACommons happily host preprints, but so much more: syllabi, conference papers, datasets, etc. etc. etc! #nfais2018
Replying to @PaulaKrebs
They are!
RT @JHUPress: We are excited to be part of the open review of Kathleen Fitzpatrick's latest project! https://twitter.com/kfitz/status/968861903643701248

Thank you so much, @lesliekwchan! Your example in working toward open scholarship sent me down this path years ago. https://twitter.com/lesliekwchan/status/968986227054608384
Replying to @PhilosophyBB and @That_Kreigh
Sounds interesting!
