Wrapping up our week on cylinder seals 🌀
The seal was the tool – the impression carried the meaning, authority, and story.
Which would you keep: the carved object or the rolled design?

Seattle Worldcon 2025 was an incredible experience! A huge shout-out to everyone who came to every panel with the word "solarpunk" in it like it was their job. ✊
My big takeaway is that we're all looking for hopeful visions of the future - the people want solarpunk! So honored to be able to present my research and network with amazing authors & organizers in such a beautiful city.

A slightly updated #introduction as I'm closing out my tiny private instance and moving here.
I had stepped away for a bit, so I am hoping the move here really pushes me to refocus and re-engage with communities on Mastodon.
As for who I am:
I'm a researcher, writer, and developer living in Minnesota. I have a PhD in #TechComm with research interests in the #digitalhumanities and the #sociotechnical histories surrounding technology.
I work primarily in the #civictech and #nonprofit space helping organizations tackling homelessness.
I also talk a lot about #poetry , #art, and the random #ttrpg.
I am looking forward to re-connecting!

Revisiting Data by Design: An Interactive History of Data Visualization by @laurenfklein and the team at Emory University. Such a neat way to present the history of data visualization: https://dev.dataxdesign.io
While the book is forthcoming, the website already offers an impressive investigation into the contexts of historic maps and charts — featuring annotated originals and interactive recreations.

Avec Margot Mellet ( @mmellet) nous avons lancé un appel à contributions pour le prochain numéro de la revue Mémoires du livre (https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/memoires/) :
Créations, pratiques et engagements des collectifs éditoriaux
Résumé court :
Comment est-ce que les pratiques éditoriales de collectifs, au contact de la culture numérique, évoluent, changent ou se stabilisent ? Comment les collectifs permettent de faire naviguer l’édition entre déterminations des pratiques par les outils numériques et appropriation libre de ces outils ? Dans les reconfigurations des façons de faire de l’édition qu’ils proposent, à quel moment la chaîne de production se fige-t-elle et s’institue comme un nouvel ordre ?
Informations complètes :
https://www.usherbrooke.ca/grelq/actualites/nouvelles-du-grelq/details/55693 (et sur le site de Fabula : https://www.fabula.org/actualites/127840/appel-de-textes-pour-memoires-du-livres-studies-in-book-culture.html).
Date limite des propositions en français ou en anglais (format court de 300 mots) : 1er septembre 2025.
Dépôt des articles (format intégral entre 25 000 et 60 000 signes), si proposition acceptée : 1er mars 2026.
Si vous avez des questions vous pouvez m'écrire ou réagir à ce pouet !
With Margot Mellet ( @mmellet) we have launched a call for propositions for the next issue of Studies in Book Culture (https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/memoires/):
Publishing Collectives: Creations, practices, engagements
Short abstract:
How do the publishing practices of these collectives evolve, change, or stabilize as they come into contact with digital culture? How do collectives steer publishing in navigating between the determination of practices through digital tools and the free appropriation of those tools? Amidst the various reconfigurations of the ways of doing publishing that collectives put forward, can we identify the moment at which a specific chain of production becomes established as the new paradigm?
Additional information:
https://www.usherbrooke.ca/gnec/pj/call_for_papers_mdl_no_34_ev.pdf
Deadline for the proposal in English or in French (short format, 300-word): September 1st, 2025.
Deadline for the completed papers (between 25,000 and 60,000 characters in length), if proposal accepted: March 1st, 2026.
If you have any questions, please write to me or react to this pouet!
