“I think fun is a cop-out sometimes.” (11/16/2025)
Tracking out the location of different manuscripts I need to see, and which ones I've got / transcribed / have a plan to visit - spot the difference?
🗣️ Beginning Sept 11th we’ll be publishing a blog series on our website from DARIAH-IE’s 2025 ECR Bursary awardees, Rachel McCarthy (UCC - CASCADE), Dr Caitlin Burge (UoG - STEMMA), Vera Yakupova (TCD - CLSINFRA) and Dr Izzy Fox (MU). Find out more here: buff.ly/tNp7PWE
Some of our participants from the hackathon last month sat down to chat with our friends at @portershed.bsky.social about the project and their work during the hack - keep your eyes peeled for the footage!
But how better to start than to learn more about STEMMA from @erinannmcc.bsky.social herself?
This is what I look like when I code, so I figured it was the most accurate representation of the hackathon
We're still buzzing over our STEMMA hackathon event - can't believe it's been almost a month already! Check out our hackathon event report - including details on our winners and (extra special treat) interviews with our developers!

If that's about Tommy C's son I will be devastated
Potentially! I was thinking that or Winnington - the problem is the Bulkeley family seem to have dispersed/married into families all over the two counties, and then had children with all the same names, so tracking down who was where when (if records exist!) is becoming a real rabbit hole...
Thank you both, you are saints! That's definitely it - was one of those where I was just staring at it for so long it wasn't making sense 😂
Going mad with a bit of palaeography here - any help from the hive mind?
Unsure on the third and last words - State Paper Calendar Summary says last is 'Wymyngam' but I'm expecting this to be somewhere either in Cheshire or Anglesey and can't find anything? Help please! #earlymodern #transcription
Two DH icons at once ❤️ #STEMMAhackathon @erinannmcc.bsky.social @ruthahnert.bsky.social #ERCfunded
Apparently we now get personalised coke cans at the hackathon too? @erinannmcc.bsky.social #STEMMAhackathon
STEMMA at @dariaheu.bsky.social 's annual event in Göttingen! @caitlinburge.bsky.social @dariahie.bsky.social
I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
This is what happens when I find things in the archives and then go on unrestrained rabbit hole adventures
Spooky skulls, local landmarks, and deathly doodles - a little bit of everything turns up in our latest blog post as @caitlinburge.bsky.social tries to unpick a manuscript mystery!

If nothing else, Dracula captures the point in a career when the shine really starts to come off travelling for work.
Gru Has A Plan Meme. Gru is explaining his plan very excitedly with a whiteboard. On the first white board, he has written "we target international students to get their money." Second whiteboard: "we use their money to build shiny buildings." Third whiteboard: "International students stop coming because humans aren't an infinite resources and international relations are volatile. Empty buildings need to be paid off." In the fourth panel he looks in consternation and realitsation at the text.
Reality imitates meme.
(This is superb reporting, making visible the consequences of a failing funding model.)

ME: self-care saturdaaaaay!
HUSBAND: it is Tuesday
ME: [margarita machine whirrs awkwardly] well in that case I have some phone calls to return
Have you really spent the last four days in archives if you don't have over 1,000 photos to go through after the fact? Looking forward to some quality transcribing time... #earlymodern
see 'The Devil's Priest' by Kate Ellis (2006) (no advert, haven't read it, but will be on the hunt)
