So, @kissane and I have formally kicked off our Fediverse research project! Briefly, we are doing interviews with admin/mod teams about governance models and practices that are in place on servers with ~150-2500 active users. More info is available here on the project blog:

Did you know you can add your @ORCID_Org iD as a login method to accessing Humanities Commons? 🤯 This is a great way to consolidate your logins, and you can also add other methods as well.

Keep in mind that your ORCID iD won't be automatically assigned to your Commons account, and you'll need to follow the steps in this guide: https://support.hcommons.org/getting-started/adding-a-new-log-in-method/

The first edition of Children and Household Tales by the Brothers Grimm was published in 1812, last one - in 1857. Do you know how many editions in total did they revise and republish throughout their life? #EuropeanFairyTales #poll @bookstodon @folklore https://nitter.cz/projectvast

Researchers discover thousands of nanoplastic bits in bottles of drinking water. 90% were small enough to qualify as nanoplastics: so small that they can be absorbed into human cells and tissue, as well as cross the blood-brain barrier.
