#asecs2023 — Public Fediverse posts

Really exciting news this week: my book has officially been sent to press, which means it will be published a little earlier than I'd originally thought! ROMANTIC FICTION AND LITERARY EXCESS IN THE MINERVA PRESS ERA coming your way sometime in late April or early May, available for pre-order (or pre-request from your local library 😊 ) now! #histodons #bookhistory #ASECS2023

It was definitely tenuous for me to come on my slashed funding and I am in a better situation than many people @ASECS #ASECS2023 #ASECS23

This might be a stupid way to ask you, but what does happen? @ASECS #ASECS2023

At the airport for my flight back home. I’m sad not to be staying the last day this year, but I thoroughly enjoyed the work I got to witness and be party to. Thank you @ASECS for a great conference. #ASECS2023 #asecs23

So, the biggest takeaway I have from #ASECS2023 so far is that 1) planning meals with people doesn't work for me because I just don't have the energy to do it. That makes me sad, but it's true. 2) I think I need to plan smaller hangouts, or maybe breakfast, or else dedicate a day to it. I also need to get way more proactive in arranging such things instead of trying to happen upon them. That's lovely when it works, but lets be real here. I will eventually get the hang of this. :)

I usually don't cross-post from Twitter (am trying not to post there at all, but did this time because all the other ReMarkable users I know are on there) but, a PSA: I swear I do not get any money from this company but having my reMarkable at #ASECS2023 is the BEST. All my copious conference notes and thoughts, previously scrawled in random notebooks or free pads of paper from the book exhibit and then lost, are now in one single place! @ASECS

Spending a bit of time with one of The Mummy movies on in the background and playing with the Heurist open source online database for Humanities research. Many thanks to the Bibliographical Society of America panel today for this great direction! #ASECS2023

Thrilled to see African Impressions on the UVaP table at #ASECS2023 (#ASECS23) and in the company those making Virginia such an exciting press for eighteenth-century studies (including our intrepid admin @carrideen ).

So how was everyone's first day of #ASECS2023? I found out a lot that I will need to know next fall about recruiting English majors, learned some things about Haywood as a translator, and ate at this restaurant that supposedly was where Al Capone was arrested with @shandyist & friends.

@ASECS #ASECS23 (since no one can decide on the hashtag).

Headed upstairs from the member's social knowing I am just too sensorily challenged to stay down and be social tonight. A good rest and a dinner in room and tomorrow I should be good to go. #ASECS2023

#ASECS2023 If you're up and around, come join me at 9:45 am for the session "Special Session, Lightning Round: "Sex Objects" and Unstable Luxury in the Long Eighteenth Century in room Sterling 9!

@ASECS Sticking with this plan -- there's a part of me that really seems to feel that pressing that little plus sign makes it possible for me to be at all of these at once. Maybe the #ASECS2023 app is magic!

It has been quite the day, but I’m finally at the airport for #ASECS2023. I’m getting in for Wednesday stuff this year since I present Thursday morning, 9:45am. Here’s hoping for a relatively smooth flight.

Oh, just me adding multiple simultaneous panels to my schedule in the @ASECS app in direct defiance of the laws of space and time #ASECS2023

Okay, I hope I did this right. @carrideen and I asked our #ASECS director if we could create a Mastodon group before #ASECS23, so if you follow @ASECS and then tag it in posts, it should automatically boost your post to all group followers. Try it/share.

@mazdam @danhon Well, go tell people on Twitter to come here and follow #ASECS #ASECS23 and #ASECS2023 (I will do it too but I have few Twitter followers).

Has there been any discussion about the "encouraged to wear masks" guidelines at ASECS? My institution "encourages" mask wearing and nobody wears them 😦

So #ASECS2023 is coming up two weeks from tomorrow, and I'm really excited about attending. The one thing I want to give a heads-up about, though, is that I am moderately face blind. If we know each other but I can't seem to place you, please know it isn't personal -- I just have trouble recognizing faces, particularly if it's been a while or I don't see you regularly. It is no reflection on your work or my enthusiasm for meeting you, I promise.
