This. And a non genAI example: this is why I manually type bib entries into my Zotero database rather than importing them: it takes just as long to strip out what I don't like or want, which includes lower case titles and LoC subject headings rather than my own subject headings. #skyhistorians

this is precisely what we're discovering at university-level writing as well. students end up doing the same amount of work after they're finished moving then deleting the garbage

Historian-writer Blueskies! @leahredmondchang.bsky.social and I are offering an online workshop, "Creative and Narrative Nonfiction: What, How, and Why," via the Renaissance Society of America on Weds Oct 2, 12 noon-1pm ET! 🗃 #earlymodern #18thC #histsci #authors Links in thread. 1/n

Looking forward to hearing Emily O'Gorman and Taylor Coyne talking about more-than-human histories on October 16. I merely sit back and chair. #histSTM#envhist#skyhistorians

History Now: More than human histories

Taylor Coyne and Emily O’Gorman discuss the ways that the more-than-human world has shaped histories.

Is this the final check? Of the edits to the edits of my edits to the indexer's index? Silently screaming as I run my eyes across my Track Changes comments and question every fact I've ever known about the past. #writing#Skyhistorians

Looking over the index assembled by a good indexer and it looks fine but must do due diligence and this is the very last book task and send all the chocolate treats and pastry! #writingcommunity#Skyhistorians

#Skyhistorians#MundosdoTrabalhowww.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Pressed SEND on the final outstanding query from my production editor regarding page proofs. Now all I have to do is check over the index and send the indexer comments by the end of tomorrow. HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY is very nearly totally out of my hands: please clap! 😱 #Skyhistorians

A ton of reading suggestions here! #earlymodern#Skyhistorians#histsci
