Okay check out this fragment!!!! Painted later by… a genius? (Even if I’m not happy that they painted on the leaves I also kind of love these dudes in the bottom margin. Feelings are complex!)

Since 1965, the NEH has awarded over $6 billion to support museums, historic sites, universities, teachers, libraries, documentary filmmakers, public TV and radio stations, research institutions, scholars, and local humanities programming. Now its funding is under threat.

The recent cancellation of NEH funds has hit the wonderful resource that is the Medieval English Text Series (METS) @urochester.bsky.social, a free online resource that 1000s use for teaching & research.

Just horrible news. The ODH has been such a catalyst for innovation since its inception. My thoughts go out to all those who work / have worked @neh-odh.bsky.social and provided such generous support to the academic community over the years.

Please read this post that my colleague and collaborator, the amazing @patriciaingham.bsky.social, wrote about our 2024–2027 NEH grant that was terminated by DOGE last week #medievalsky #humanitiesinitiatives

(cc @altnehgov.bsky.social)

Opinion | Why DOGE Slashed the National Endowment for the Humanities (Gift Article) Eliminating federal funding for the humanities saves next to no money, but it will cost the American people something precious.

“Americans really like book festivals and local history museums…We especially like it when such gifts are available to everyone, and not just to those who can afford the price of a ticket.” Excellent @margaretrenkl.bsky.social on the high ROI of the NEH. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

An email is on its way out to our members regarding strategies for navigating cuts to federal grant funding. However, we wanted to share that information here as well. We have aggregated information for actions regarding NEH grants, which include broader strategies as well.

Received a notification of termination for my Humanities Connections grant last night. Heartbreaking. Had to let student workers go this morning and inform others that their research funding was canceled. Thank you, ACH, for supporting us all right now in this tumultuous moment @ach.bsky.social
