Things took a turn on a rural road miles from her home. They turned a knife on her and asked for her bank account PIN. She gave them the numbers one by one, withholding the last digit. She was stabbed and choked. She told them she wanted to watch the stars outside as she died. #crime #news #kzoo

Wow - First look of a realistic rendering that shows how the completed #Kalamazoo Events Center will look. www.mlive.com/news/kalamaz... The site is still early in construction. But the future is shown in an animated video. #michigan #news #downtown #kzoo #hockey #livemusic #basketball #events

I just searched for hashtags, because I guess I really have not thought of it much before.
Anyway, I found #kzoo.to Its an instance near me.
For years I thought I was alone in this ocean of data, turns out there were others just waiting for me to look around.
So if anyone else is local to #kalamazoo #parchment #soutwestmichigan #battlecreek send me a note. I would love to know that others are around me.

A session at #Kzoo next year will be focused on how #Tolkien is being adapted into new media in the 21st Century. The organizer says, "Proposals from those typically excluded from formal academe are particularly welcome," but I don't think you need to include copies of your rejection letters with your idea. 😀

Many thanks to everyone who responded to or boosted my #kzoo #kzoo24 session, "What's a Nice Medievalist Like You Doing in a Digital Humanities Project Like That?" I got many fascinating inquiries and submissions. It will be fun reading!

Any medievalist/DHers out there/here? We're getting close to last call for proposals for #kzoo #kzoo24! I've got one that might be interesting: What's a Nice Medievalist Like You Doing in a Digital Humanities Project Like That?

I'm hoping for very informal, conversational perspectives from anyone in DH who started in Medieval Studies, and found themselves enjoying the world of DH.

Happy to say more about what I'm looking for -- nutshell: informal intellectual journey, with lots of audience participation/questions.

Plz share widely!

The #kzoo #kzoo24 CFP is out! Any Kalamazoo goers who also do #DH here? Please consider submitting something to my roundtable, "What's a Nice Medievalist Like You Doing in a DH Project Like That?" Please share! Thanks! https://wmich.edu/medievalcongress/call#W

Anyone here count themselves as both a Medievalist and a Digital Humanist? Interested in speaking to the question of "What's a Nice Medievalist like you doing in a DH Project Like That?". Watch the #kzoo #kzoo24 CFP coming out July 15. Ask away, and please share! #c4l #dh

Apologies for cross-postings, but if you see this someplace surprising, that probably mean you're who I'm looking for.

Speaking of cold weather... Ever wondered how cold it gets in different parts of #michigan ? Here's the USDA Hardiness Zone map...Look how most of #Detroit and #GrandRapids are the warmest ( #Zone6a ) , and how the lake temperatures keep the left coast almost as warm up to #nwmi & the #straits of #mackinac. As you go north and inland you get down to #zone4a . these zones inform date of last frost and what plants survive the winter https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp/530px-Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp.png #puremichigan #grmi #kzoo #swmi #miwx

I enjoy listening to Honolulu’s #KZOO occasionally. I don’t speak #Japanese, but the station’s new mix of Japanese talk and breezy #Hawaii pop reminds me of many happy times back home. Listening to KZOO now is like listening to the soundtrack of a lot of bars and cafes in #Honolulu.
