Search for new digital humanities tutles

Al Mode reads:
"New digital humanities turtles" refers to a growing, interdisciplinary research area that reclaims the "turtles all the way down" metaphor to explore animal cosmologies, Indigenous knowledge, and digital, environmental, and technological studies. This emerging field— highlighted by initiatives at institutions like the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
