This does not wash away the scandalous treatment undoc. migrants suffer through detention in "CIES" (Immigrant Detention Centres).

finally updated my personal website design and content teresapelinski.com . got lots of inspiration from sites in neocities.org , used some gifs from gifcities.org , also added a "/now" section (inspo from sive.rs/nowff) and a blog with rss. concept is "identifying as a netizen of the indieweb"

or you can just try the library out yourself if you have a Bela
I got a paper accepted at NIME 2025! it's about pybela github.com/BelaPlatform... , a project I've been working on for two years now and that I'm very proud about. you can read the paper here >> teresapelinski.com/documents/20...

here's a picture of Emmy Noether, whose 1918 theorem about continuous symmetry and conservation was the only theorem proved by a woman we studied in the undergrad. it's also the most "aesthetically pleasant" theorem I learnt there. not that i can remember what it actually states
