So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.
Good to know and what a terrible form of purgatory

The dh+lib Review is re-launching after our technology-prompted hiatus.
We invite you to join us as a volunteer Editor-at-Large (EAL). Our EALs are essential to our production process. If you're already an EAL, you can sign up for shifts in the dh+lib slack. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Our first day is tomorrow and the holiday + a long meeeting this morning are making it very hard for me concentrate on top of the general brain fog/trying to avoid media

Now with experiences of programs failing right when I need them and HTRC and Constellate sunsetting, I'm starting to thinking that hard coding is the more sustainable option.
