I love me some end-to-end encrypted Signal group chat, usually when I'm the closest thing to a journalist there. (Note: I am not a trained journalist, just an aspiring one, a quick learner, and a real-journalist fan grrrl. 💖)

@davidgunkel.bsky.social I just heard your talk about 'Person, Thing, Robot' at UNC Charlotte and it was amazing and my brain is on fire (but not in the medically concerning way, just in the thinky-think way.) Thank you!

At an online #digitalhumanities conference all day, but ran to uptown Charlotte for this. #handsoff ! (Didn't get a better photo, but it was a couple thousand people on a two mile march.)

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

1/3 Some post-'Magic in the U.S.' updates. (Politics TW for 2 and 3 of this thread for those who need it.) Non-trigger: I got to talk about the podcast at the CAS-E 'Alternative Rationalities and Esoteric Practices from a Global Perspective' research group last month and that was amazing!
