Has anyone else in Virginia seen this weird fruit AI ad for the upcoming referendum?
"[This paper] provides a fresh perspective on the role of animals in forging human’s understanding of the ocean’s depths, and on the interplay between science, technology, and myth in defining the human relationship to the natural world." #animalhist #oceanhist #envhist #envhum
If you missed this week's excellent talk on folklore and horror in Indo-Caribbean and Métis cultures... you can find it here!
It was a great talk and a good introduction to the subject (with a whole slide worth of author recommendations!)

I cannot explain how deeply I love Tumblr's gothic photography communities. They are all absolutely stunning.
Officially on the @berghahnbooks.bsky.social website: "Antarctic Materialities," which I co-edited with Ximena Senatore, featuring chapters by @medievalpenguin.bsky.social, @fwinckel.bsky.social, @sarahmpicks.bsky.social and more! #histsci #envhist #polar

In terms of completed sections, I am halfway through drafting my 1st dissertation chapter. Sitting at 21 pages currently and have two more sections to go: a major theory one and then a conclusion.
Did not expect to be back in College Park so soon after ASLE last time I was here.

Having formally started my dissertation it is weird to look back and see the seeds of this project in my coursework. It seems both totally alien and deeply connected to those earlier works.

Finished my panel "Haunting and Recovering Media: Analog Pasts, Digital Presents, and Multimedia Futures" about an hour ago. It was a wonderful way to end this MLA which taught me a lot. Happy to present on Brendon Burton's photography, something I have wanted to tackle for a long timr.
Mamdani's Executive Order Number 1, as described in the post.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
