DRI Winter 2025 Participant JD Davids (crankyqueer.org) shares how the DRI is more than a computational skills bootcamp on this week's Tagging the Tower blog post. Read "Finding Tools for Queer “Illder” Activist History at the Digital Research Institute" at gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2025/05/09/f...

"Queer illder ancestor Kiyoshi Kuromiya of ACT UP Philadelphia starts to hurl himself
onto brick wall outside the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office
in 1999 at his final civil disobedience action
after a life of justice struggles,
at a protest for global HIV treatment access."
