As I finish my dissertation, A Taxonomy of Digital Erasure: People, Platforms, and Politics, which critically examines digital erasure with a focus on the Uyghurs, I find myself intrigued by DeepSeek.

"No matter how wide the rain, I’ll always be here to protect you." I watch this movie occasionally because it beautifully captures the magic of childhood, the bond between humans and the natural world, and the power of imagination. #Totoro #StudioGhibli
Saw My Neighbor Totoro on the big screen for the first time. It’s one of my favorite movies because it captures how fragile life is as it drifts between joy, sorrow, boredom, rage, and wonder, and just how we live through it all. Even if the world isn’t kind, it doesn’t mean you can’t try.

After years of struggling to exist on X, minority activists deserve a platform that truly supports them. Hoping Bluesky becomes the safe haven dissident communities have always needed! 🌌✊ #DigitalJustice #FreeSpeech

Happy to be here alongside my entire AnnLab gang. Thanks @dansinker.com for setting this up 🥳 I was anyway tired of deplatforming on X.
