One of my students just described herself as 'a digital humanist in training' in her final paper (she also just declared the DH minor, so maybe she's feeling particularly confident in her development). Anyway, yay!

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
