I published 41 interviews from 2018 to 2025 on the Voices of VR covering Augmented World Expo Past & Present. I cover XR & AI like a hyperobject over space & time through the modality of oral history, and this series is 24.5 hours long spanning lots of topics. See my cheat sheet with tags & metadata

Crucial to the protection of biodiversity, “Our public lands nurture wildlife, sustain drinking water, offer sublime scenery, protect cultural and historic landmarks, and replenish our spirits.” We need to protect and cherish these profoundest of gifts. #insects #invertebrates 🌿

Why the federal government is making climate data disappear. Under Trump, climate denial has given way to something even more dangerous: climate erasure. grist.org/language/tru... #Climate #Data #Trump #Science #Policy #Politics #Environment

Trump’s EPA put 130+ employees on leave for sending a letter opposing the administration’s anti-science policies. Punishing federal employees for speaking out is un-American. The workers must be reinstated immediately. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I'm conducting a public intervention tomorrow here in Edinburgh, on the 4th of July, as an act of atonement as an American living abroad. I'll be sitting at a desk with an American flag I have festooned with the word "sorry" made from wool. Read more details here: www.delappe.net

Foundations: please step up and take over the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). This is an absolutely essential scanned archive of all of the old journals and books from the 1500s to about 1920. Has been indispensable for my research. about.biodiversitylibrary.org/call-for-sup...

I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

the extraordinary movie brazil by terri gilliam, has a storyline which hinges on a clerical error causing the arrest and torture of an innocent man under an authoritarian system. the exact same storyline is playing out right now in the USA. this cruelty, corruption, and stupidity is unacceptable.
