Just about the only thing I can vote in, but probably a lot more satisfying (horrifying?) than any national election I could imagine...
Whenever my students (or others) ask me what a good DH project could be, I send them to this. It was one of the first examples I learnt about as an DH MA student myself, and that fact that it is now 20 years old and still a great example of the genre sets it apart. Congratulations!
Ugh. Boris at the COVID enquiry just made me eat a whole packet of gingernuts.
