Tim SherrattAbout five years ago I created a collection of full-page editorial cartoons from The Bulletin, harvested from #Trove. Through a process that might be politely described as ‘iterative’, I fiddled with an assortment of queries and methods until I had at least one cartoon from every issue published between 4 September 1886 and 17 September 1952 – 3,471 cartoons in total.
Last night, as I was tidying up a new release of the Trove periodicals repository in the #GLAMWorkbench, I had a thought – why not put all of the details of the cartoons in a little database and make it available using Datasette-Lite for easy exploration? So I did! https://updates.timsherratt.org/2024/03/19/a-new-way.html #histodons #digitalHumanities #GLAM @histodons #ozHist

Ellirahim@lbheuschkel @juergen_hubert @germany @folklore It's pretty much the same in South East Asia - Got a malicious spirit? Seal it up in a bottle or some other small vessel. Ritually "fence it in" deep, deep within the forest. Things are fine for a generation or two -- until some greedy property developer, logger or miner destroys the ritual bindings. Plot for a perfect "Nature bites back" horror story.

You have to look at this one for a moment before you get it. There's a portal opened up in a US forest, which lets this puzzled dude see through to … Africa? He's going to walk through it and test out that “in the land of no buckets, the one-bucket man is king” theory.
