“I want to introduce the idea of the footnotes as being totemic, as in related to totems, literally like a totem pole...as an applied read of footnotes, their strengths, and what they can do. Like totems, which chart indigenous histories with multiple global genesis points and localities, footnotes are structurally cumulative. They carry the corporal weight of the text. They also bring us closer to the ground... What footnotes can do is give us new models of invention that are built to sustain themselves on earth...a vessel of weird and wild and necessary labor."
— Legacy Russell, “On Footnotes”

A pocket-sized device, that when operated, renders us incapable of describing how great we feel in mere words. We need magic that works. Give me an app for that. Is this too much to ask?
