I’m a union designer. I’m working on a show under a union project agreement. Union contracts support and enforce fought-for safeguards and needs.

Especially now, when labor is attacked directly by this administration, unions and labor are our best allies.

I’m putting together a talk / article on design, mythmaking, signs and signals, and the worldbuilding of propaganda, through the lens of design and history. If you’re interested in bringing this to a design class or to your university, let me know.

"... Finally, even the densest rich people want enough of these institutions to continue standing so that they have someplace to send their children. Practically speaking, that is how you make the Case for the Humanities in a way that preserves their presence on college campuses..."

"So no, there is no point in making a Case for the Humanities to the people who are most excited about getting rid of them. What will work with these people, finally, is labor militancy...."
