It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Project Salt Box: How citizen sleuths are monitoring ICE in Maryland
Inside their homes scattered around the Baltimore area, the group of watchdogs is unearthing records, like property filings, contracts, and government procurements, that are otherwise overlooked.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

I continue to be excited and suprised this #zinemonth as I see loads of people who are using my mockups. Really grateful for the proof that what I made is useful to creators.
What mockup would you need next? What format or product can you not find a suitable mockup for?
Here's what I have already:

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are".
I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

Folks starting out with digital graphics often throw insane amounts of work at a device and go, "Oh, guess it isn't very powerful. I should get a better one." I'm here to push the opposite perspective — that these machines are more powerful than we can imagine, and we're really bad at using them.

Two mail carriers at the next table in this coffee shop and they are in LOVE. Holding hands, leaning in, contented smiles, basking in each other. Both in their mail carrier uniforms.
It's so nice!
This is part of why those of us who work from home grab the laptop and go get a coffee sometimes
