There is no ethical, legal, or moral difference between a missile strike on a civilian boat in international waters and a missile strike on a civilian vehicle on I-95.

I am moderately obsessed with Old School Sesame Street for the same reason.

So much of the older stuff is about presenting a vision of diverse urban community that is deeply rooted in relationship, resourcefulness, and mutual care.
I have been saying for a long time that some of the most vital work we can do right now is creatively imagining a better future, articulating that vision, and building relationships in connection to it.

People are HUNGRY for that, and Mamdani's campaign finds new ways to show that daily.

I love this typeface, but can’t quite identify it. I wonder if the compositor who carefully mitered the border corners to line up with the pattern in the border was pissed at the printer who f%#&ed up the lockup.

Also: gonna survive the ongoing escalating climate crisis by stockpiling Grape=Nuts.

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

It's very easy to not use AI image generators. Less than zero effort required. There's no reason to help normalise it at all.

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

@lhn.bsky.social has a guide for you:

Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

The current administration:

Finally snuck into the print shop for a few hours and cranked out a stack of these—probably not nearly enough, given I say this to myself every time I read the news. But at least I have a small supply for whatever occasion next requires them.

Hey #printers let’s all make NO KINGS! signs. It’s a design challenge for the moment. Make them. Post them. Give them away. Take them to events. #nokings I’m not the first to this idea. But I’m adding my voice.
NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

To be clear: Even greater damage will be done by the loss of federal government productivity. The workers who are losing their jobs were worth more than they were being paid! We are all poorer when roads, planes, and food are unsafe, when parks are closed, etc.

Are you concerned about AI? We had a robust culture built around an older technology, printing. It had 500 years of editorial traditions which kept it stable. We need to maintain a BACKUP of that system, because this new one is scary. That's why I co-founded printingstewards.org/index.shtml

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

THEY COME FOR TRANS PEOPLE FIRST. This is the playbook. Do not accept this Democratic position that maybe the Republicans weren't all wrong and maybe we can accede to some of their hateful bullshit.

Trans life is gorgeous, and brilliant, and capacious, and offers pathways to a better world.
