Sometimes running away from things is also good.

“In every reported case where police mistakenly arrested someone using facial recognition, that person has been Black”

I have to admit, I feel like if you’ve seen one cave you’ve seen them all

I made some zines https://www.matratype.com/projects/isl-zines celebrating street lettering in India, and wrote about them in my newsletter https://mailchi.mp/matratype/typographic-eye-9-zines-street-lettering-india. This set, which is hopefully the first of many more, showcases signage that uses tile as its primary material.

If you’re in India, you can buy yourself a copy from https://www.matratype.com/shop.

International payments and shipping are a headache and really inflate the price, but if you would like a copy or two, ping me and we can try to figure things out.

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

This heat is going to be the death of me

Bangalore has a nasty virus with n>=3 circulating which I caught, very sore throat, bad cold. So my 36-hour voyage home was no fun. When in Bangalore, I read the Deccan Herald, The Hindu, the New India Express, and the Times of India every single day. Not a single article. So much for the news.

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:

1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made

Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant

@aworldinpages this explains a lot what I have seen in general. Never knew the term for it.

Dr. Mae Jemison, MD, the first black woman in space and first actual astronaut to appear on a Star Trek show, one of the very few people on this planet of whom two pictures can be posted depicting them doing their job on a spaceship with entirely different contexts.

I don’t know if “climate activist” is really the right way to put it. Like, if I’m drowning and trying to come up for air, I’m not suddenly an “oxygen activist”—I’m literally just trying to stay alive. Maybe addressing climate change shouldn’t be viewed as an “activist” position.

I’m tempted to start a YouTube channel where I review Asian groceries. Starting with this one

Wild that there's tons of movies, shows, games about zombies but nothing about a biological agent that chills people out, makes them get along
