I want to work on a zine idea today. I’m nervous about it though. But also it won’t get done if I don’t try... or I have the 4th-8th free. So maybe I’ll work on it then. Maybe I’ll see how I feel after that.
If you have medications, are you taking them?
I wonder if it’s the 30s building strength faster than I expected or just the last two years but wow I have developed the skill of not giving a fuck about how I look and prioritizing something like sun safety.
I mean I have my giving a fuck looks but if I don’t? I don’t at all.
I don’t even have to worry abt embarrassing kids or not. It’s GREAT.
Some pictures of the "bai jia bei" #quilt which I ended up finding through my friend Sari. It's safely arrived and opened, so I can post pictures without spoiling anything. And more info, thanks to Dr. Marin Hanson, International Quilt Curator at the Quilt Study center at University of Nebraska-Linkcon http://ruthtillman.com/bai-jia-bei-the-one-hundred-families-quilt/

This is super important for anyone doing any kind of organizing and also just is useful in general
Extremely grateful that my colleague Ben Goldman put his thoughts on climate change, digital preservation, and the anthropocene into this book chapter "It's Not Easy Being Green(e): Digital Preservation in the Age of Climate Change"

Reading it moved me and challenged me.

This is the last thing I'm going to say on that place:
Black people, women, trans people, and disabled people should not have to hide ourselves to avoid harassment.
If you don't want us blocking and avoiding your nazi-land en masse, if you don't want your software to be associated with nazis, come up with ways to stop the nazis from harassing us rather than crying TO US about your precious software.
Give us some confidence in your software's ability to not be abused by nazis. Duh.
The myth that artists have to “suffer” in order to create great work comes largely from the perennial human fascination with disaster porn, with a soupçon of militant Puritanism thrown in.
And it pisses me off.

Holy. Shit. Y'all. Listening to the Zeal & Ardor album Stranger Fruit. I'm halfway through and it's extremely tight and compelling. For my #blackmetal #metal folks. Spotify and YouTube and Amazon Prime and then you can actually buy it from them...
(Z&A is a project by a Swiss-American biracial artist where he combines spirituals and black metal... touch of nu-metal... and yes the reference is extremely topical)

Project Wonderful was the single last decent advertising service and I will miss it dearly. It didn't do any tracking, it wasn't invasive, there were no "bad ads". It was an image and a link. Sometimes a GIF. You had 100% control over what happened.
And now it's gone.
The obituary is here; it's worth reading. https://www.projectwonderful.com/thanks.php

I wonder what effect it would have on the world if we changed primary-education classrooms to put zero stigma on saying "I don't know" or giving a wrong answer.
