I was going over some of the trends/eras of illustration with my students today and Corporate Memphis created the most conversation. It was compared to a business man in a happy face mask, Arial & pop music. Good in contexts like brightening up a train station, bad in masking the cruelness of tech.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

I've said this many times before but the best practices of survivor support (believe the survivor and assume the accused did it) are in direct conflict with the best practices of criminal justice (treat the accuser with healthy skepticism and assume the accused didn't do it) and that's... an issue.

These people call themselves “America First” (This is Anchorage’s famous “Mountain City Church, né “Anchorage Baptist Temple,” whose influential pastor Jerry Prevo took over at Liberty University after Falwell Jr’s fall from grace)

A cavalcade of flags of the State of Israel on display outside Mountain City Church, Anchorage, Alaska (which is in the United States, not Israel). The electronic sign asks, presumably rhetorically, “What Does the Bible Teach About Israel?”

To those who have supported the Trump Administration’s weaponizing of allegations of antisemitism: Do you see how preposterous this is? Nothing here is making Jews safer, it’s just using immigration enforcement to punish people for their political views.

In a multi-racial and religiously pluralistic democracy like the US has at least claimed to be since WWII, there's no such thing as "the Indian Question" or "the Jewish Question" unless one is a racist or a theocrat.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

the solution to keeping wetlands pristine and having effective urban development boundaries is to upzone built areas, but instead left-NIMBYs say that upzoning is settler-colonialism while right-NIMBYs say that apartments are gay and that allowing developers to build more of them is communism

What frustrates me is that in many Dem or left of center political campaigns in AK there's this almost axiomatic belief that fundraising should go towards data & media bc that's what persuades -- while not considering that who you hire/contract & pay can persuade & build trust -- or do the opposite.
