today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us. Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects! Get some to hang in your neighborhood! Squidfacts.net

A poster hanging on a brick wall that says Leave your leaves for lightning bugs! with lightning bugs on new purple asters . There's too-small-to-read text in a box with the heading Lightning bugs are struggling to survive, help them thrive by taking these actions

from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

Nothing made slavery’s toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. 129 With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers “learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter.” The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the “goodlooking” daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, “every private in the ranks” cursed “that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women,” according to one member of the regiment. 130 When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, “By G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.” 131

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

The bantam chicks have entered their awkward phase. Spouse: “They kinda look like a kindergartener’s art project.”

A small yellow and black chick looking down from a pink hand in front of a bath tub. She’s reached her teen years, so her baby downy feathers are going away in favor of little pin-feathers that presently look too big for her. She’s very scraggly-looking and awkward.

A similar little hen chick, though this one looks more presentable.

This chick may be a rooster considering the very prominent bright red comb popping out of their head, but who knows.
