This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

This is a good article, thank you. I'll add that alt text can also be a great place to inject color commentary and general snark. Maybe not in your MOST formal documents, though.

Scene is a LONGBOAT sailing on the sea. It is all drawn in the style of the Bayeaux Tapestry.  A voice is coming from the boat:

Owwww

Uuuuuuurgh

Ooooooooh

[Scene changes to on the deck of the boat - still drawn like the Bayeaux Tapestry. A SOLDIER is talking to HAROLD, who is lying on the deck of the boat, with the arrow in his eye.]

SOLDIER:
For God's sake stop it Harold!

HAROLD:
Oh I'm sorry. It's not like I've got an ARROW IN MY EYE or anything

SOLDIER:
Look, we discussed this. The arrow is your thing. People want to see the arrow.

HAROLD:
It's been in there for 950 years. I should really see a doctor

SOLDIER:
No! We are travelling to England to be displayed in the British Museum.
What do you think people would say if you didn't have your arrow in?

HAROLD:
I don't care. I want it taken out. It hurts.

SOLDIER:
No.

HAROLD:
But I could get it seen to in England! The NHS has some of the best tapestry eye surgeons in the world!

SOLDIER:
Oh right, I get it, so this is health tourism...

HAROLD:
Duh, no, cos I'm Anglo Saxon?

SOLDIER:
Ohmigod you sound so Brexit

[Silent pause,, they cotuinue to sail]

HAROLD:
Uuuurgh

SOLDIER:
SHUT UP

[Ends]

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:
Jill Tucker
@jilltucker

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7
11:42 AM • 6/25/26 • 670K ViewsJill Tucker
@jilltucker

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."
CABO VERDE
11:43 AM • 6/25/26 • 92K ViewsJill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

Jill Tucker
@jilltucker
X.com
You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.
11:43 AM • 6/25/26 • 62K ViewsJill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

I finally got up the nerve to write an article based on my (surprisingly popular) talk about designing services for people living on low incomes, and with past experience of poverty. www.linkedin.com/pulse/design...

Designing services for people on low incomes
Income is another lens through which we can, and should, look at the services we design, because poverty can lock people out in unexpected ways. You might have encountered the phrase ‘poverty premium’...

We are accustomed to seeing an emergent protest movement (Occupy, George Floyd uprisings, the MN resistance) and imagining that this very visible instance is the core of movement. When it withers or gets mowed down, we imagine the movement has vanished.
