Today is World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day — two issues that are undoubtedly targeted by the criminal legal system. Clearly, the U.S.'s approach is not working.
Graphic with text: In the U.S., at least 63% of unhoused people with serious mental illness will be arrested in their lifetimes.

The #Turritopsis jellyfish's, #"immortality" works through #reversion: when stressed or injured, it transforms back into a polyp colony stage — it becomes many from one. #Renewal happens not by staying intact as an individual, but by dissolving back into collective form and regenerating.

A reminder on International Day of Older Persons: Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as they did 3 decades ago. Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the nation’s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date.
Bar graph showing that in 2021, 15% of people in prison were 55+, a 5x increase from 1991.

As we age, impairments can affect how we use the web. Our vision, hearing, memory or dexterity may decline, requiring us to rely upon sites being accessible to use them independently. Learn more ways to assist older people online: zurl.co/54avJ #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons #DigitalAccessibility
An infographic shows how to enhance accessibility for older people on websites which is broken down into the following four sections:

1. Vision: Use large font sizes (12pt+), optional dark mode, and ensure pages can be magnified by 200%

2. Physical: Give large clickable actions, spaced out elements, and design for keyboard and speech only use

3. Hearing: Caption all videos, enable media controls, and use high-quality audio with low background noise.

4. Cognitive: Give processing time, provide clear prompts, and remove distractions  e.g. auto-playing features.

How well has the Monopoly pricing stood the test of time? A really interesting infographic.

Monopoly data
The London version of the Monopoly board was created in 1935 by Victor Watson, managing director of Leeds-based John Waddington Limited - better known as Waddington's Games. At its peak, Monopoly accounted for 40% of Waddington's revenue, before the company was sold to Hasbro in 1994 for the sum of £50 million. Decent money - especially back in those days.

Why the story matters.") featuring pillars labeled Love, Power, Justice, Betrayal, and Redemption.Characters & Types of Conflict: The characters section describes them as "The heart of the story" and lists Protagonist, Antagonist, Supporting, Mentor, and Ally with small stick figures. The conflict section asks "What creates the tension?" and lists Man vs Man, Man vs Self, Man vs Society, Man vs Nature, and Man vs Fate.Exposition: "The beginning. We meet the characters and enter the world," showing a house structure and characters standing outside.Rising Action, Conflict, Falling Action: Three blocks sitting side-by-side. Rising Action notes "Events build up conflict and suspense" with figures climbing up. Conflict is "The struggle between opposing forces" with figures pulling a rope. Falling Action states "Events wind down. Consequences unfold" with figures walking down steps.Climax: "The turning point.
