It doesn’t get better. You’re screwed now.

At long last, our book "Don't Collect the Deadly Wallpaper" collects the beloved deadly wallpaper.
Shadows from the Walls of Death (1874) gathers real swaths of poisonous arsenic wallpaper sourced from stores across Michigan. Originally printed in a run of 100 copies, only 6 remain due to recipients fearfully destroying their copies: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/kedzie-shadows

(In any case, the villain of the story is the delivery apps who are forcing people, often marginalized immigrants just trying to hustle in the sleet & snow for 12 bucks an hour, to deliver your burrito as quickly as possible or they won't get paid. but that's a thornier discussion than "e-bike bad")

Gonna wave this around the office for a bit.
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

In return, the two bands I mentioned:
I keep my notes from her talk 2 years ago close at hand.
Michelle Williams is a badass.
Three levels of govt were able to coordinate a $380M budget for FIFA in Toronto. That’s enough to house/feed/&c. >7k people for a year at $54k each, which is the AVERAGE cost of living in Toronto. That’s a choice.

Hey Knowbility! Great to see you here!
Oh this is sad news, but boy does she ever deserve it!
For those attending, I hope #A11yTO is a great event, filled with the usual excellent opportunities to learn and share work. I am experiencing serious FOMO this year, but I’ll be down the street, doing the work nevertheless. Go get ‘em!
My office is at University and Wellington. I believe we’ll be fine 😀
