Graphic design is my passion.
A council poster asking residents to take their bin to their house after it has been emptied. There is a baffling series of images including a blood red cross next to a cartoon of the road and a green tick next to images of bins in some grass.

Walked into the kitchen this morning to find my wife very seriously saying “Should we discuss how handsome you are?” to the cat.

A very handsome discussion-worthy fluffy black cat sat on a kitchen top.

Sci-fi: *uses AI as a metaphor for understanding how people’s agency, experience, and even sentience can be ignored or dismissed by those in power*

Also btw what even IS thinking is a super cool topic I would happily bang on about, but point of the thread is more this kind of thing

Big fan of “and I’m sick of people asking!!” signs.

#Caturday and #AmReading in one. Though the combo has led to some teeth marks in the corner of the book…

Bad news: Shrews aren’t birds.

Good news: they look like this
An adorable little shrew - it’s like a mouse with a really long nose

Baffling.

Make Out Sonnet By F. Douglas Brown The first time I saw two men kissing, I was six, Living in 1970s L.A. My mom took care Of an elderly woman who found herself in a fix And moved into a complex of all men, bare Chested men, with cutoff jeans and tinted glasses. My mother's friend gave me chocolates that matched Her skin-this must be heaven. These sons' asses Peeked out beneath their shorts, but watched Over her better than mom. Took donations for heat, A sofa and a new wig-all changed her mood. They even did her laundry. They did sweet Better than honey. Did family better than blood. And between duties, two men always off alone So desire, like the dishes, could also get done.

Macc pride today so a couple of faves:
What Lesbians Do In Bed SUSAN MATASOVSKA Redesign the dachshund (six legs), Have a fat belly competition (Hers won, in spite of my sometime lodger), Visit Africa in the atlas (Tanzania in particular - the one-time home of a friend) Research tides and the phases of the moon In the encyclopaedia, Do the crossword In between passion and lust (which were quite nice) Redraw the edge of things; Since our reality Is no longer theirs, We must establish Our own.

Lots today has been about neglected perspectives, shifting perspectives, and who gets to decide which perspective to take. Very neatly summed up by @axbom.com’s talk on maps #CampDigital
Per in front of a slide reading “What if other people were given power to make maps? Imagine if all of Google's data and programming ability was suddenly in the hands of a Namibian agriculturalist, a Sahelian nomad or a Senegalese fisherwoman - the maps they would conjure up would be completely different. They might well prioritise soil types over Starbucks, wells over Walmarts and the state of land degradation over panoramic street views of American towns." - James Wan, The Guardian Slide text: For all maps (tools!) , please ask... Who made this tool, why and under what constraints? Whose power is being wielded? What is the data source and is it the right one for the job? What is being left out, added or distorted? What assumptions are being made and/or conveyed? Who stands to lose from the use of this tool?

Hearing @acuity.design talk about how in most codesign there’s a point where people are shown the door, so that professionals can converge on what they think should be done. So have to share this by Rachel Rowan Olive #CampDigital

#CampDigital Always try to swap pessimism for persistence. Or patience . Just another P. Pastries also good.

The slow no is indeed a terror! A no can mean at least an argument or a negotiation. The “not yet” or “not until” is the most common delaying (actually completely denying) tactic I’ve seen in organisations #CampDigital @blangry.bsky.social
