Fun fact: The name is derived from the Greek word ἐχῖνος, meaning "hedgehog", due to the spiny central disk.

Curious what @dieworkwear.bsky.social would have to say about this aesthetic.

The Grey Cup is on, so it's time, once again, to remember that Pierre Trudeau rolled up to Grey Cup in 1970 looking like this.

I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
And from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more.
Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII

Making your content and information accessible is viewed as a nice thing to do. And it is.
But this World Kindness Day, we wanted to remind everyone that access to information is a human right. We shouldn't need to keep asking for it, it's simply how it should be.
