It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right now—

—While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

When writing alt text for a map of a tornado path, for example, "Map of tornado path" doesn't cut it. Instead, consider the things that sighted users get from the map. That usually includes the direction the tornado is moving and the communities affected.

If you tweet images of what to do during a weather-related emergency, share that advice with blind and low-vision users, too. Add alt text. The alt text should include the text in the image, rather than just a vague description, so people aren't missing out on vital information.

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?

Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?

Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

This is why the rhetoric of obsolescence is misguided. AI is not going to render humanities professors obsolete. AI is a permission structure to university administrators and state legislatures to continue shrinking our presence in education and defunding our research.

Phantoms of the Kirkbride Hospitals The 19th-century psychiatric facilities designed by Thomas Story Kirkbride testify to the longstanding neglect of mental health care in the United States.

"Although buildings may offer settings that are conducive to healing, they do not in and of themselves heal us... And regardless of best intentions or persuasive rhetoric, places designed for the public good... cannot produce beneficial outcomes without sustained social and financial support."

wanted posters on a light post taken at night of Steve Nelson, president of Aetna, David Joyner, president & CEO of CVS Health. Both feature photos of the execs with three bullets labeled DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE detailing the wrongs of the healthcare industry (but not legible enough in the picture to transcribe). “Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.

Wanted posters of Marianne Lake, Denis Coleman, Brian Moynihan, Robin Vince in similar format as others, on a wall.

Wanted poster of Brian Thompson with an X through his photo featuring the same bulleted text as the others. “Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.

Communique: On Wednesday morning over thirty CEOs will gather at the Conrad hotel for the second day of the Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference to discuss how they can become richer by extracting wealth, time, and energy from the working class from all over the world. To welcome them, anon actionists put up wanted posters of the leeches attending the conference, including Martin Smalls of Black Rock, Robin Vince of BNY Mellon, Denis Coleman of Goldman Sachs, and of course, Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare. These CEOs run companies that control trillions of dollars by stealing money, time, and labor from the working class. Do they care about the problems of poverty, homelessness, and injustice at these conferences? No, and their actions are violent. Health insurance companies (like financial services companies) don’t provide us with anything useful - they only limit our access to healthcare. Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class.

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference.

“Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

Peer review requests just keep coming. I’m glad to do the work, but I hope all journals acknowledge our contribution by at least publishing the names of their referees in the past year. Discount codes and free limited-time access to SAGE, Wiley, or elsewhere aren’t very useful tokens of thanks.
