Standard Notes? Joplin? To name a few!

I get very upset if lines do not align and I sometimes waste a good sticker because it was off by just a little bit 😭

YES hahaha it is a huge rule in my book 😂

A hand holding a dusty pink notebook covered with stickers, clockwise: 1. A purple oval with the words “Nothing is a mistake”, 2. A sort of mushroom character striking a pose, 3. A lucky charm-like sticker with an illustration of a hamster sitting in a teacup of green tea and in Japanese says “I lived today, too!”, 4. A pink rectangle with Japanese kanji character for “social misfit”, 5. An old TV set with a quote by Nam June Paik: “I use technology in order to hate it properly.”, 6. A sticker that copies the look of a Japanese train ticket.

The back of the same notebook, also covered in stickers, clockwise: 1. A blue square with an icon of a wrench and the words “Move carefully and fix things”, 2. Ascii art of mountains, clouds, and grass and the Our Networks logo pixelised, 3. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)’s new logo (it is upside down), 3. The Merveilles Mastodon community’s logo, 4. A femme person jumping for joy with the words in Japanese “I quit (my job)!”, 5. The mascot for a local restaurant named Gateau Ghost, it is an illustration of some sort of blob character with eyes and a smile, 6. A spoof of the green exit sign, except this time a bear is the one running out the door. There are Japanese characters underneath it that (I think) mean “Exit” or “Escape”.

Notebook sticker situation update! We have now reached maximum capacity.

I realised I put the W3C sticker (featuring the new logo, too!) upside down.

Most of the new stickers came from B-Side Label Japan.

And thank you for the repair sticker, @ox.ca!

I was right the first time…”

Nobuo Kubota
(1932-2025)

In my twenties, I was Japanese Canadian.

In my thirties, I was Canadian.

At forty, searching for my roots in Japan, I was Japanese.

At fifty-five, looking to see who I am, I know that it has nothing to do with being Japanese or Canadian…

“When I was born, I was of the Universe.

When I was five, I was the same as everybody else.

When I was eight, the war started: I was different.

During the war, I was displaced: I was a ‘Jap.’

A hand holding up the large, yellow Internet Phone Book with the subtitle “a directory for exploring the vast poetic web, Issue One, 2025”.

Contents of the Internet Phone Book, in particular focus is the entry for “Cutting Tofu” with the phone “number” of 197. The website is listed as being in the Eastern Timezone and its size is 267.5 kilobytes. The description says “I try to write like I’m cutting tofu.”

I got my copy of the Internet Phone Book! :)

Call me maybe?

I’m Fighting for My Freedom Using Outdated Technology The antiquated technology we use hinders our ability to work with our lawyers and file appeals.

"Inside New Jersey State Prison, it’s like 1985, where we rely on out-of-date word processors, electric typewriters and floppy disks that are going extinct in the free world."

Being kind in an otherwise unkind world requires so much courage. Please keep holding on.

When we design and develop and create, we shouldn’t forget the human side of things because that’s what it means to live alongside each other in this world.

To further that, we also mustn’t forget our own humanity.

#Accessibility #a11y

Accessibility isn’t only compliance or conformance; it isn’t just acknowledging and considering the various needs of different types of people. It is about being kind, first and foremost.

Instead of thinking of the “user”, we need to view them as people and not statistics or engagement.

These thoughts, these powerful thoughts, came over me.”

—Wataru Iwasaki, “What It Means To Live“

From the Hobonichi 5-Year Techō Daily Quotes translated: www.mojidoori.com/daily/

“They put me on the stretcher and lifted me up. The moment we got outside the house, I saw it. The sky. The stunning blue sky.

“I’m living under this breathtaking blue sky!” I thought to myself. “The sky is one piece of this whole big world. And here, right in the middle of it all, I’m alive!”

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

Hi all. I wrote a bit about my father, who died suddenly on June 30. It is also about the real possibility of change against illusions of perpetuity, and what data can and cannot do for remembering what is unsaid. mail.cyberneticforests.com/my-fathers-d...

Hey! Presents · What do you see? In this talk, Lola explores what it means to deconstruct an image and radically centre screen-reader users, using alt-text as an art space. How can we create an experience for screen-reader users that is just as creative and considered as the sighted experience?

In May I got to give my most favourite talk What Do You See: Alt-Text as an Artistic Medium at @heypresents.com Hey! All Day
