I see we're talking about Jeff Bezos again and so I'd like to repost one of my favorite political education tools: the (short!) Twine game "You Are Jeff Bezos"

taking its cue from Kafka, you wake up one morning transformed into a monstrous vermin, by which I mean, Jeff Bezos. The only way to cure this awful curse? Spend all his fucking money.

So I'm sure you're all familiar with the UN projection of the Earth that puts the Arctic at the center and shows all the land, but let me present to you the inverse of that, the Spilhaus projection, which centers the map on Antarctica and shows the world's ocean as the single, continuous mass of water that it is.

So this is why people are talking about Adobe. Get off that ecosystem and start using Serif's Affinity programs, now. No subscription bullshit. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/7/20904030/adobe-venezuela-photoshop-behance-us-sanctions

Dysphoria

From the article (published before the ads were rolled out): "Even if someone flinches because they think I am a man buying tampons, the idea that people assume all women bleed and men do not adds to the stigma transgender people face all the time."

I feel sorry for the trans writer they decided to parade around to show off how ~inclusive~ they are. I hope they got paid.
