all my tweets are about wearing nice little outfits — fair wages to buy nice outfits — housing to store those outfits — free healthcare so you can wear outfits — dealing with climate change so you can wear cool jackets — walkable cities so people can admire your outfits

Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

This is Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia librarian who began taping whatever was on television from 1975 until her death in 2012. She made a total of 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes, which is the most comprehensive collection of television during this era. She was able to pay for her recordings and storage space by investing early in Apple stock. Although she had never sent a single email, she managed to convince her friends and family to purchase Apple stock. Towards the end of her life, she had made so much money that she was able to store her tapes in nine apartments she had purchased over the years. According to film director Matt Wolf, Marion Stokes "was interested in access to information, documenting media, making sure people had the information they needed to make good decisions." Due to her political activism in her early years, Stokes was convinced that the government was keeping surveillance on her every move, and she became extremely cautious about her recordings. She had every right to be paranoid as she lived through the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in 1985, in which the FBI and Philadelphia police used a helicopter to drop bombs during an armed standoff with MOVE members. The bombs started a fire that eventually destroyed 61 houses and killed 11 people. Her work is currently being digitized by the Internet Archive, a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

Enzo Mari | 5. One of Mari's most influential design projects was Autoprogettazione, a 1974 book of instructions on how to make chairs and other pieces of wooden furniture. His aim was to encourage the public to learn more about design and making. instagram.com/p/Crkc9Sgop15/

Want to know why your high street is full of shops that have been empty for years? It's not always because nobody wants to fill them. Here's a real life example of what we've gone through trying to get into one in Hillsborough, Sheffield (so far - the search is ongoing!)...

this semester i tried a radical thing where i made every single deadline flexible for my college writing students. every single one! no "i almost died" note required. the policy is that if they aren't going to meet the deadline, they just propose an alternate one. i bet this...
