@ShutUpMeg91 Has it really been that long????

[Angi Viper 🔜 C2E2 @AngiViper]

@mortalken is my cosplay dad forever and I love him and I’m so grateful for his friendship and support

[Kᴇɴ Hᴀᴢʟᴇᴛᴛ @mortalken]

Always an absolute delight to get to see brilliant costumer and fun cosplay pal @AngiViper … and she was at @comicconla 2024 as a judge for the entertaining and well-produced Cosplay National Championship! So proud of our wonderful talented friend and fellow cosplay creator.

Just so people reading this know:

When you have covid, you exhale covid particles into the air. Even with just ordinary breathing.

Those particles can then float on the air for hours.

Defending exploitation of garment workers because you are also exploited is not class consciousness nor is it solidarity.

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

“Most clothes should cost way more than we’re used to in order to pay laborers fairly” and “some people can not afford to pay more for clothes” are connected facts that boil down to: people need to be paid more.

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

The thing about couture gowns is that they’re not just beautiful on the outside, they also have internal structure meant to support and sometimes shape the body wearing it. You’re not supposed to need anything else. No bra, no corset, no shapewear. The dress does the work.

Prime Day is a good day to remember that while Amazon was fined just $7,000 for dangerous conditions that caused an Amazon worker to die in Indiana, Jeff Bezos became $1.6 billion richer YESTERDAY & Amazon made $30 billion in profits last year.

Every Amazon worker needs a union.

There should’ve been systems and plans in place since Katrina on a state and federal level. Not profit driven plans, but life saving one’s. Where the disabled, incarcerated, homeless, poor and working class are provided for. Not left to live or die from the kindness of strangers.

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

Public transportation via bus systems, trains, hell even school busses should be used to get people out! It’s a sick society and system that’ll allow people to die if they don’t have the money to survive, while not making sure people have living wages to begin with.

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

Considering how many times our tax dollars have bailed out airlines, they should be flying people away from natural disasters for free. Nobody should be paying American, Delta, Southwest or whoever for a flight out. They definitely shouldn’t be able to price gouge tickets!

And suddenly everything, everywhere starts to look the same.

Absolute neutrality. No detail. No identity.

What does that say about us?

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

So when small m minimalism has become the social default for everything from benches & bollards to skyscrapers & national assemblies....

We have a reduction ad absurdum of cultural aesthetics:

Somebody might not like a detail (read: character) so there can be no details.

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

What I'm talking about is unconscious, small m minimalism.

Which has become the social default for seemingly every design choice, whether architectural or corporate or anything else.

It is a troubling phenomenon because of what minimalism represents: a lack of detail.

The Danger of Minimalist Design

(& the death of detail)

A short thread...

@DHLGlobal @DHLUS Forgot to attach my receipts which the service rep I spoke to seemed unable to access since he kept insisting this was my first delivery attempt and was confused why I was having an issue. @DHLGlobal @DHLUS

[Angi Viper 🔜 C2E2 @AngiViper]

@DHLGlobal @DHLUS might be the worst shipping service I’ve ever had to deal with. I just spent an hour on the phone with an absolutely useless customer service rep who repeatedly put me on hold to recite back the same tracking information I can read on the website. Read on:

[Angi Viper 🔜 C2E2 @AngiViper]

I had to ask THREE TIMES AND BE OUT ON HOLD to find out how many delivery attempts will be made before returning to sender. How is this acceptable customer service? The person I spoke to seemed confused by the most basic questions. @DHLGlobal @DHLUS do better
