in 1890, white supremacists met to design Mississippi’s constitution, with stated goal of excluding Black people.
So they set up a list of specific felonies for which you’d lost right to vote for life: only felonies they thought Black people would be likelier to be convicted of.
Wondering what’s happening at Design System Day 2023?
We’ve published the programme including all the speakers, panellists and workshops you can hear from, speak with and get involved in. There’s so much going on!

RustConf has a strong Covid policy. Between that and retaining a remote option (with some extras just for them), I've been very impressed. https://t.co/5iqDxAzBA7
Very excited about this - I'll be talking about open spaces and the benefits of structure, with a grounding in some painful lessons.
I hope you can join! The conference is running in-person and virtually.
Catch @ElizAyer @ #RustConf on Sept 14th, 2023 (in Albuquerque, NM and online)!

Friends, these events are no joke! please prioritize your safety if you're in the path of this unique west coast storm. Hurricanes are true monsters, if you've never experienced one please take extra time to think it through. They are really not a joke. #HurricaneHilary
Something good but easy to miss happened: LA got permission from HUD to relax identification requirements for unhoused people seeking housing. It's a small but important change that will make housing people easier.
