"When governments remove anchor institutions such as the Science Centre from low-income areas, they deprive children of what they deserve: a safe, real-life space to expand their understanding of the world and their place in it."

@alexposadzki Yes!

[Imprint @uwimprint]

Thrilled for my friend and colleague @tryingtotype whose sharp eye for data caught this massive disparity between tenants and landlords in what should be a universally accessible means of justice. So well deserved!

"On the heels of Artscape’s collapse, it’s important to understand how this magical thinking was deeply disconnected from the organizational, policy, and real-estate reality in which we all exist." https://t.co/wSkXHemLBT

the obduracy, rapacity, & sheer animal cunning of cool teens insulting adults as they go by

[Tahmeed Shafiq @tryingtotype]

For a small fee, I will read your enemy's exhaustive investigative journalism and ask "but why is this newsworthy?"

[Tahmeed Shafiq @tryingtotype]

@sorayaroberts I looked over my shoulder at the end and saw an overwhelmingly white audience. Easily the best punchline
