Tomorrow is Geeks & Nerds for Harris, a free livestream hosted by @RealLyndaCarter bringing fandoms together in support of Kamala Harris. I don't know if anyone is planning to show up in a costume, but if they do, I want you to think about the work that goes into costuming. 🧵

This gives the costume dept a digital rendering, which they use to play around with the proportions of the costume, so all the details come out right (as agreed upon in the concept art). They also use this data to create a 3D mold of the person's body (like a dress form or dummy)

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

It's abundantly apparent when your biking or walking somewhere whether anyone thought about your needs in the PUBLIC SPACE or whether you were an afterthought that was given the barest minimum after designing the PUBLIC SPACE for cars. Streets should be for people not just cars.

How often do you hear “speed was not a factor” in a crash? They mean the driver wasn’t exceeding the (probably too high) speed limit. Remember, when it comes to the likelihood that vehicle crashes will occur, & whether the consequences are deadly or not, SPEED IS ALWAYS A FACTOR.

This Day in Labor History: May 18, 1979. A jury found for Karen Silkwood’s estate in her plutonium exposure case. Unfortunately, she had died in a car accident five years earlier that was likely a murder orchestrated by her employer enraged by her exposing their toxic legacy!!!

Instead of asking me why I keep spilling water on your chair, perhaps you should ask yourself why you keep putting your water right where I need to stand
