A LOT of people out there saying "I don't like what's going on but a boycott will hurt tipped servers" and "I'm super mad about all this but putting up a protest sticker/flyer seems too radical" and folks, I cannot. *fyi, buy-nothing day tomorrow focuses on big chains. Use cash @ small businesses

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

I'm not breathing a sigh of relief. This chaos and confusion is standard operating procedure under a Trump presidency. Until we learn more, it certainly reads like Trump is plowing ahead with his plans that will crash the economy and make communities suffer.

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze. That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

How many female graphic designers can you name? The only ones my memory can conjure are Ellen Lupton or Paula Scher, and that's only because they are so influential you can't ignore them. This is a great book to fill up that gap with some great less known humans. #DesignHistory
