We are on ULP strike. We gave #NYTimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Who's up for getting one of my Art stickers? All I ask is that you let me know when the envelope arrives.
Together we can share a little joy, and collect data on USPS delivery times.
How it works:
1. You sign up
2. I mail a sticker to you
3. You tell me when it arrives

Folk might be interested to know that across the month of May, Sustainable Fashion Week’s #MendItMay campaign invites people to mend one piece of clothing, celebrating repair as an act of empowerment.
I think I'll have a go at my #mending pile. If anyone wants to share mending projects or #craft pics, that'd be lovely.
The stats for why #repair is great are pretty compelling:
Do you have thoughts on what "critical data visualization" means? Or what it means to do it?
We are holding a special issue of computer graphics and applications (CG&A) to make space for work that answers these questions and/or that challenges vis norms. Send us papers on methods, practices, practicalities, or just your positions on critical vis!
Paper deadline October 31. Please reach out if you have questions!
