Designing for people with dyscalculia and low numeracy – Design in government

We believe in working in the open. This blog is for designers across government to share their projects, ideas and concepts, or just to think out loud.

Update: got my basic reactor built, but still need to get more uranium for the turbine & heat exchanger! I also started setting up a city-wide power grid (but only made enough Ultimate cables for three buildings so far. 😬) #Minecraft

It's Thursday, so that means group play on the Civic Tech Minecraft Server! Send me a message if you'd like to join! I'll be on around 6:30PM ET.

Tonight I'm hoping to mine enough uranium to get started on our town's reactor build!

Sorry for bringing this over from birdsite, but my partner just flagged this for me. Florida's new Congressman had his application for a DC apartment denied. This is the system at work. #racism #poverty

Hey everyone, I'm going to move this account officially over to @krusynth in the next day or so. Just a heads-up that it might not go smoothly, so if you don't hear from me in a day or two you can find me over there!

A reminder that the National Defense Authorization Act #NDAA is an annual US law which spits in the face of the democratic process, and primarily exists to shovel unpopular legislation through the process under the nose of the public and most legislators.

Congress should ban rider bills altogether, but this multi-thousand-page dumpster fire is a disgrace.

Hey everyone,

@demandprogress is urging members of the House to vote NO on the #NDAA today because of a Trojan horse "Judicial Security" bill that's really internet censorship for info about federal judges.

UPDATE: the Senate vote is next week. Tell them no on the NDAA unless the judicial security bill is removed. 202-224-3121. (We lost in the House).

Washington DC voted to make its bus system fare-free, starting July 1. This is big...the first major US city to make their bus service completely free, and hopefully will serve as an example to other bus services around the nation. This makes the busses available not only to the middle class but also to the very poor who can't afford transit...in other words, greater equity. (EDIT: I found out Kansas City has been free for 2 years. My apologies to them.) #transit #bus #PublicTransit
