Thousands of families, including their children, comb through landfills searching for anything that they can sell every day.

Millions of homeless people search garbage bins looking for anything that can be sold to recycling facilities to afford a meal that day.

But "landfill mining" isn't profitable for the industries, extracting from virgin earth on protected native land is. 🙄🙄🙄

A very young @neilhimself in Rio de Janeiro in 2001 in one of the comic magazines I donated to the library. First time I went to a signing in my life. Second was Eisner, third was Manara. Good times!

I have been experimenting with Canva's AI features these last few days to do things like erasing elements and adding others to the image but it's still very green. The most useful so far is the tool that allows editing subject and background on an image. #Adobe went after #Canva with Express, but it clearly shucks.

I have also made some Reels with Microsoft's Clipchamp and the voice over feature using text to voice has really surprised me.

For #caturday we have Five filling my new work desk with fur before it even gets assembled. We tried to get him off the top plank, he just switched to the other pile with a "what? I moved!" face.

Quora totally doing @darkpatterns bullshit when you try to unsubscribe.

To the spam filter they go. #darkux #darkpattern

My daughter just discovered in practice that pitaya (dragon fruit) is a great natural source for pink pigment because it stained absolutely EVERYTHING.
