Ugly by Anna Ginsburg

posted July 9, 2019 #

Despite the fact that I currently work at Vimeo, I don't really spend much time perusing the site or seeing original works that creators are putting out there. Fortunately, I was able to stumble upon Ugly, an animation from Anna Ginsburg that kind of blew my mind. While I can't claim to understand the tribulations of the female experience, I can appreciate the swirling, morphing, textured and immersive piece that pulls from a number of different cultures of style. It's rather beautiful for a piece entitled the opposite.

This headline is very misleading. Garth talked about Gaines as recently as June of 2019. He says its not an era he plans to revisit but it's clear he wasn't off base with Gaines, it just wasn't something his audience was expecting. https://t.co/XwCzUxflHi https://t.co/p9cvezHH5a

Teardrops

Yuuki Matthews is a member of The Shins, Sufjan Stevens and Teardrops. That last one is a collaborative project between Matthews and the late, great Richard Swift. The self-titled album is now available on Bandcamp and other streaming services soon.

If you're into this (and you should be), also check out Swift's Instruments of Science & Technology pseudonym. It's similar but only oin the broadest sense (i.e. it's not the lo-fi R&B or slick pop songs that Swift was also known for).

It's been a year since Swift passed and music continues to be released that he had a part in.

Take some time to peruse the offerings of Memphis, TN designers Pretty Useful. They've got a number of posters, patches and pins worth having a look at. I don't buy near as many pins as I did a few years ago but that's not going to stop me from heavily appreciating a tasteful Pizza Abduction Pin (that also glows in the dark). And every city should be so lucky as to have a pin like this Memphis pin to show off their pride for their area code.

Register 2 Vote Registration Map

posted July 8, 2019 #

I recently caught a tweet from one of my favorite musicians, Matt Oliver, who (apparently) also side gigs as a developer and activist. Aside from this fact making me enjoy his output even more, he pointed me towards a project called the Register 2 Vote Registration Map.

In short, the project is a cross pollination of public data that allows you to drill down into your specific state, county and district to see the number of folks who have not registered to vote.

This information is fascinating but they don't stop there. The overall initiative of Register 2 Vote takes the pains out of voter registration. You submit your name and address and they'll send you a voter registration form all filled out with postage, you just need to sign it and drop it in a mailbox.

If you're already registered to vote, you can donate to their cause to help pay for the included postage in getting more folks registered. This can be a direct benefit to your community:

For whatever dollar amount you choose to contribute, our automated system will mail the number of registrations to residents in that region, and our system updates the map's funding completion status. That way, you can follow the impact you're making!

There's more specifics in the FAQ but, all and all, this is a wonderful idea.

Mad was still profitable. 150k copies sold monthly in 2018, according to Comichron. That makes it one of the top sellers in comicdom! But that's not profitable enough for ATT. They want hundreds of millions from their subsidiaries.
