NOT THE “SOCIETY” GRAPHIC AGAIN. i cried laughing at this once already (2023 maybe?) #graphicdesignismypassion

someone please share the spicy meatballs from the townhall at #chi2025

i’m so sorry. usually, the @acm-sigchi.bsky.social @chi.acm.org social media chairs are obliged notify the equity chairs (or whatever they are called now), if they’re not already monitoring social media themselves. year over year, it’s hard to know who’s doing what. session chairs need to be better.

two pokemon plushies: one is a small version of Blissey, and the other is a medium-sized Chansey. for some reason, chansey’s egg is kind of yellowish.

my associates,,,, they would like a word.

oops i had to scrub my posts because i forgot bluesky isn’t private. sorry if i replied to you and it disappeared!!!

it *should* be a standard part of what session chairs ask presenters: what name should i use, how do i address you, etc etc. it’s so basic and this is disappointing.

i love the questions that are like, “why didn’t you do something completely different?”

This is important, please help the spread of this correct information.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
