@StateRepHong Let’s just call it was it is. Wisconsin is an apartheid state.

These maps dilute the power of Black communities in WI, which experts believe violates the Voting Rights Act. This was a nakedly political decision by SCOWI. It is beyond clear that the conservatives on the court have endorsed an undemocratic & unrepresentative map.

Lack of gender equity for the busiest restrooms at #chicagounionstation. Line clear out the door for women. Clear sailing for men. Just convert the men’s side to women’s on this floor and direct men elsewhere.

@AlexDicksonDC 💯

Uh ..... architecture.

@coopercooperco Best logo by a mile.

Important question:

Thanks to recent breakthroughs in flex-fuel technology dead pedestrians can now be fed directly into the gas tank.

@settern On point as usual.

Mistyped “puns and needling” when I meant “pins and needles,” so I guess my week’s off to a prickly start

@BrentToderian Without comment

If these trucks were literally designed to deliberately increase the likelihood of hitting pedestrians, and to maximize the likelihood of killing any pedestrian they hit, I don’t think they would be designed much differently.

@demiurgently What’s a good word for “instantiate”?

the worst lab leak in history was when English departments exposed undergrads to the word "liminal"

@Stewart_T Peachy. Our plan to tip the 🌏 🌎 🌍 off its axis seems to be gaining traction. See you in the asteroid ☄️ belt. I’ll be mining Mewantium for princess ivanka.

@Stewart_T Happy birthday, Stewart

@CristinaGoberna Will McDonough speaking on ecological architecture and Giuseppe Mazzone’s (now at University of Notre Dame) defense of his dissertation, “Geometry of Faith.” Spontaneous standing ovations for both. Haven’t seen such an outpouring before or since.

Because of "urban renewal" & highway construction, Boston's West End—one of those neighborhoods where the hope of America’s “melting pot” perhaps came the closest to fruition as it ever would—was entirely razed; its dense streets replaced with parking lots for suburban commuters.

Please forgive me for quoting anonymously from this extraordinary student. But, it made my day and I wanted to share. Thanks and Happy MLK Day. youtube.com/watch?v=anWx36…

"My work prioritizes uplifting people and their communities, without uprooting them or disregarding their narratives. I will keep equity and inclusion at the core of each project my name is attached to."

A ray of light to brighten your MLK Day weekend: a statement of intent for grad school in architecture that is the best I have ever read: "Architecture can be a messy practice with history rooted in inauspicious ideas, designs, and constructions that can create barriers." 1
