Wearer of many masks.. and hats.

I love GIFs, emojis, rituals, elegant words, a habitable planet, books, scripted TV, history podcasts & well-designed everything.

Estoy aprendiendo un poco de español para poder cantar junto con Benito.

Jean-Cannes-Noux, my nom de plume, is a play on the old Jamaican tradition of Jonkanoo (Junkanoo, John Canoe, John Kanu) - one of my favorite cultural “collective joy” celebrations, as discussed in the book DANCING IN THE STREETS.

This seems like important news
"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...
Cheese Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in 25-Year Study
One of the finest foods available to humanity may carry an unexpected benefit.

This can include your grocery & store runs, especially Costco, Sam’s Club, BJ’s.

I’ll never understand why people in a doctor’s office, dentist or pharmacy aren’t wearing masks for their own protection.

Get a mask you like and wear it. Often.
Repeat after me:

I will wear a N95 respirator as I travel in shared indoor spaces (healthcare facilities, airports, public restrooms, mall, etc)

I will not visit anyone upon feeling ANY symptoms indicating possible infection (e.g., tiredness, headache).

I will test.

Air purifiers are my friend.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

The price we pay as a society for the majority of UX/UI designers making things “more dynamic,” or gameification.
This shit is really dumb.

Who asked for this?

Who wants to stare at infinite layers of translucent apps & notifications on a tiny screen?

Caucasity
85% of CEOs are white men.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

Here’s something good instead: in New Orleans we were talking to some locals who told us about their favorite restaurants and I was thinking how great all of the diversity of local accents and fun local cuisine across the U.S. is. What a big beautiful country we have here. It belongs to all of us.

Right before falling asleep, the kiddo looked me square in the eye and said “National Aeronautics and Space Administration — that’s what NASA means. For *everything* in outer space.”

That’s right, kid. Per aspera ✨

"I didn’t have the courage to come out until I was 21, and that means 21 years of pain, 21 years of unwavering homesickness that only went away when I was able to get the care that I needed. And my biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that pain.”

That this was even up for debate is disgusting. I’m so ashamed.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

This is the sustainable outlook for any institution, any profession (even, dare I say it, any professional) - to be driven by values.
From my own niche: institutions of higher education should stop chasing trends, work internally to assert a set of values, and then build curriculum around those values.
just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

If Disney was going to do a movie centered on the villain of a beloved Disney franchise... it should have been Ursula.

Nobody gives a fuck about Gaston.
