So often, women’s safety is framed as personal responsibility: be careful, stay alert, don’t go alone.

But CindyUp asks a better question: why do we keep asking women to adapt to unsafe environments instead of redesigning the environments themselves?

Innovation can be care. Sometimes, it glows under UV light.

Design isn’t neutral — it’s decisive.

On Brave UX, we talked about something subtle but critical: how poor typography in election ballots can lead to real-world confusion.

This clip from the episode has been quietly resonating — thanks to Brendan Jarvis for surfacing this moment.

No one signed the denial. No one made the decision. But the harm arrived anyway.

First up I want to make a shout out to @tylerdckey a very wonderful human.

You can find them involved in #Regen #ComplexSystems #BodyBuilding #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #FirstNationsJustice

All around excellent human who literally just joined Mastodon tonight!

Second up @mollie. Mollie is a fellow #Designer based in #KaurnaCountry and also does excellent work in similar areas #ClimateJustice #DesignJustice #FirstNations #Environment

Mollie recently designed a very cool Tee for @sa4forests, poke the SA4Forests crew if you wanna see a pic! :P

They've also been doing excellent work on the SavetheMurry campaign in SA.

Like many designers Mollie is a fan of #Typography #GraphicDesign, Im sure they'll do a better intro than this soon, but you wont see it if you dont follow em.

While 'warrior tech bros' are apparently all the rage, we'll need a different kind of technologist if we want to survive as a species and inhabit a livable world. We'll need #DesignJustice.

Our practice is rooted in the belief that design is a form of activism. We want all the projects we undertake—whether #art, #design or #architecture— to reflect our commitment to #veganism, #socialjustice, and #sustainability. If you or anyone you know needs design services, our team would love to help transform your ideals into reality.

Designers Against Genocide: A Statement of Solidarity for the Liberation of #Palestine.
"We are unequivocally against Islamophobia, anti-semitism, racism, and the willful persecution of people. We understand that no state government is representative of a faith tradition.
We can not be designers who stay disconnected from brutal war crimes while claiming to operate from a space of empathy when we design for spaces, technology and interfaces."

OK, so got an online design jam coming up 16th-18th November, exploring intersection of design justice, community centred/civic service design and GLAM data.

Sound interesting? Know people who'd be interested?

Our state of denial of the role of cars
The normalisation of crashes must stop Pt.2

"These policies have promoted car-based infrastructure and urban sprawl. Public transport and active transport such as walking and cycling have been neglected.
Children are the victims of our obsession with allowing heavy, fast-moving vehicles in our everyday spaces, including around schools.

The freedom of car drivers comes at the expense of the freedom of all others. At the same time, the environment and society bear most of the costs of this car culture.
It’s essentially a form of victim blaming. Instead of reducing the source of violence, we tell everybody to be more careful around it.

We need to recognise that the car threatens children’s safety and their right to independently roam public spaces. This directly threatens their long-term health and wellbeing.

Car drivers’ rights are not more important than children’s rights to be safe on our streets. The interests of those who oppose measures such as reduced car parking or lower speed limits should not be more important than our children’s wellbeing. No benefit of a pro-car policy can be greater than the benefit of children’s active presence in public spaces, where they have a right to be imperfect and distracted."

Our state of denial of the role of cars
The normalisation of crashes must stop Pt 1

"Our children are victims of road violence. We need to talk about the deadly norms of car use

The deaths and injuries caused by car drivers are an everyday occurrence. This road violence has become normalised. We take it for granted as the price we have to pay to use our cars.

Globally, car crashes are the world’s leading cause of death for people aged five to 25. In Australia, road deaths included 293 people in this age group in 2022, a rise from 281 in 2019 and 276 in 2018.
These deaths are stark reminders of the structural problem with a deeply entrenched, car-dominated culture. The huge numbers of deaths and injuries on our roads are a result of choosing to build our society around cars. This degree of harm does not seem to draw the same level of outrage as any other form of violence would."
