  1. RE: mastodon.ml/@vint/116088750764

    Here's my hot take: UPPER CASE LABELS in any sort of medium, except code, are just fine. One might want to make a group name or a short title with whatever quirks they put in. This is especially the *case* with design that uses it, because glyphs might differentiate in height once you add a lower case letter, making it look wavy, while pure CAPS just slide off from each other. There is barely any need to compromise author's stylistic choice, and reproducing is as easy as copy-pasting the thing.

  2. 'I don’t think an opinion adhering to institutional conventions can be considered an “unpopular take.” Positioning it as unpopular masks a common opinion as marginalised. This type of perception skewing is reminiscent of Christian conservatives claiming God-fearing values are under attack despite Christianity dominating every echelon of American society.'
