Iftar Table Fillers.

Ah, really no blog for the wicked. Recently, those visiting this site will probably have noticed the slowdown in my pace of blogging.

This is mainly due to work-related reasons and the beginning of a new semester.

So, without further ado, I am going to post todays excuse: The Ramadan Gifts made for my favourite Student Social Network.

Some of these might seem familiar… maybe under different names, though. I've been learning a lot of turkish through these.

How these were produced will have to remain a mystery. Most people like their icons done in Photoshop, which is a great tool for most things, however I wanted to be able to scale these. So I made them in the other programme. Lots of fun, especially the research for these, as described in the post "Meat and Feces" from a couple of weeks ago.

It has, by now been described as "9/11 in slow motion". Someone else broke a golden editorial rule to describe it as "2008 on crack". Media outlets, including Youtube, have warned of the long-term effects of this, on civil rights, labour and employment, surveillance and press freedom. And some, most notably Mr Orban of Hungary, have used this excellent opportunity to pass new, restrictive legislation that concentrates power in their hands. There have been calls for the elusive COVID cure not to be patented. And yet… And yet… It's easy to lose yourself in a media bubble, following the news and media 24/7, following, queuing in line to get into expensive shops, just walking into discount stores and the constant desire for many drinks (preferably with 10 friends or more, in a park...

IGAF: Disappearing the inconvenient.

This IGAF (Is Goodness a Fashion) series explores, from a non-expert point of view, the social, economic and narrative ramifications I see developing from the COVID-19 crisis, worries, but also hopes for a future that the current shock to the system may result in. It's a pity that random things happen when random people interact. That a person might be exposed to unexpected, or unpleasant sights when they leave the house. That we might see trash, homeless people, the effects of gentrification, closed stores in polluted streets, trees withered by mercurial weather, people in environmental suits, afraid of the diseases lurking within the safe confines of those suits. The world divided into those who have to face the streets, the Outside, and those who are safe Inside. It's a pity that these still interact. Our measure as a species that claims moral, ethical and intellectual hegemony over this planet will be two-fold as we deal with the COVID-19 crisis: On the one hand, socie...
