Please consider signing this open letter if you are an UvA alumni. Police violence at universities is not only a matter of standing on the wrong side of history, but also an authoritarian attack on political liberties and the possibility of a genuinely democratic public sphere.

Great to be back on Victoria Embankment and walk past my old friend, and favourite example of how men vs women are depicted in statues: man, real historical figure, literally just a head because he’s so brainy; woman: mythical, fawning, forgot to get dressed

I'm looking for tangram shapes for an interaction experiment, but it is somehow incredibly hard to find a good set! Does anyone know a good repository? 🙏🙏
