It's almost #FollowFriday.
The day to showcase great accounts on here that others should follow too.
(You do follow all the accounts I recommend, don't you! *shakes finger*)
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.
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.
Continued thread
Also highly recommend checking out the book #DesignJustice by @schock if you're interested in learning more about this topic
The news from global politics isn’t promising, but we can respond by dedicating ourselves to what we believe in. Costanza Chock’s Design Justice offers essential guidelines. Let’s work towards a fairer, more inclusive future. @schockolatl @mitpress

, I'd like you to meet:
Professor @KathAlbury is a #researcher #academic at #Swinburne, part of @adms (full disclosure: I @admin the server that the ADMS account is on). Her ADMS projects focus on the development of data capability and capacity in #NFP organisations, and data #ethics and speculative #DesignJustice in the field of #SexTech. 
If you're into #DesignJustice,
you may also like the work of @schock.
@blasbenito is a #DataScience and #AgTch #GIS #researcher and #PhD in computational #ecology

Finished reading and so so love this #book!
As leader in global open community, it provides great insights about policies/guidelines that hopes to cover global/universal practices and accessibilities…
“Recognize, respect and specify differences”
“#designjustice values insights that are developed through open dialogue, empathy and the live experience from communities that will be most affected by the designed object or system”
First book this year is #designjustice by @schock, loving every minute and words! #book #community
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."

Mastodon AustraliaBellingenNSW (@Bellingen@mastodon.au)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."

@mhayesgolding @edutooters For designing learning in a classroom (aka, #teaching), say a college-level math course, there is the MAA Instructional Practices Guide:
https://maa.org/programs-and-communities/curriculum%20resources/instructional-practices-guide
For #PhysicsEd, the Physport site: https://www.physport.org/
Metaphors & principles are useful for #LearningDesign, like "If Math Is The Aspirin, Then How Do You Create The Headache?"https://danmeyer.substack.com/p/if-math-is-the-aspirin-then-how-do
Some newer stuff: affective context model https://youtu.be/9lR1Fwqt0G8?feature=shared & #DesignJustice https://er.educause.edu/articles/2020/10/inclusive-design-and-design-justice-strategies-to-shape-our-classes-and-communities

Interested in how design can be used to help (or harm) marginalised groups? So are we!
Next Tuesday 26/9, 1-2pm, it's the next online meeting of #DesignJustice North.

it may surprise and amaze you that female crash test dummies do not exist (see Criado Perez's book Invisible Women).
now Astrid Linder at VTI has developed the "world's first average-sized female crash test dummy"
#design #DesignJustice

www.vti.seFirst female crash test dummy displayed at VTIHere they are. The world’s first average-sized female crash test dummy. And Professor Astrid Linder, a world-leading road safety researcher who spent 20 years developing the dummy. The objective is for women to have the same protection as men in a collision.

So we are taking a data #feminist and #DesignJustice lens to developing Curbcut Toronto further, and we wrote about that for #Limits this year. https://limits.pubpub.org/pub/iw8v1y2m/release/1

So important
AND that part of this question needs to include a deep questioning about how we see and understand differences. (Jonathan Crary Techniques of the Observer; Kittler’s Gramophone, Daston + Galison’s Objectivity) & why #DesignJustice principals rock in my mind:
Una ayudita para encontrar comunidades en el #fediverso: ¿nos recomendáis cuentas del ámbito de los #derechosdigitales, #inteligenciaartificial y #DDHH para seguir?
