Mein Frage am Donnerstag an ihn war übrigens: “Do you feel better today than you did yesterday?”

Klare Antwort: “No!”

“Let’s not white-wash (ha!) this. We are truly fucked.” —Mike Monteiro, How To Fight Fascism

“As designers, we need to fulfill our missions of being gatekeepers. Your job is to improve the world for everyone, not just those in power. When you are asked to work on something that can marginalize people, you must stop. When you are asked to come up with solutions that tighten the grip of fascism on your community, you must stop. And not just move over so that someone else can take the oar, it is your responsibility as a designer to make sure that work never sees that light of day. Even if that means throwing your body across the gears of fascism. This is the job. This is what you signed up for.”
