Learn with Disabled BIPOC Teachers on Free CripCamp Webinars

The Crip Camp documentary celebrates a hippie-run summer camp where many disabled people discovered the power of crip community. Audio-described trailer at the end.

As a follow-on, the producers are running the Crip Camp Official Virtual Experience.

Ninety minute online seminars on Sunday afternoons through the end of August, featuring disability justice leaders from all over the US. They’re foregrounding black, indigenous, and people of color. (Commonly abbreviated BIPOC, which I initially read as "bisexual")

The Zoom presentations will have ASL and captioning, and you can address other access needs on the sign up form.

There's an accompanying private Facebook group, too.

poll: Adobe Photoshop Camera App Makes Me Both Old and Young

Adobe figured out how to market to The Youth: deploy that ubiquitous generic word that is actually their trademarked brand and make it into a free camera.

Photoshop Camera app for iOS and Android

The business model is selling storage on Creative Cloud, and since you’re here anyway, can we interest you in every possible graphic design tool?

Built-in "AI" filters optimize portraits, selfies, landscapes, and food. Also pop art, Billie Eilish Blōhsh, celestial skies, Pride spectra and many many more. Totally Instagram-ready.

I used Photoshop 1.0 when I worked at a desktop publishing service bureau in 1990. That was fully thirty years ago which breaks my brain.

As this selfie shows, the Photoshop Camera filters rewind me to 2000, showing a lightly-wrinkled white woman wearing a coral hoodie, thick glasses, and COVID-copious randomly-curling short pepper-and-salt brown hair.

My hair is a big shift, as I’ve been barbering sleekly short since age 23. What do you think of the longer look?
