Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]

No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.

Vote! I just finished my first batch of Vote Forward letters to encourage voter turnout. You can do this, too! Go to votefwd.org and receive instructions on how to send hand-written letters to voters giving them a list of the candidates on their local ballot and encouraging them to vote. #vote #democracy #civic #CivicDuty #election #vote2024 #turnOutTheVote #RockTheVote #VoterTurnout #RegisterToVote #RegisterAndVote

Revised version of **Creating a city for all of us: a role for the Fediverse in archiving civic urban memory**. Accepted to Digital Society journal, so should be published fairly soon I hope.

I discuss the Fediverse as a solution to civically owned urban memory archives. I use Mastodon as an example to highlight a few key tech challenges as well as to illustrate moderation approaches.
