@wellerstein eh, that's a cop out. If you of all people aren't going to be critical about representations of nuclear history, who is?
@AnnaNReser I think it's a fairly complex little piece of cultural work if I do say so myself. I do put thought into these things.

@wellerstein I see what you're getting at - it's a good impulse I just don't think you can overcome the banality of the calendar format. -
@AnnaNReser My major efforts are always about riding that line, because it's the only way anything gets beyond academic circles. -
@wellerstein no objection to your intent here. Just as a design person, I think the calendar form works against your purpose. -
@wellerstein the form itself is about being noncontroversial and pleasing to look at. -
@AnnaNReser@wellerstein sorry to butt in but I too blinked @ the calendar medium. I had more of an issue w fetishism than contextualization -

@AnnaNReser@wellerstein calendars often fetishize bodies & equating the image of nuclear weapons w this platform is troubling -
@leilasedai@AnnaNReser That's an interesting association — the calendars I see are never about bodies, but it may be the circles I run in. -
