@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.

.@wellerstein @AnnaNReser just walk down the aisle at barnes&noble, firefighters, football chererleaders, pinups, &tc

@leilasedai @AnnaNReser There they are things like puppies and babies and foreign lands.

@wellerstein and you don't see how putting nukes in that vocabulary trivializes them or worse- naturalizes them? Makes them banal?
