Paperposts, 10 months ago to poetry

hi all #vispo, #concretePoetry and #poetry folk. I have a column set up to show me posts on visual poetry etc. And it's gone pretty quiet. Except for a few fabulous regulars like:
@JPK_elmediat (and @JPK_elmediat )
@scearley
@LauraKerrArt
@jshb32

Anyone got any tips to pull more in, or folk to follow - what's another good hashtag to add? so far it's this:

I feel like this should be plastered across every laptop and computer. Maybe in the form of a void if removed label.

Scrappy iphone pic, but a beautiful early dawn sight this morning of the Moon and Venus over Mt Diablo

another high drama #sunrise over the bay this morning. Check out that #marinelayer

panoramic view of sunrise over the San Rafael, Richmond bridge. With a thin strip of golden dawn light trapped between a dark foreground and brooding, heavy marine layer cloud.

A quality piece of pavement #lettering found in Larkspur, CA.
Think it's dilbert in #cursive #script, but could say Lilbert, but never heard that before

Looks like I'm not the only one who admires their pup.

If anyone recognises this dog/person from Rodeo beach, Marin, please let them know I have this pic and to reach out if they want a high res copy.

came across this vision of the future by Dwiggins: The Five Hundred Years: A Time Problem (1941)

looking forward to a "century of awakening", but hope the "machine horde" doesn't get us first.

Words on signs and displays are dangerous. The wrong kerning, bad spacing or odd sizing can cause all kinds of horrors. And certain words like 'exchange' can be tricky when paired with others, but without a doubt the most dangerous is 'analytics' or 'analysis'. Especially when used by the unaware on makeshift displays.
Never ever ever use folding displays, like this.

I know #itunes or Apple Music has always been a shitshow from a UX perspective, but wtf, don't take away 'search in my library' and just search the entire music catalogue. Also, FFS #Apple - only one woman across these genres, you sure about that.

Anyone got any recommendations for a non subscription alternative to Adobe Lightroom (Mac), don't mind paying for it but not forever - ideally with some kind of import?
