I feel like more people need to read William Morris’s “Useful Work versus Useless Toil.” The drive to reduce all labor to a series of mindless tasks is soul destroying. Reclaiming labor as something that can be nourishing, that is the source of art and not its enemy.

Finally unrolled the prints from @skeuomorph.bsky.social@elikaortega.bsky.social wonderful quote: "There is nothing more ephemeral than a website." Keep it handy for next time someone talks about websites as if they were forever-things!

A hand printed poster that reads "There is nothing more ephemeral than a website - Élika Ortega" with the logo for Skeumorph press (an old diskette) in the bottom left, and an old computer in a cabinet in the middle of the image. Ephemeral and Website are printed in red, the rest is in black.

ENSINAMENTO

Minha mãe achava estudo
a coisa mais fina do mundo.
Não é.
A coisa mais fina do mundo é o sentimento.
Aquele dia de noite, o pai fazendo serão,
ela falou comigo:
‘coitado, até essa hora no serviço pesado’.
Arrumou pão e café, deixou tacho no fogo com água quente.
Não me falou em amor.
Essa palavra de luxo.

~Adélia Prado
A TEACHING

My mother considered study
the finest thing in the world.
It’s not. 
The finest thing in the world is feeling.
That day, at night, dad doing overtime,
she said to me:
“Poor thing, still doing heavy work.”
Fixed bread and coffee, left pot on the stove with hot water.
Didn’t speak of love.
This luxury word.

~Adélia Prado, tr. Carlos A. Pittella
