Code Tapestries
Description: Nuclear Code: Only You Can Prevent a Convicted Felon From Having the Nuclear Codes — A black-and-white illustration of a hand pointing directly at the viewer evokes the iconic Uncle Sam recruitment posters, stirring a sense of urgency and personal responsibility. Below the hand, bold text reads, "Only You Can Prevent a Convicted Felon From Having the Nuclear Codes," emphasizing the power of individuals in the voting process. The image suggests that voters hold the responsibility to stop a 34-time convicted felon from accessing the immense power of the American Presidency, including control over nuclear codes. It’s a stark reminder of the importance of informed voting and the critical stakes in safeguarding national security
Description: The "Never gonna give you up" QR code T-shirt features a minimalist design with a prominent QR code on the front. When scanned, the QR code redirects to the "Rickroll" music video, adding a playful and nostalgic twist to the classic internet prank. The shirt is made of comfortable cotton and is a fun way to share the iconic Rick Astley meme in a tangible, wearable form.
Description: Rongorongo is the script of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). More-famous for its megalithic Mo'ai heads, Rapa Nui has its share of Polynesian mysteries, and Rongorongo is one of the most enigmatic. The origins of these glyphs are unknown, and if it turns out that Rongorongo was a pre-colonial script, it would be one of the only independent inventions of writing in known human history, unseen elsewhere in the Pacific or South America. Only a handful of priests could ever read the glyphs, and most of these indigenous elite were killed in the Peruvian slaving raids of the 1800s and the subsequent disease epidemics that all but wiped out the indigenous islanders. The tragedy and the loss inflicted cannot be adequately comprehended.
