The 33 Project

Hello hello. Greetings from Canada! We’re up in Toronto spreading Tourlami far and wide. So far, so good. We also took a yoga class with puppies last night. Really living our best lives.

Onto this week’s recs:

1/ This is a pretty cool project!

“Alt text selfie” is an open term. Our understanding of what an alt text selfie might be is always shifting and changing. Selfies and self-descriptions are often visually focused, but, to us, an alt text selfie doesn't need to center around visuals, or literally describe an image. As the selfies gathered on this website exemplify, alt text selfies can blend smell, taste, touch, sound, and more. At their core, alt text selfies are an access practice, tools for connecting across sensory experiences and distance.

It makes me rethink the alt text I add to our Tourlami posts each time we share something on instagram!

2/ Loved this! “The Semi-Sadistic 7-minute Workout” by Alison Bechdel.

3/ If you’re interested in any sort of money-talk as it pertains to Hollywood and movie-making, this is a great episode of The Town.

It’s really interesting to hear these guys talk through the breakdown of where and how money is raised and where and how money is spent to make big scale films.

That’s all for today. Thanks as always for reading and sharing! Send this to someone you think might find it interesting.
