🏡 Window Swap

Let’s face it. We are all stuck indoors. And it’s going to be a while till we travel again. Window Swap is here to fill that deep void in our wanderlust hearts by allowing us to look through someone else’s window, somewhere in the world, for a while.

🕹 LEGO NES

In this video you’ll learn more about the upcoming LEGO NES, that’s actually (sort of) playable too.


🔥 Fyris Island

A new identity for Iceland’s national soccer teams, based on the country’s four familiar (?) guardian spirits: a dragon, an eagle, a bull and a giant. Complete with epic promo video. Pretty cool, although I cannot unsee the Dutch NS-logo 😬

🎶 DJ Jazzy Jeff + MICK: Summertime 2020

Play this when you’re in the mood for some retro, soulful, cool out, bbq eating, suntan getting, beach chair sitting, rosé drinking, two miles an hour, so everybody can see you music. (Via Sanne)

🗺 Zo maken kaarten in de media ons onbewust negatiever over migranten

[🇳🇱 In Dutch] Erg interessant artikel over het ontwerp van kaarten in de media en wat kleuren en pijlen (on)bewust voor beeld schetst van migranten. (Via Halfvet)



Zo maken kaarten in de media ons onbewust negatiever over migranten - De Correspondent

Of het nu De Correspondent, de Bosatlas of de NOS is: migratie over de Middellandse Zee wordt op kaarten afgebeeld als dikke, rode pijlen die op ons afkomen. Die pijlen bepalen – terwijl we dat nauwelijks doorhebben – ons beeld van migratie. Kan dat anders? 


That’s it for this issue. See you next week!
