H*gley has absolutely abandoned any pretense that they aren& #39;t...fucking evil. Even though only like 10 people read their t*mblr I think this might be one of the evilest mobilizations of "digital humanities" I& #39;ve ever seen

I was going to add a paragraph from Lead Wars on the ILZRO, "research arm" of the lead industry as the lawsuits rolled in, or maybe a reminder of why RI is important to lead activism, but this bit is more fun & timely

I too am very interested in chemical company test houses as tools for political mobilization! This might actually be my most core research interest. Here& #39;s Marc Harrison& #39;s "Universal Design" house as it appears in "Lead Program Review" minutes, as "Industrialized Housing" rsrch

The project as it was presented in (I believe) Lead Newsletter: "The availability of lumber, for instance, has become a major problem due to insufficiency of land reserves, particularly in Asian countries."/"designed for factory-built mass production anywhere in the world."

Here, in 1979, Popular Science. I& #39;ll have to see when (where, and for whom) the "universal design" narrative of this house even emerged. Note the "steel/foam sandwich panels," possibly related to the sandwich panels Alden Dow developed in Michigan #page/1/mode/1up">http://digital.hagley.org/islandora/object/islandora:2345178 #page/1/mode/1up">https://digital.hagley.org/islandora...
