Oblique Drawing
Who knew, sometimes, inaccurate drawings are actually more helpful! Robin Sloan writes about the fun and function of oblique drawings.
Lipogram
Lipogram, a literary piece in which one letter of the alphabet is intentionally avoided. The ultimate challenge is skipping over common letters — like Ernest Vincent Wright’s novel Gadsby, which has 50,000 words but not a single ‘E’ to be found.

Elite projection is the belief, among relatively fortunate and influential people, that what those people find convenient or attractive is good for the society as a whole.
