Happy #halloween! My 2018 #costume unites garbage and #gold. "Gilded Guardian" is made of garbage cans, but modest materials gain dignity by #design. Inspiration: #gilded #architecture #samurai #armor. 15 years of costumes bit.ly/1LAnvHm #halloweencostume #halloween2018

Happy #halloween! My 2019 #costume "Red Evolution" imagines animal superpowers made human by #design. But it's actually made of watering cans. 16 years of costumes bit.ly/33bqlAo #kentanabehalloween #halloweencostume #halloween2019 #biotech #zoology #exosuit

Our team is heartbroken by continued racial injustice against black Americans. We need solidarity, justice, change. We also need love & community. They give us strength. We hope #LovingDay can be a space for affirmation & joy when we need it most. #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloyd

Tried a grocery delivery service during the #COVID19 #pandemic. Some of it came in these insulated bags. They became the main ingredient for my #halloween #costume. I call it “Silver Delivery.” Details & 16 more: bit.ly/2HN8nOT #halloween2020 #design #kentanabehalloween

Today is Loving Day. I started it in 2004, hoping it would be meaningful to others. Couldn’t have imagined 2021: #lovingday trending (3rd time), virtual events, articles in USA Today, NPR, even Star Trek's site. If you've supported, thank you. New site at LovingDay.org

Happy #halloween! Imagine pouring water, freezing it in time, and applying it to the human form. You might get my 18th #costume, which I’m calling "Aquamarine Beams." See my other 17 costumes & the Halloween Rules that inspire them all at bit.ly/3msgLoT #halloween2021

Talking about the connections between being a design leader and my community work on Loving Day on the Optimistic Design podcast. Thank you to host Wilma Lam and Substantial for having me. #lovingday #design

For this #Halloween #costume, I wondered: could artificial life develop real emotions? And if it was part of our daily lives, could it become decorative? If so, you might get the "Green Weeper." Other costumes and my “Halloween Rules” at bit.ly/3zASaVp #Halloween2022

Today is Loving Day, just 56 years since the Loving v. Virginia decision struck down laws against interracial marriage in the US. Grateful for all the global #lovingday community and volunteers have done since the project launched in 2004 lovingday.org
