"Every minute of every day now, you’re interacting with letterforms that someone drew, someone designed, someone made decisions about..." We asked Sara Soskolne, Executive Creative Director at Monotype what she wishes people understood about typeface design: bit.ly/4jkkdzR

We’re surrounded by letters created by the human hand, and this “micro-nerdery” is what makes the viewer feel something

Haven’t clicked through yet (this is my bookmark for later!) but I love everything about this, from the contest existing at all to Nat not only telling us about it but talking to the winner and sharing that.

Two good cats need a home somewhere in the northeast US (they are NYC metro but current guardian is willing to drive them pretty much anywhere they can be safe and happy). If you have the space and the inclination, please reach out.

Your reminder that the English Beat icon "Beat Girl" is a transgender woman named Brigitte Bond from a photo of her dancing with ska musician Prince Buster at Heathrow in 1964 and none of us will be as cool as she was.

With all the easy grifting these days, it’s prime time for psychic surgery to make a comeback. Nobody’s out there extracting organs without breaking the skin, and I bet there’s a market for it.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

As you may know, I end all of my countdown videos with a handful of bloopers, and sometimes it's hard to find enough mistakes to HAHAHAHAHA*wheeze*HAHAHA yeahhh no. All bloopers, all the time. The latest episode of the '90s Alternative Countdown is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJDV...

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

@officialsuper7.bsky.social is releasing new versions of old Micronauts figures, and while the actual toy doesn’t quite get there, the package art makes Phobos look like some kind of Robo-Babadook

Some days it feels unthinkably cruel that pre- pandemic and work-from-home, I used to leave my cats alone to fend for themselves for 8-10 hours a day.

Of all the things I encountered in my time hanging out with the body modification community, “injecting saline into one’s scrotum to inflate it” was pretty low on the list as far as expecting Fox News to cover it like it’s a good/normal thing and then all kinds of people discussing it openly

Any mention of traumatic Sesame Street skits means the return of the Opera-singing Orange, which would send me running from the room. I still get a frisson of panic when she hits the high note AND HER FACE FLIES OFF www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Tq...

I’ve been a fan of @misterreusch.bsky.social for years after first seeing his artwork in the Boston Phoenix. There’s a ton of other cool stuff at his Etsy shop, but I’ve been waiting for this comic since he first announced it. Go check it out!

This thread addresses a very specific instance of the “separate the art from the artist?” debate and is worth a read if you’re thinking about it today in particular

This person is insanely talented and after watching the video below, I recommend going to her Instagram and watching all the animated shorts as an alternative/antidote to doomscrolling (all the art is fantastic, but the stop-motion stuff is non-stop joy) www.instagram.com/beeragon

TIL (via their e-newsletter) that Grant Morrison has a strict "don't kill animals in videogames unless they start shit first" rule. In a game where it halted progress, "[I] was willing to sacrifice a few dart pouches & jungle outfits to keep my vow never to kill any digital deer or other ungulates"

Not made specifically for me, but this is my small collection of @theuglymachine.bsky.social’s work. Absolutely beautiful stuff, if I’m ever in a place to commission myself or anyone I love some quality metalwork I know who I’m calling
