I donated blood last week and just received this extremely cursed image in a follow-up email.

Smiling older man in a jacket holding a box near a white van. Text says "Where did my blood go?"

We launched a big, new feature at @fontawesome.com today that I helped with — but I also got to take @figma.com Motion for a spin to promote it too! fontawesome.com/icons/wizard

Radar picked up something unnaturally fast over western Michigan. Thankfully I was able to snap a pic as it passed through my office 🛸

DCS UFO keycaps on a light blue KBDfans Agar (an HHKB-style 60% keyboard). Motion blur was added to make it look like it's zooming over my desk!

✏️ Another big lift was finally getting the lovely new set @vicbell.bsky.social made for us out the door. For all your sketches, blueprints, post-its, and other icon needs! (I also wrote the intro text which was a hoot) fontawesome.com/icons/packs/...

A big no. 2 pencil labeled GRAPHITE on top of a grid of Font Awesome Graphite icons

Pencils down, class.

Did you know that the word "pencil" comes from the Latin for "little tail"? Well now you do, because Icon University is in session with FA Graphite. If you require a hand-drawn, academic, or erasable vibe, Professor Vic Bell is here with a Pack that's sketchy in all the right ways. Enroll your project today!

‪Now that it has variants, I’m thinking of bringing chunkicons.com over to @penpot.app Any Penpot heads out there? Would that be interesting for y’all?
