Today in campus news. 6 flock cameras too many on our not overly large campus. Contract money that could be going to any number of other things to support students and faculty.
Close up detail of university report on number of flock cameras on campus.

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

Floofy spiders do not concern themselves with grading. Especially not for 200 whole students. Ergo, my post ac plan is to be a floofy spider that can avoid being squashed by people scared of spiders.
A drawing of the world’s floofiest and best spider who will surely avoid being squashed. In black marker.

Sexy slab serifs. I love everything about this.
Close up view of the kerning and serifs between an uppercase H and N. The space forms an excellent rectangle highlighting the excellence of the exemplar slab serif lettering.
