I did the funny. The author often writes very short paragraphs, so I just used pilcrows to get rid of all the raggedness and save paper. Elastic space before the pilcrow, similar to an old print I have, because I didn't want to set up font expansion for a Fraktur. #typography

Tapestry in the museum in Middleburg, from the late 16th century. The pieces depict Dutch rebellion as a historical description, all done by the artists in about 3 years per piece. I looked at them for a long time, the level of detail is absurd.

You are not undisciplined. Drawing IS more boring than doomscrolling. Forcing yourself to draw WILL make you hate it! Instead manipulate the environment around you so that your sketchbook is the most fun thing is the room. Then you will either die from boredom or pick it up.

Poor thing from 1741 has water damage and probably lost its original cover due to that but still opens flatter than all modern prints I have held. The inside border is ever so slightly outside the bend presenting about the easiest to read page. #bookdesign

I made a book mockup, to test a cover layout with, with my 3D printer. It is only thin walls with the cover draped over—which I immediately found issues with. Super cheap and accurate, but I might borrow the A3 printer at work on occasion spare some cutting and combining.

I tried to copy the original print by just typing it into LibreOffice. That went fairly well up to the line with a large space (it separates thoughts, I think pilcrows were used before that time). I stared at it, and I think they used narrower cut letters (a, h, n, m)? to get the space. #typography

👇"the thing that alarms me most…when an AI pretends empathy, when it uses the first person, when it says, “I hear you, I see you,” or even worse, “We are going to do something together. We are going to work on this.” People…start to feel…there’s a there there, even though there’s not a there there"

I randomly found this with some warping from moisture and a new cover, and decided to buy it for 50€ as a collectible. I'll see if I can find part 2, it might be missing or look very different. It is a German Bible from 1741 with the Hebrew and Greek text, commentary and some other stuff.

I have ordered a test print of a book I typeset. The author is still editing, but I just wanted to hold something in my hands and 20€ for 920 page print was fine, now I wait 12d. This was a teaching project for me, I wanted to find out if I want to do it occasionally for people. Current answer: Yes.

The news came through that expected rationing of motor oil in the USA has begun, since significant refinery capacity for lubricant bases is out of order since months. I decided to order some, the change is due in some time anyway, and I get to not worry about blowing up the motor for two years.

Part 1/2 of a 6-panel SMBC comic update. Two men are hiking in the woods with large backpacks. One asks "why do you think society in star trek is so peaceful?" The second answers "post-scarcity." When the first man asks if the second meant no worries about money, the second man explains with a hopeful smile : "no, they're post-scarcity on murder. Every time you get someone to use the teleporter, you are killing them. Imagine the peace of mind from knowing that if you don’t like someone they will almost certainly be killed later the same day."Part 2/2 of a 6-panel SMBC comic update. The second man keeps explaining his theory about transporters: "how could you not be happy? How could you not fan out into the galaxy, searching for ever more enemies to murder?" The first man, uneasy, says "I never thought of the transporter problem as a positive benefit." The first man corrects him: "transporter SOLUTION."

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in the hallway of their apartment building, negotiating over a butterfly sitting on the ceiling.
Blue: You could climb on me and get the butterfly with the jar, right?
Green: Sure.

Climbing on Blue's shoulders, Green pushes the jar up towards the butterfly.
Green: Almost there... Why did they put the hallway ceilings so high up?

Caught off-guard, Blue and Green both freeze in place as a neighbour appears.
Green: Oh, hello neighbour. Just doing some bug rescue.
Neighbour fox: Ah, I see.

Back in their own apartment, Blue and Green release the butterfly from their balcony. Blue frowns in frustration.
Blue: Why do we only bump into neighbours when we're doing something weird?
Green: Fate?
