People don’t like to think that the call is coming from inside the house. Ask me how I know! I get it; it’s a very uncomfortable and creepy feeling. But you gotta face it and deal with it! Not blame the person who in all good faith is trying to warn you 🤦‍♀️

Prisonculture: “So many people got yelled at for months on here when they correctly pointed out that Gavin Newsom was a rat.”

The name of the typeface’s original designer, Tobias Frere-Jones, does not appear once here. That (to put it mildly) is bonkers. www.creativeboom.com/resources/th...

I can be kind of a snob about blizzards, but I’d say this qualifies.

Two orange dogs with semi-rigid ears and wedge-shaped faces, chest-deep in the snow. The dog on the left wears orange-framed goggles, a rainbow puffer coat, and a red fleece undersweater. The dog on the right wears a navy-blue winter coat.

The timeline feels exceptionally heavy these days, friends. At least it feels that way to me. For a bit of lightness, enjoy this picture of my dog Happy.

My dog Happy, who has to wear a cone until her corneal injury heals, just used the cone to scoop a breakfast taco up off the street, and then used the cone as a sort of plate from which to eat the taco 🤨

I rarely post images of text, especially when they come from Vichy Twitter, but this one feels *deeply* personal for me. This is a word.

A tweet from Louise Rose (March 5, 2017) that reads: “My rule of thumb in life is to listen to the women that men are trying to shut up. Therein lies the truth”

Yes, I linked to the brilliant Lit Hub piece skewering the NYT and then immediately shared this NYT piece on Cuomo. My dislike of Cuomo eclipses even my dislike of the NYT.

“This is in keeping with Mr. Cuomo’s supersize sense of entitlement, which manifests itself not just in his resentment that sexual assault allegations ended his governorship and insinuation that anyone else in the governor’s office is an inferior, but also in the way he repeatedly demonstrates without an iota of self-awareness that he is owed political power and authority. Apparently, he thinks it’s something you can inherit from your father.”

A little graphic made using the Mamdani sign generator that says “FOOD FOR EVERYONE.” The word “FOOD” is in the Mamdani flare serif face whose name I don’t know; the word “FOR” is in a casual brush script; the word “EVERYONE” is in a sans that I should be able to ID but cannot off the top of my head. Royal blue background; reversed out letters in gold; the word “FOOD“ has a red shadow.

Obviously I’m talking about everyday informal handwriting here, *not* calligraphy, which sadly I have never had the requisite patience to learn.

A closeup (macro) photo of some handwriting on lined paper, in which you can vaguely spot the names/words “Excoffon,” “Ganeau,” “typography,” “approach.” The writing doesn’t really stay within the lines.

I really miss reliable weather information written by humans.

From my weather app today: “Humid; a morning shower followed by showers and a heavier thunderstorm this afternoon; storms can bring downpours, damaging winds *and even an isolated tornado*.” (My emphasis.)

Oh god even the OED is all ✨✨✨

Index page for the Oxford English Dictionary. Main element is a dictionary search field under the label “OED | Oxford English Dictionary.” Secondary menu at top right consists of four elements: (1) an information button, (2) an account button, (3) an advanced search option, and (4) a sparkly AI Search Assistant button. Ugh.

No wonder my dog Tulip is so out of sorts. He can sense storms across immense swaths of time and space.

I’ve only ever taken a picture of one, and that was in northern Minnesota. I’ve never seen one in NYC, but I’m sure we must have some somewhere.

“AI spam is eating the internet, stealing our work, and destroying discoverability.” Missed this when it came out in January; reading it now with interest. www.404media.co/why-404-medi...

It arrived 😌 Very much looking forward to reading @eireannmor.bsky.social’s Pattern-book.

A copy of Éireann Lorsung’s Pattern-book. The title “Pattern-book“ is stacked and repeated 13 times, negative leading, set in what looks to me, surprisingly, like Ascender’s HeiT ASC. (?) The author’s name appears below this stack, along with the publisher, Carcanet Poetry. The background is navy blue and all text appears in warm shades of red, pink, violet.

Through an odd set of circumstances, I somehow ended up adopting a feral dog from Bangalore, India. She has a similar body shape and also smiles broadly.

Friendly reminder that “inequality” and “inequity” are not interchangeable terms. Inequity is avoidable, material, structural; inequality refers to an uneven distribution of resources due to circumstances largely beyond our control.
