  Baked cake, fathered, stocked shelves, and read a bit in the latest Experimental Jetset, Statement and Counterstatement 2. From the remixed quotes section: In short, we came across many examples of activism being inspired by archivism, and archivism being inspired by activism. This really made us aware of these twin notions – the archived activity and the activated archive. (Quotation magazine, 2019)

  RE: https://typo.social/@glintveinlina/116520856933333104 I kept track of last month’s notable type releases for @typetodaynews and could have easily selected some more good work.

  Gardening mirroring life. Every time I visit my garden I am shocked by the green chaos that took over since last time, and after doing some work I leave with a neat little bouquet.

  What a day. Today I learnt: - According to statistical data, the ideal age gap between siblings is three or four years - The ‘mix’ axis in Polymode by @jesseragan and @benkiel can be understood as a display of Realness - If workshops are being offered in a niche market offering advice on how to get rich, then that market is saturated - Beautiful graphic design doesn’t sell copies. #fontstandcon2026

  Finally, I have come to terms with the fact that I draw the way I do. For years, you’d never catch me without a notebook and a pen. At some point, I stopped because of the pressure I put on myself. I felt increasingly awkward around bystanders and friends who – or so I thought – expected me to draw pretty or witty things. I began to hate my drawings, and drawing itself, to the point of disgust. But now enough time has passed, I think, and I’m happy to report that I enjoy drawing again.

  According to ‘Dunbar’s number’, people can maintain stable and meaningful relationships with 150 others (including pets?). I’ve just finished reviewing well over 150 entries for the #tdc72 competition. Phew. At least two handfuls of fonts that I used to hang out with must have vanished from my memory. I wonder who they are.
