I love doing jail support because it feels like an efficient and powerful use of my care. All I have do is get some supplies, coordinate with a friend to meet downtown, and show up ready to be kind. Suddenly I’m making a massive impact on people’s lives at a critical moment, completely autonomously.

PDX: If you've been wanting to get more involved in jail support, but aren't sure how to start, this event is for you! Flyer downloads available here ↓

New font for sale!

NABOUVEAU is an art nouveau typeface inspired by the planet and people of Naboo.

crowntype.com/nabouveau/

Carved in wood: "NABOUVEAU." Below, painted on lush maroon curtains: "Art nouveau for a galaxy far, far away...." The text is then repeated in in the Naboo Futhork alphabet.

Bow to fascists all you want but as I said, do it outside of my replies. You’re not welcome there.

Replying to me via another social network is block evasion.

Sometimes I spend a fair amount of time making something and I realize I didn’t even show anyone. So here’s one of those things:

It’s crazy that Alan Dye had no experience with UI before being thrust into a position of power over platform design, affecting millions of apps. He has a responsibility to the industry. Platform design should be way more comprehensive and far less restrictive than this.

I will write a proper blog post about this later but consider this a soft-launch.

I sincerely hope it helps. That game is so... so difficult to understand and I just really, really want it to be easier to play.

Doesn’t feel ironic to me. I’m a single person, not a multi-trillion dollar company. I don’t have the same responsibilities they do. I think you know that.

I mean what kind of designer can’t be bothered to have a website they create on their own?? 👀
