The lost typography of Amsterdam, collected by Arno Verweij on https://www.amsterdamtypography.nl
Although all of this is gone, If you ever go to Amsterdam, it still pays off to pay attention to all the typography. Not just on shop signs but also on bridges and doors and buildings and the sides of the canals, the famous Amsterdammetjes and much, much more. It's a treasure trove.

The finished sponge sitting my open hand, viewed from a corner; a red, orange, and yellow face are each visible, with central cavities in shadow where the connecting tunnels recede into the center of the shape. It’s about four inches on a side and at least roughly cubic.
To the surprise of absolutely no one. Done over 12/31 and 1/1; full build thread here: https://mastodon.social/@joshmil...
A million little problems with it but it went according to overall plan and that's pretty delightful. There will likely be a larger, more carefully executed version at some point with more squared-offness to it, but doing a proof of concept where I didn't slow myself down by worrying about tidiness felt really valuable.

You are committed to the bit. And I love it.

Me in a jacket with a hood pulled over my head. It has that sort of fake fur around the edges and the fake fur is being blown back. I'm wearing a brown wool scarf. I have very rosy cheeks and something approximating a smile. I am outside. It's sunny and the sky is a bright blue.
Was heckin' windy out today. Got a nearly two mile walk in today despite the several inches of snow last night. Did a pleasant NYE with neighbors, last night, learned a new card game, ate some delicious food. Was home by 10, and in bed by 11:30. Grateful for you nerds.
Happy new year, friend.
What was the new card game? HNY!
you look fantastic, what a great selfie!!!
Grateful for you!

That’s proper winter gear, looks like a nice day for a walk.
@Xedrik It's called Five Crowns. Sort of a rummy variant. Longer than I might prefer but otherwise a good time and I'd play it again.
AH SUPER! Also jealous of the parka I'm trying to get a new one at some point
HNY!
HNY!
Happy New Year, Jessamyn!
@poorusher This one was some fancyish brand but it was in the thrift store because the zipper broke. I traded zipper repair for some computer help and pew pew.
@jessamyn I love Five Crowns! It's the only game my dad will play.
@jessamyn everything about that statement is excellent! HNY!

Noah, your dad is right and you should just accept the shame and shortsightedness.
@owl 💯
“Second place is also you for that stupid hat”
@BennyTheIcepick Noah is young so we should have a little grace in that regard. But yeah, real bad.
In my town we say "all hat and no cattle."

A white metal water bottle sits on a wood table amongst lush greenery under a blue sky. The water bottle has stickers including a glow in the dark smiling ghost, a rainbow “DEI,” R5-D4’s head, “hot Gonk summer,” and “Kriff The Patriarchy.”
Most of the stickers are from https://www.etsy.com/shop...

I’m dog sitting Jackson for 6 months. He’s actually a cat and licks his paws all the time, especially with the salted sidewalks. He cleans them so thoroughly, with his teeth, that he sometimes makes wounds. Those then need more cleaning and gnawing. And then, sigh, it’s cone time again…
He doesn’t mind wearing it but it feels kinda like a punishment. On this last day of the year I decided to be a true ally and also wear the cone of shame.

I have advocated for years that we call it the Cone of Bravery. Road salt burns widdle paws!
We had a bout of paw-licking with our pooch. Turned out to be allergies. He now gets shots regularly which has helped immensely.
Ha, that's hilarious. And also very kind
We saw a pup yesterday wearing a surgery onesie! It was adorable and seemed pretty effective, but I can’t imagine how potty time worked.
Cones never worked for our pup, so we found an inflatable donut that would bounce off of obstacles but keep her from licking wounds.
AKA the Donut of Indignity
... just needs a tophat

Teen bluegrass prodigies perform on stage, from left to right: bass, banjo, guitar, mandolin, violin
Going to see these kids play tonight. My son's been playing in saxophone quartets with the Sullivan girls for the last 6 years. Their dad is a saxophone professor at NU, and their mom is also a pro sax player, so they've been expertly coached. My kid currently plays in high school jazz band with the banjo player. I just learned recently that they moonlight as a very successful bluegrass band! I'm excited to hear them shred.

I've spent some time this week scanning old photos and loading them to Flickr. I thought I'd share this one of my Dutch stepmother feeding a dolphin at the Jack Evans' Pet Porpoise Pool, or Dolphin Oceanarium, at the Snapper Rocks Sea Baths in Coolangatta, Queensland in 1965. (Queenslanders on here likely know of this spot.)
She's 20 years old in this picture. This is less than 1 year away from meeting my widowed father who, a year later, gave her a 2 year old (me) as a wedding gift. We haven't always had the best relationship but she's mellowed in her older years and we're pretty cool now. She turned 80 last November, so I'm preparing myself, however she's pretty active and astute so I think she'll likely outlive me!

At first glance, prior to reading your wonderful caption I thought this was Taylor Swift.
Awww, what a nice pic and a story.

A pen-and-ink illustration; against a sky with two suns, a bikini-ed Princess Leia, holding a blaster, rides an ornately tacked lizard creature.

The words “New Year, New Ewe” are separated (top to bottom) by a drawing of a white, wooly sheep giving birth. The baby lamb is just poking out of the vaginal opening with its head and front legs visible. The lamb is wearing a blue and yellow striped party hat and seemed to be blowing on a noise-maker.
Happy New Year to this beloved collection of kindred spirits. I send much love from this cranky, curmudgenous soul to wherever you are in the world.
NSFW because of sheep’s hood-haw/fanny.
Ace Ventura intensifies
illustrated sheep hoo-ha is the best thing of 2026 so far

2 middle aged men in a crowd of people, all of whom are bundled up against cold weather cold. It is a bright, clear, winter day on the beach. One of the men wears a blue cap that says "Coney Island Polar Bear Club"
Went to the Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge with my friend Howard again this year. Much colder than the last few years we've gone — mid 20s and super windy. Took a long time for my toes to wake back up, but still hella fun.
A CBS reporter interviewed me just before I went in and after I came out. Pretty sure I was speaking in tongues as I tried to dry off so I don't expect any airtime.

@dad they represent the gulf between OPs commitment to pickles and their commitment to catsup.
