Layouts I Love | Spacing 72. @spacingstore The Spacing Store in Toronto is a love-letter shop to local artists, writers, and designers. There should be an outpost in every neighbourhood.

Genuine curiosity, what's your favorite magazine growing up, and what if any is your favourite now?

I've come completely full circle. My favorite blogs are generally ones that recommend things. And now I'm just reading magazines again, which are just blogs that recommend things next to sponsored content. But with better layouts.

The Beast in Me is my favourite kind of thriller: tense, violent, psychologically fascinating. The show’s title cards, designed by @arccreative_us, pair perfectly. Fast, unsettling simplicity. #layoutsilove #thebeastinme #tv #thriller #typography

Azure magazine, Dec 2025 After several hours of walking through the impressive 50th annual ooak show, I spotted a stack of Azure magazines on the table near the exit. #layoutsilove #azuremagazine #print #design

Vogue Hombre, December 2025 (www.vogue.mx/moda/vogue-h...) If you’re ever bored by the look and feel of some magazines, I beg you to just look around at other parts of the world. They’re still having fun out there. #layoutsilove #vogue #fashion #cocktails

Hanako’s January issue is cat-themed. The whole thing is just about cats. It’s amazing. #layoutsilove #layouts #cats

I began my first Hobonichi Techo journal this year. It came with a little booklet that shows how you can use it. Just a couple tips and tricks. The front page states exactly like how I’d like to begin this series: “You loving yourself. That’s probably a good start.” #layoutsilove

Starting next year, I'll be doing something different with my socials. I'm going to share more stuff with my friends and family directly, and instead will push out stuff I love in the world of layout design. I hope you like it. 📖 Photo credit: unsplash.com/photos/a-per...

My movies of the year roundup ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/28/s...

Here's everything I worked on personally this year. Special shoutout to all the guests of the International Object pod 💖🤼 ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/23/s...

For my newsletter today, I discussed my "pivot to video", what it has meant for my workload, why I think it was worth it, and if I think other writers and podcasters should dabble with video It also explains why I haven't been posting newsletter articles recently www.burnsnotice.com/the-pivot-to...

My first yearly reading log: books, magazines, stats, and a blogroll, all in one: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/12/s...

I stand by this @backloggd.com

Good morning. I've written up my yearly game log. If you follow me on backloggd, you've seen most of these notes. It's nice to have it all in one place: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/08/s... TL:DR: 46 games played, some even from this year for once!

Most of the time it's annoying that Scrivener shows up as a "game" on discord, but it's sort of cute that it won in a landslide

I wonder how it feels to write something pithy on Twitter in 2017, then see it as a screenshot on Instagram forever

It's funny, I feel like I'm never here. And yet... I was quite online this year on Bluesky, with a total of 290 active days. My longest break was 5 days. My most active month was January. See how online or offline you were this year here: anisota.net/harvest

I could see this turning both of them babyface, though.

Only wrestling fans know this little secret, Heel/Heel matches like Okada vs PAC are the best wrestling matches.

I'm an extremely impressive hacker (installed OnionOS once)

I’ve found these gift guides to be very helpful in finding gifts for others, and, perhaps more useful, finding things to ask for myself. ksawyerpaul.com/2025/12/01/g...

ksawyerpaul.com/2025/11/28/h... I'm going to try to do a monthly log of my favourite stories going forward

A question I'd like @brandon.insertcredit.com to answer on @insertcredit.com sometime: were you, as I was, disappointed when megabonk turned out to not be a new Bonk game

screams

I bought it on Switch 2 like a dork immediately

Last night, I finished the first draft on a long article about AI. I have a blog where I could publish it, but I wonder if I shouldn't pitch it to a few places. I think it's a good take.

Hell's yeah on this show

Going to tell my kids, this was "May I ask for One Final Thing?"

This goal feels good to finally check off

This also works if you "split" your monitor horizontally between two inputs. If the view becomes taller than wide, Windows will start snapping vertically. It's neat.

Having a pretty great Sunday, just reading articles I've been saving for a while. When I was in college, an app project I made was an Instapaper-style read-later thing called Sunday that worked only on your rest day. I still...kind of use read later apps like that?

love these choices #yakuzalikeadragon

Mikey and I had a great chat about apologizing for purchases, the iPhone Air, storage tiers, and how family accounts might be the stickiest thing companies make. You Chose Poorly: ksawyerpaul.com/2025/11/11/y... #podcasts

One day I'd love to work on something as typographically bold as a Yakuza game

Now you know who to thank / blame. 🎃

Wrapped up Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentina. For some reason I loved hanging out with Clair the most

the Zohran campaign goes to show how much your local DSA chapter can accomplish if they start watching wrestling

Big day for people who care about other people

This felt good. I'm annoyingly weak to Luke players #streetfjghter6

hey uhhh maybe don't

Ontarians usually spend the week before daylight savings complaining about its existence, but everyone was so underslept from watching baseball that one hour made no difference

I think sports teams should always be owned by the municipalities they play in, rather than by billionaires & corporations who take advantage of local pride while basically acting as parasites. I'd care if a team owned by a Canadian city had lost. I just don't care that a team owned by Rogers lost.

At least Drake is sad.

it just goes to show you, anything is possible if you have billions of dollars

Let's say you're a freak/very regular internet person who has YouTube, Instagram, blue sky, etc. Are you following the same people on each one?

Take this, add roguelike buffs in between each inning, and let the player romance or curse the characters.

Part of being on blue sky is sometimes going through your follows for people who were cool but sometimes yelled into the void about US politics who became people who *only* yell into the void about US politics and maybe cutting them from the roster.
