I don’t even need to caption this. Head over to @coolcatcollective.bsky.social if you’re interested (how dare you even THINK about passing up this oppurrrrtunity?!?! What are you, a dog person?) #zines #catsofbluesky #zinesters #cutandpaste

Hard at work today on my artist book project for the Hand Bookbinders of CA members exhibition, opening in May at the American Bookbinders Museum. A handful of us are creating work incorporating the Castro flag, which proudly waves over the Castro neighborhood in SF.

“Musk’s lieutenants wanted more control over the USPS than DeJoy was willing to allow, a source familiar with the matter says.” ➡️ DeJoy resigns as PMG: time.com/7271271/loui...

Thanks @marc-fischer.bsky.social, Half Letter Press, and the Temporary Services gang! I’m a fan of all your publications, and these postcards really hit the spot!

It’s a very good Friday. #pinksprinkles #donuts #donutsrulewverythingaroundme

Re-appreciating this gem of a catalog from the exhibition “Ray Johnson: Painting and Collage 1950-66” at the Craig Starr Gallery last year. A (2024) birthday gift from @nonarchival.bsky.social. #mailart #collage #moticos #rayjohnson #goodmailday

New project afoot in the studio, a new artist book underway for Hand Bookbinders of California’s upcoming exhibition.

A (hilarious) combination of “Choose Your Own Adventure”and the inherant power of naming things. Plus: I love that MapQuest is having a moment! gulfof.mapquest.com

Wrapping up the Year of the Snake Lunar New Year edition this weekend — taking far longer than planned, due to additional perforation and rubber stamping.

Valentine’s Day at @strandbookstore.bsky.social —> a couple weeks ago when I was visiting NYC, but super adorable as a photo post today!

GAH. So many beautiful collage zines and postcard sets at @nonmachinable.com right now! shop.nonmachinable.com

Via @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, whose writing and work I have long admired. We can all do something in long or short term ways; the goal is to be participating. choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

Testing, 1…2…

Still experimenting with @flashes.blue (Flashes). Here’s a handful of #lulucatsf doing her thing.

A first post here, using the (beta) version of Flashes (@flashes.blue). Pretty good so far and comparable to “that other photo sharing platform”.

Let's celebrate 50 years of Walter Landor's iconic MUNI logo. The absolute best transit agency logo ever. And always, in the orange and brown! #SanFrancisco

The “Missing Post Office” is a repository for 60,000-plus pieces of mail: letters, birthday cards and New Year’s greetings sent from all over Japan to those with no forwarding address. Lost friends and pets; past and future selves; and, most frequently, the dead.

Last call: if you're free for lunch today (11am central, noon eastern), We'll be exploring zines as tools for political communication, culture-shifting, community-building, etc. for @sarabandebooks.bsky.social's "zine lunch" series. Registration is free: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

So lovely to meet up with @jocelyn-bergen.bsky.social and see @marycamp.bsky.social last night at the closing of Mark Bloch’s “PanModern” exhibit. Great show, wonderful humans! (photos are from the exhibit)

“Tech entrepreneurs have launched a campaign to establish a new ecosystem that can’t be controlled by any singular person or company & puts power — & data ownership — back into the hands of users.” @hyperallergic.com reports on the “Free Our Feeds” initiative. hyperallergic.com/985244/a-new...

Excited to stop by and say howdy to Mr. John Casey next week. He’s on the LES of NYC, a fantastic maker of rubber stamps, and damn near a national treasure. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ULdN...

First #risograph project: artistamp sheet for Lunar New Year. Ready to perforate and mail out. #mailart #goodmailday
