My pal Sarah Hyndman kindly invited me to her "Seeing Senses" podcast, and encouraged me to really get excited and nerdy as I talk about type and making stuff. seeingsenses.substack.com/p/episode-09...

I know “Fawlty Towers” was her main legacy, but to me she’ll always be the sublimely snooty Miss Elizabeth Mapp from “Mapp & Lucia”.

There’s a promo trailer for “Eternity”, a new A24 film, that spotlights some material using Ringold Clarendon! I’ve had a lot of bromances, too.(I love when Ringold gets used in thematically appropriate ways. 🌈)

I can recall the phone numbers of all my childhood friends, but it took me five years to remember my partner’s number — and he’s my emergency contact!

Makes #zines and make a difference!

I’ve never seen any of “Kill Bill”, so I was already interested in this theatrical re-release. Now that I’ve discovered I’m having dinner tonight at the “House of Blue Leaves” restaurant (Gonpachi Nishi-Azabu) in Tokyo, I’m even more excited to catch it once and for all. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

This is extremely well done and it makes me think there's a market for these kinds of 2-minute pop culture explainers from people who are actually experts at researching things. I know I can find a million explainers on social media, but archivists really know how to break it down and lay it out

James Mosely's series of lectures on the history of letterforms were delivered every year to students in the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. These were recorded in 2020-21, and are now available for everyone to watch: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Same, so very glad that today is a tattoo day.

I’m EXTREMELY delighted to have scored a last minute spot for Pink Mince at the Brussels Ass Book Fair this November! No turkey me this year, but I’d much rather give thanks for sharing Pink Mince with a whole new crowd, anyway. brusselsassbookfair.be pinkmince.com

My oldest pal Eddie Schmidt is an acclaimed filmmaker now, and is in this podcast talking about the amazing movie “Tapehads” and some of our teenage film hijinks. youtu.be/zjMUR7AFwMs

Liquid Glass and its many white outlines: I do not care for it

Every few years comes the need for The Purge — finding new homes for all the excess, close-to-obsolete cables and accessories that accumulate.

I spy Pink Mince #13 (first picture, lower right)!

The Berlin Trilogy: a loose plan to photograph and talk to a few people during Easter weekend turned into enough interesting material for two issues of Pink Mince and a Pink Maxi. All available now at pinkmince.com #zines

the quiet dignity of a bike lock with a little flat surface atop it for you to sort out your little things for a sec i could cry

It’s my birthday! Buy some Pink Mince and help support independent queer publishing (and a middle-aged homo’s rigorous moisturizing regimen) #zines #queerzine #gayzine pinkmince.com

Pink Mince #19 — Black & Brass — is finally ready! Photography, artwork, interviews, 5 different paper stocks, 10 colors, and lots of Bijou Type in action. www.pinkmince.com/2025/09/pink... #zines

You are not prepared for the extreme gayness of this 1979 Cher video, "Hell on Wheels". youtu.be/BEUd71BPyg0

I’ve been making zines for about 45(!) years, and the longer I do it the more incredible I think it is that so many people have done so much essential work just by realizing that there’s no one to stop them from using the means of production for themselves and their communities.

I really enjoyed the new episodes of “King of the Hill”, and selfishly I’m glad that its success means a lot of people may have seen Ringold Clarendon used for the production company’s credit slide at the end. www.vulture.com/article/king...

Butlerian Jihad Now

Fascinating to sit in my living room and watch some random woman drive up and trim the edges of our yard — including dumping the trimmings back onto the property — without bothering to knock and say anything first. I mean, she just sprayed weed killer on a stranger's property then drove away!

Not only are there multiple filming styles used in the in-universe documentary featured in this week’s “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, but there are also a MADDENINGLY inconsistent variety of similar typefaces used within it.

The sound of a Zip drive not mounting is the soundtrack of every '90s design student’s broken heart. 👀

Tomorrow is “DEVO” release day on Netflix, so please understand if I seem giddy and distracted. www.netflix.com/title/82052197

I was hoping I’d see some reference to my oldest friend in this @mattbaume.bsky.social video about “But I’m a Cheerleader”, and there it is!

I had a little chat with my friend Sandro Berra from Tipoteca Italia for Monotype’s Creative Characters podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I suppose the Gwyneth bio is not going to touch on the high-school production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” that we were both cast in.

It took a couple of battles with my Risograph, but I’ve published a new Pink Maxi issue — AA Bronson at home www.pinkmince.com/2025/07/pink...

www.witchinghour.tattoo/gallery/writ... If you’ll be in Portland for TypeCon next month, I wholeheartedly encourage you to stop by this show of type and lettering work organized by my pal and tattoo artist, Travis Wheeler (who drew this promo and all its lettering).

As a long-time fan and friend of this movie’s production designer, it is WONDERFUL to see her true vision in all its saturated glory.

It me

Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!

Discovered a comedian who’s been using Ringold Sans for his performance videos 🥰

My greatest regret about the 5 or so years that I lived in Inwood is that I never bumped into famous neighbor Audra McDonald, who had a little pied-à-terre house across the street from my building.

Fonts are just putting letters in drag.

Once again spotted on a random street in another country because of my tattoos 🇯🇵

"The Bitch is Back," they sing to themself as they plug away in Glyphs.

We have created a world-class snuggler, at least in the mornings

I am DELIGHTED to see the Ringold fonts continue to infiltrate the gay mediasphere! SUCCESS!

As a person in the target demographic, I can confirm that this DOES hit close to home — but LITERALLY. The first aerial shot is over my old neighborhood, looking toward the bridge we’d use to head up to our cabin.
