Sounds like you need a lil treat

Close up of print in blue and brown inks on white paper. Says ‘we are all just figuring it out’ in cross stitch-style type with an ornate border.

Latest Print Club print. One of my favorite wonky metal typefaces in the shop. @bowerbox.com can weigh in!

A close up of the Homespun type, showing the pixel grid of metal bars used to make the font.

This was cast by making the letters out of "pixels" and electrodepositing the mats from the grids.

Yes! Homespun. This one is so cool.

On a family vacation when i was about 12, we randomly pulled over on the side of a bay/river and played in the water. A little while later, my dad said, look- and across the bay, the Space Shuttle lifted off. I wish I could see the Artemis launch in person!

A hand holds a plastic container of stinging melted above the patch of green plants

First harvest of stinging nettles from the garden. I'll dry some for tea, chop some to add to cornbread, saute and eat the rest. Also good in soup. Very yum

Did your hellebores survive at least?

Take it easy. I'm sick and unable to do yard work which is the only reason I'm not doing yard work

Posters on teal paper that say NO KINGS in chunky wood type

I'm sick and won't be taking my terrible head cold to the protests today, but I'll be there in spirit

Just go with it i guess?

The cover of The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett, with Rincewind the wizard on the Luggage

This is my preferred wizzard

That's a whole second vacation!

Yeah i looked at taking Amtrak from Baltimore to Seattle once for a long weekend conference, and would have had to arrive an entire week early. A flight had me there in 5 hours the day of.

I would ignore it, but if she asks again maybe let her know? I dunno. I ignore every request for stuff like that.

We can't have anything nice anymore, apparently

You betcha!

A toy mouse looking at a piece of cheese-shaped letterpress type

Well, we all know that some cheese is better aged- that goes for the cheese type too. This is a little big in the body and would require a lot of time finishing, so I'll re-engrave the mat a little smaller and try again! #letterpress #typecasting #typefoundry

Put some little bits of twine in a suet feeder? I don't know what they like to use but they might like those

A newly engraved brass mat for casting printing type, in the shape of a slice of Swiss cheese

Engraved a new mat today. Fancy some cheese type? #letterpress #typecasting

I need to look up how to do this, I don't even understand how you'd find the fabric to fix it?

My version this week is allergies, weather, or did I finally catch Chad's cold? I think it's weather plus allergies.

Ooh now we have a tornado warming, cool cool cool

My forecast for tomorrow says, rain, turning to all snow in the afternoonb and we've got the dark clouds rolling in right now

Fun! Is that a wholesale or retail show?

I don't know why people trust the little magic glowing rectangle. Didn't the olds tell us to not trust anything on the internet? I feel like I'm losing my mind!

Either they'll sprout or they won't and you just plant more!

She's so mad at me she hasn't spoken to me since

I just had to get a pill and a liquid in the cat, and I managed! Claps all around

That's a sign of the grifter slop newsletter, I think, the single sentence paragraph, so I bet a lot of AI trained on that stuff. I hate it.

Even better if you throw some sun dried tomatoes in there too
