Really hard to watch friends talk about Hamas like they’re the good guys when they literally want to kill you and everyone like you.

@fraying I sincerely hope you are not confusing being for the liberation of Palestine as somehow being pro-Hamas / antisemitic.

@fraying Indeed. ❤️🙏

    @scott Optima remains one of my all-time favorite typefaces. @peirantan would likely disagree :)

    @scott It’s beautiful.

    A quick poll about my personal website: My favorite (and totally silly) feature is the “Change That Font!” toggle at the bottom where the visitor can change the font to four of my favorite fonts.

    I want to add or change to some new favorites.

    Should I just add the new fonts and have more choices or should I keep it limited?

    Do you ever deal with an edit that won't leave you alone?

    I have a sentence like this:

    The company that invented the device was located in the same building as ...

    I took out the word "located." It shouldn't be necessary. "In" means the same thing. But now it doesn't feel right to me, and I keep thinking about it.

    [Update: I changed it to "worked out of," and now I'm happy with it.]

    Control is a total instant classic (a “banger,” as James Edmonson might say) and I am so in love with it. You guys.

    @onpaperwings Still just manually drag fonts in and out of the Fonts folder 🤷‍♀️

    I have turned off the AC and flung open the windows and have brought ice packs to bed with me.

    @stancarey Last night, it had dropped to 82°F (but still felt like 100°F). Quite humid (68 percent humidity last night, iirc).

    @stancarey (Mind you, that’s not as humid as it could be. New York gets very steamy in the summer.)

    I can’t really handle it. One saving grace is that I live right next to a park (lots of trees) and two blocks from an old-growth forest. And also very close to the Hudson.

    @onpaperwings Well, a little later Chrissie went on to clarify: “Ons had the flu last week. The flu. The flu has been going around the locker rooms here at the US Open.”

    The flu, though? This time of year?

    I am not a person who presents—I will never “present,” I am simply too shy—but I like the idea of using presentation tools for thinking.

    https://ia.net/presenter

    Also, iA Writer is a core app for me. I use it every single day. So I’m interested to see what iA Presenter is like. And I wonder if it might be a useful writing tool for visual thinkers.

    @stancarey Thank you for this. I knew I disagreed, but didn’t spend enough time trying to figure out why. Agree, I’ve never been able to bring myself to cap it. I think these analogies are pretty good! And good point re: Chicago and Oxford.
