Good notification

"We’ve been notified that a parcel has been posted to you from False Knees in Canada."

It's good because I am excited to get a comic and a print from @falseknees and also, because I really hope that Royal Mail think I am getting some actual false knees.

This is nice

Someone saying nice things about me in a podcast. He says I'll hate it – actually, he's been really generous. And you can't hate that.

If you keep saying it for long enough...

maybe it'll change

It's register office.

No one knows this. I'm genuinely not pointing fingers here, because I have yet to talk to anyone about this who is not surprised. Including people who work in the death industry and people who don't. This is a screen grab from a funeral directors I was looking at earlier. Oliver Peyton's, actually.

Someone I spoke to recently said it'll probably change at some point. I guess it will. But at least you'll know what it used to be.

I should do this probably: Tumblr to static site generator. Should you?

The hardest thing in the world is simplicity

"There’s a wonderful letter Chekhov wrote to his brother Alexander about the meaning of grace, how grace is when you make the least number of movements between two points – and that type of athletic prose has always appealed to me, coupled with light-handedness and restraint. Elegance, to me, is writing just enough. And, as James Baldwin said, in his  Paris Review interview, ‘the hardest thing in the world is simplicity’."

Claire Keegan, interviewed for the Booker Prize.

Just looked at a beautiful GF Smith sample book on the shelf, and then remembered their god-awful rebrand.

Reminds me of the Bjork song, Innocence. (Which is brilliant.)

Anxiety, yet excitement

Passion project of the highest calibre

Was just sharing this with someone. Thought I'd share it with you too, because it's still great: How I collected the complete short stories of F Scott Fitzgerald

Designing content first

Nice article about content design and designing content first. It still blows my mind that this is news. But it is, to a lot of people/designers.

Oh! I love this.

LIBRARY WRAPPED

You checked out... probably some stuff? Thanks for doing that :)

Used our wifi maybe? For something?

Look we actually don't know what genres you read or how many times you renewed Gender Queer.

We don't want to know.

Our gift to you is privacy.

Take it.

Be free.

It is not too Mastodon. Or not for me, anyway.

*Is this too "Mastodon" to be popular on Tumblr

Weeknotes of the past

"Find it difficult to get ‘Oranges and Lemons’ going, whilst at same time appearing to give intelligent attention to remarks from visiting mother concerning Exhibition of Italian Pictures at Burlington House. Find myself telling her how marvellous I think them, although in actual fact have not yet seen them at all. Realize that this mis-statement should be corrected at once, but omit to do so, and later find myself involved in entirely unintentional web of falsehood. Should like to work out how far morally to blame for this state of things, but have not time." Extract from Diary of a Provincial Lady, E. M. Delafield (Back when weeknotes were diaries)

Should really go out, but I'm noodling around. Found this again, and it's really nice: https://brendandawes.com/projects/happinessmachine
