ZENMOJIS
I often think of closing my Twitter account, but then something like this finds its way onto my timeline, from Anne Fine:
“I used to make a lot of emoji art through instagram stories when I was bored, but then they changed the UX of stories and it was no longer possible for me to make these.”
Anne called these “zenmojis.”
PER MY LAST EMAIL
From the @tittybats account on Instagram, and pretty much how I feel lately with everything.
SHIN OH’S TINY VOXEL SHOPS
These are so wonderful.
“If we don’t support old shops, they’ll be gone forever,” Shin says. “I tried to ‘preserve’ the old shops through this series […] I hope when people see it, it will remind them to go and support their small local businesses.”

COLORFUL OFFICES, YES PLEASE
The office of Sebastian Curi, an artist, illustrator, and animator in Los Angeles, CA, via workspaces.xyz. I am absolutely in love with this.
(thanks, Bill)
SCREEN RATIO NERDERY
I have absolutely zero skin in this game, as I haven’t owned a TV since… 2008? I don’t even watch much TV, but have fallen in love pretty hard with all the Star Wars material on Disney+, and of course sports on Sling.
What I love most is someone post a video about aspect ratios in the year 2023 and it can be seen 215K times.

RAMBIS
This GLCO x MITCHELL & NESS Rambis Lakers shirt is great. Order here.
Used to have a running joke with an old friend that his dad was Kurt Rambis.
NO RUSH
I’ve lately been leaning towards the higher-value work lately, and believing the lower value work will get done eventually. It’s hard, because I want everything done all the time, in a perfect schedule. I used to plan to have certain tasks done on certain days, but I’ve scrapped all that, and just started working on things as my energy allowed.
And while I love being wrapped up and done by 3 or 4pm, sometimes I need that workout in the morning, or that bike ride after lunch, which then pushes “closing time” back, and that’s okay.
I JUST KEEP DANCING
Not as many miles as I wanted this week, but it’s been brutally hot out, so the few miles I’m getting feel like more bang for the buck. Running in the heat is double duty on the heart; one for the run, two for the internal cooling.
There was a half mile stretch the other night where things came together. Warmed up, legs felt great, sun beating down, and settled in at my 10:30-ish per mile pace, which I am not usually doing. I’m puttering along most of the time, really, as I don’t want to press, and wipe myself out after every run – life is hard enough already!
But yeah, that little half mile section felt good. Settled in, accepted the discomfort, eyes on the prize, chest up, and yeah, got it done.
Today’s run at the nature preserve didn’t have the same vibe, but it was a lot more climbing, which felt good. I didn’t run much of it, but I got the heart rate up, saw some buffalo, and got home without destroying myself. Felt good to have all that under control.
