“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute
And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

This article well explains why teachers in the UK are on strike. (Forget the first paragraph.) ‘The Market’ has wrecked our academic life. opendemocracy.net/en/ucu-str…
Not sure what this even means really but venturing to Mastodon as @thinkingtype@typo.social Will hopefully set up properly over the weekend…
I should also say a big thank you to the generosity of others in making this a whole lot easier than it would have been: @colinmford @TiroTypeworks @letterror ❤️
Crystal Pite’s Light of Passage @RoyalOperaHouse a ballet set to Górecki’s Symphony of sorrowful songs. Powerful, political, and so unutterably beautiful it reduced me to tears. A perfect example of why we need the arts – all of them.💪❤️🩰 theguardian.com/stage/2022/o…

If you do one thing between 12.00 noon today (Friday) and 5pm tomorrow it should be to go to the David King design exhibition at Standpoint Gallery, Hoxton: standpointlondon.co.uk/galle… ▶️➡️🔜✊❤️

Dear @sainsburyarch I particularly like this packaging. The prevalence and placement of the lowercase 'o' subliminally suggests the cotton balls. The alignment of the n, l and l creates the angle and fortuitously the corners of the w and b kiss touch. Subtle use of colour.
Lovely to be @stbridelibrary last night to celebrate the digitisation of their pre-1830s type specimens. Some gems shared by @PauloBarnesi including this unique specimen of typefounder Hugh Hughes. 👏👏👏
Now, this is the kind of kingdom I can really get behind! The marvellous Bob Richardson will talking about his work with the BBC next Wednesday evening @stbridelibrary sbf.org.uk/whats-on/view/a-k…
