Not saying this simply to flatter @zigzackly.bsky.social, as our very first @globalvoices.org Summit t-shirt was manufactured in his home country (where the Summit was also held), but in my view we've never had a Summit shirt of better quality.

I love legal pads for their cheapness, decent-quality paper and even their yellowness, but hate that the pages are designed to be written on on only one side. Enter the notebook made from legal pad sheets! A bit over-engineered for the purpose of scrappy note-taking, but #bookbinding makes me happy.

Today I finished the 5-year journal I started making 15 months ago. I printed the signatures in September 2023. Then they sat in a pile until yesterday, when I stitched and glued them. And this afternoon I made the covers and bound the whole thing together. The long game is a thing.
