Canals are closed, and I have a wedding to attend in the south of Portugal in a few weeks. So I’ve decided to take it slow and go (mostly) by train.

Just finished reading the latest from @keithhouston.bsky.social and give it my absolute recommendation as the definitive book on emoji history.
Don’t let the huge set of references and citations fool you, it’s an easy and interesting read. Goes deep where it needs to, without going off the deep end

Cheese came with one of the first emoji updates where completely “original” ideas were entertained. Updates before then were mostly for compatibility with Japan and/or Windings.
