This weekend I impulsively went to a book binding workshop. I learned so much about book anatomy and enjoyed the process to the extent that all I’m thinking about today is going home to try my hand at binding books with printed content.

Every time there's a post about how writers shouldn't use AI art, some chucklefuck in the comments says it's not fair because "some people just don't have art skills."
So, from a former "person without art skills," here's a 🧵 about the cool shit that's happened since I decided to make art anyway.

I watched the Blob this week, so of course I had to make a cherry kanten.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) my only jelly mould looks like a sphincter.

Why Vultures Might Just Be the Smartest Birds Above the Block
The birds are widely reviled for their carrion-eating ways. But an evolutionary history of scavenging has forged a creative, cunning and wide-ranging mind.

What working in tech in America is like: “I know you’re out of the office for bereavement, but can you work all night so things are done before I go on vacation with my family?” :(

Watching a wild parrot trying to fluff up his feathers and warm himself like he’s Bob Cratchit.
This green feathery sphere hates the cold and damp as much as me.

My favorite birds — American Black Vultures! You’d be surprised how clever and affectionate these guys are. There’s a bonded pair that hangs out by my office window.
Siri and Stomp showing how super cute black vultures are! They're also personable, social, intelligent, curious, playful, funny, and a very important part of nature's cleanup crew. 🪶

I wanted to consolidate a few thoughts on google, misinformation, large language models, enshittification, and the fate of the web as we know it.
It started when @carlzimmer.bsky.social shared this remarkable example of Google being fooled by machine-generated bullshit online.

Got yelled at for sharing my Thai food with this gangling adolescent grackle tonight.
But just look at his weird little face! Your hand full of crumbs would slip, too.

My ceramics instructor asked, “what do you do during the day? You have such excellent precision!” “Oh,” I said. “I’m a computer person.”
I loved how easily she accepted that answer. One day before I’m gone I hope to find my way outta tech.

I just love Franco Grignani’s 1969-70 Penguin SF book jackets.
He shot BW photos, which he then projected and distorted using lenses, shards of glass or mirror, or liquids such as oils to create these weird, trippy, single-color images. I especially like the continuity of the back. 🤌

Happy #nationaldogday to my most loyal companion, Cowboy, who never leaves my side, jump scares my friends, nurses me well when I am sick, and looks at me like I’m the most remarkable person on Earth.
