If you're buying gifts for spirited 12 year olds who have read most of the middle grade graphic novel canon, can I recommend my book The Legend of Auntie Po? It's multi-awarded, and well reviewed, but hasn't entirely found its commercial footing.

Holiday meal discussions always give me flashbacks to the time I offhandedly used "celebratory protein" as a shorthand for "centerpiece dish, usually meat, served at a holiday meal" in a meeting, and my coworkers lovingly teased me for it until it became an unironic piece of internal jargon. 😅

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

The company I have an olive oil subscription from (because I am the kind of food dweeb who has an olive oil subscription) prints their labels on magnets and use pretty public domain art, which they encourage people to keep. Seeing them on my fridge makes me so happy. 🥹

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

One of my dearest friends described our little core group of four weirdos as "two of us have the palates of toddlers, and two of us are actually old men", and let me tell you I have never felt more seen. 😂

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
