    And now we begin a very, very long journey back to California. Japan has been an absolute delight. 🦌

    A good reminder that it’s enjoyable to sit and savor things rather than churning through new ideas faster than we can comprehend them.

    Taking your time can be like being in the pocket, in a good groove — when the environment is right to produce magic. Like drummer Manu Katché in this track. The pocket, achieved. https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-belong-to-the-sky-dark-side-mix-single/6788432046

    “Noticing is my way of opposing a particular modernist practice of looking towards an imagined future. Certain things get coded as possible futures and then we develop blinders so that all we can see is our trajectory towards one kind of imagined future, which isn’t actually the future but is a stereotyped dream future. And so, we stopped seeing.” https://fojournal.org/interview/anna-tsing-noticing-is-my-way-of-opposing/

    It’s always a nice surprise when a new specimen book drops from XYZ Type (xyztype.com). Beautiful work @jesseragan and @benkiel :)

    Anyone in the Clevland area looking for a sweet deal on a Riso ComColor production printer? Current bid is $1 and I’d almost be tempted to rent a truck and drive it back to California. Looking in your general direction @glass ;-) https://bid.fasttrackauction.net/Public/Auction/AuctionItemDetail?AuctionId=RbJoFYaXaakYtJm94cpcDw%3d%3d&amp;amp;pageNumber=pf6Q%2bhJtdeleDd9FfYpy9w%3d%3d&amp;amp;pageSize=rMS8glZbjUPmYsI0NyKOdg%3d%3d&amp;amp;showFilter=iBcS%2b4ptjknZQtCojbueqQ%3d%3d&amp;amp;sortColumn=...

    Taking a more leisurely time this morning since I have no meetings to rush to and instead finished printing and assembling the first copy of a new zine.

    Excited for the life-altering impact of owning an electric paper jogger which is a thing I didn’t really know I needed until this afternoon.

    Seven months and seven tracks in, I continue to appreciate the slow burn of one track a month releases from Peter Gabriel’s new album OI*. * technically one track but two mixes coinciding with new and full moons.

    Saying “sayonara” to the Risograph EZ391 machine tonight as it heads off on its journey up to a new home in Portland.

    The Dog Stars is one my favorite books and all I can say is that Ridley better not have made a mess of it. https://youtu.be/cmzVY1goqwQ?si=1Zj5EUDIv9zHwlLX
