If you need me I'll be looking at Gramercy Display by Dinamo all day 👀
'With 48 styles in total, its three subfamilies — Standard, Fine, and Display — each come with uppercase swashes. All in all, Gramercy is a font that invites extreme editorial flexibility. A true winner.'

Really disappointed to see such a big illustration agency like Jacky Winter promote the use of AI in their artists' work. The IG post has since been deleted, and I'm curious to see if they will say anything, but now it makes me less likely to want to use their services. /:

Words can't describe how dehumanizing it is to see my name used 20,000+ times in MidJourney. My life's work and who I am—reduced to meaningless fodder for a commercial image slot machine.

Could you imagine being a mid-weight book designer, having to afford to live in the London area, working for *THAMES & HUDSON*, helping design some of the most beautifully crafted and produced books in the market, and only getting paid only £31,000 (~$39,500USD) a year? 🙃 What

8% (10,450) of TN citizens who voted yesterday chose Uncommitted for the Democratic primary election, with 92% for Joe Biden. Davidson County (Nashville) specifically had 9.4% Uncommitted, with 90.6% to Joe Biden. That's almost 10% of Nashville Democratic voters on Super Tuesday.

Lit Hub is one of the only (if not *the* only) literary organization / publication to consistently and accurately write about Palestine.

We're four months into a genocide. Shouldn't there be more by now?

'Police starve civil society of the resources that could be used to address real problems. That leads to greater insecurity and fear, which police then use to argue that they need even more money.' —NYC Tw*tterati, on freedom from policing: thebaffler.com/latest/illusio…

I love how a double space can make it all the way to the final cut for a $60 million show. Puts things into perspective.

Dearborn Mayor rejects meeting w/Biden campaign manager:
“Residents have tirelessly protested & organized in demand of a ceasefire. As their mayor, I follow their lead…I will not entertain conversations about elections while we watch a live-streamed genocide backed by our govt.”

Our longest yeah boy ever: Nearly 400 of us have pledged to STOP WORK when our bargaining committee calls for a 24 hour walk out. RT to tell Condé Nast you stand with workers: stop breaking the law, stop union busting, and stop the layoffs. Keep your eyes here for more soon.
