​‘ I haven’t stopped messaging or suddenly sworn off my phone, but it does feel less urgent. I’ve muted some group chats, archived others, and no longer get that sinking feeling if I forget to reply straight away. I have found myself slowing down in other ways too – thinking a little more before replying, choosing my words more carefully, calling when a planned catch-up has drifted into text.’ https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/aug/17/the-one-change-that-worked-i-sent-myself-a-letter-and-realised-whats-missing-in-this-world-of-whatsapp. #letters #tech #snail ail

Forced to change my plans for today. No trip out to Büsum due to a junction failure in Hamburg Altona. So I've postponed it to the next unplanned spot, which is in about two weeks.

Today will be a letterwriting day instead. And those books won't read themselves....

I #mail out #postcards and #letters, #handwritten or #typed (with errors in place to make it more human). And I hope this makes the mailbox more fun for the people I send them to :)

Dostoyevsky in Love

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.themarginalian.org/2026/07/23/dostoyevsky-in-love/

I scanned some pages from my sketchbook and seeing some progress made me smile (!). But still I feel like I’m in my own bubble — what are the ideas on how to expand your drawing skill? How to try something different, and what does it mean *different*?
Have to think about it, or maybe just draw more and it will come.

I am a fan of fonts, and it's not often they cause too much controversy in the numismatic world. But we're at one of those points!

The National Bank of Ukraine said on July 15 that it will change the lettering on its planned Hr 2,000 banknote after public backlash that the inscription too closely resembled a Russian typeface.

- force the mutiny of #perverts to backtrack and change #tactics.
- beat them in #court countless times [+ examples and things that worked]
