as a side note. I love how unapologetically political the type design hangout thing is. You'd think most of our conversation would be about kerning or something but it's like "all cops are bastards! The global south is locked out of graphic design due to imperialism and racism! Capitalism and weird libertarians are corrupting open source fonts! Oh yeah speaking of fonts check out this humanist sans I'm working on"

They were making fun of me because I was eating mashed potatoes and was apparently chewing a lot. That inspired a debate about whether boxed mashed potatoes are a symptom of american poor taste and laziness or something to be celebrated because the development of shelf stable food is a necessary step in industrialization which culminated in debating whether or not powdered mashed potatoes lead to the moon landing. Love those guys
