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

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"

just had the type friday meeting with everyone and showed them the font. They only had nice things to say very complimentary. Good feeling!

Hey kids!

I don't know what to name the song please suggest things much love

poor soul

for reference... here's the same recording sped up 20%

this is the very first rough draft of the song about my first day of school. I don't know why I'm so intent on sharing every step of the creative process with everyone but it's helping me get through these weirdo times.

I want this one to have a second half that's entirely instrumental cello + clarinet + piano. have to find a cellist.

Let me know what you think. I'm feeling like this is too slow. Much love!
