I just updated my now page with the books I’m into, hobby projects I’m considering, and recent adventures. 👀
Yes! 💯 Your tools should work for you. Don’t feed your scissors! Chris, on today’s ShopTalk Show 36 minutes in:
You know, I basically got this from Alex, who I work with, who feels this way about tools and brings it up, or at least has many times, is that like tools are for you.
Like you use this tool so the tool can help you. Like I use scissors so I can cut through a piece of paper, but if I woke up and my scissors were like, feed me, I’d be like, no, you’re a weird scissors.

Unfortunately, there are still a few accounts on X that I want to keep up with, like @ZeldaOfficialJP. Just a reminder: you can follow X (formerly Twitter) accounts via RSS.
A The Legend of Zelda game where you actually get to play as Zelda, in what looks like a puzzle adventure? 🥰 Yes!!1! I’m going to bed now, wake me up in September.
I’ve shared a couple of glimpses of our trip to the island already, but Sanna collected a bunch of them in her post Glimtar från Gotland.
I totally missed this, but a couple of weeks ago, Arisa Trew became the first woman to land the 900 (2½-revolution) on a skateboard. She’s 14. Wow! (via Eric)
Rauk Pareidolia.
Panic attacks, beautifully illustrated. Moa Romanova’s Alltid fucka upp (Goblin Girl). 📚
Nighty night, Visby.
Today was perfect for hanging out in the park and reading Kissa by Kissa. Finally, Amanda can get it back—I borrowed it about a year ago. 🫣 I’ll try to make it up by lending her my copy of Ducks in return. 📚
Oops!… I did it again. I neglected sharing my web finds with you for a while, and they started to pile up. But don’t worry, go check out the End of May Hyperlink Dump for tantalizing links to a zine about HTML elements, weird little web toys, a scrolling lecture on the computer mouse, and more. 👀

Sex-kitten is flying through space fucking intergalactic nomads as well as eating gigantic pumpkin-pies. Her world smells of fresh sawdust and lilies. But for those who don’t have access to her mind, this picture may just look like a white person with long brown hair lying in bed wearing a beige t-shirt and beige eye mask surrounded by beige bedsheets.
It’s finally here—strawberry season! We took a short hike this morning and stopped by Rudenstams on our way back to grab these. 🤤
I helgen tog Sanna och jag varsin brassestol, satte oss i skuggan av ett par björkar och spelade in ett avsnitt av podden Hej (resten av) internet! – med humlesurr och fågelkvitter i bakgrunden. I nästan en timme tjötar vi gästböcker och webbkarnevaler och mycket mer. Finns där poddar finns. 🎙️
Today is Micro Camp day. 🏕️ A conversation with @film_girl about blogging, Micro.blog status update, and a community happy hour. It sounds wonderful, I hope I will be able to catch it live.
Our little library just opened up for its third summer. We had more books than space this year, but luckily, there’s another little beach library not far from ours that helped us out. 📚
Took this year’s first plunge into Viken today, documented by Sanna. Water was far from warm, but it definitely woke me up.
Sanna wrote a blog post about our trip to Copenhagen, loaded with links and photos of all the food, drinks, and fun stuff we experienced over there. 🇩🇰
Balderdash. Crowded and cozy cocktail joint with finesse. They were into spritzing perfume on the drinks… and the patrons!
One more from this week’s trip to Denmark. This one is from inside Rundetaarn (the Round Tower). Sanna, I, and what felt like most of the school kids in the country raced to the top. 😅
Please do not disturb, I’m writing my blog. 🥰 From the hotel we stayed at in Copenhagen.
We had tacos and ice cream for lunch today. 😋 I’m a sucker for street food, and Reffen did not disappoint. It’s a cozy little oasis in Copenhagen, filled with food stalls, surrounded by workshops and warehouses.
I just read Lizzy Stewart’s illustrated essay Walking Distance, and you should too. It’s about walking (no surprise there) but more specifically about the experience of being a woman out walking. Sprinkled with musings about moms, gender, social structure, and more. 📚
