Mr. Oil Man, start your machines🛢️with Toni Lindgren on guitar

The EPA recently approved new pesticides made with PFAS - “forever chemicals” that don’t break down easily in the environment and so sneak into our food and water supply, build up in our bodies, and lead to all kinds of health risks from liver damage to cancer.

But the good news is, introducing more toxic chemicals into our food and water supply is unpopular with just about everyone on both sides of the aisle. MAHA activists (with whom I disagree about a great many things) are pushing for the firing of the EPA’s administrator over this decision.

Since this administration’s regulators aren’t actually doing much regulating, it falls on us to combat PFAS exposure, fight for clean air and water, and demand at every level of governance that safer pollution standards are drawn up and enforced.

Grammarian chalkboard design is now finally a poster and shirt AND we made a real version of the Kerning Leading Winning mug from my font videos!

As a longtime fan of the Brothers Green (that is, Hank & John Green) I’m stoked that their company DFTBA set up a little storefront for me and is helping me get these and eventually other things out into the world. Extremely cool merch coming for the sci-fi book club as well, so keep an eye on that spot if you’re in the market for some nerdy gear. 👾

It’s the ol’ reverse Robinhood. Stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Roger Miller’s “Oo-De-Lally” song from the animated Robinhood movie seemed like a good choice for this message.

My comments on the unfortunate letter spacing of Pope Francis’ name on his tombstone published this morning in The New York Times:

Irregularly spaced letters spelling “F R A NCISC VS” have caused a stir among typography nerds who specialize in spacing and fonts. One called them “an abomination unto design.”
