TET: Mutatis mutandis ...

Eh... considering the state of humanity, I doubt we'll get any further than Mars.

That's okay. I read The Martian, I can deal. Potatoes, fuck yeah!

Pity the soil is toxic.

How else did she survive the Potato Famine?

She had to clear some of the bodies, so decided to take sin eating to its logical conclusion.

Not after you ... amend it.

I did, but I am trying walk the p 13 line here.

At least he didn't get complaints every few days for his sexnation flag.

Fortune favors the bold. Arial favors the italics. TImes New Roman favors strike through. Wing Dings loses its deposit.

"Looses"? I'm not sure I want to live in a world where Wing Ding deposits have been loosed.

I suspect I made a typo with that. Should've been loses its deposit. Marked difference in the meaning of that statement when you change those two words around, eh?

[Gamergirl90]

Bleh, after drinking trying not to let my mind have bad ideas about my boyfriend working late.

I used to use New Times Roman all the time at work, until near the end when I gave up trying to keep it as my default font. Arial and Helvetica are okay. I can write a creditable Uncial hand, used to do my to-do list in it each day. I can manage Carolingian miniscule if I don't try to hurry. I'd love to be able to do a Roman Rustic the way the artist who did the Palatine Virgil manuscript, like here, for instance, http://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.lat.3225 ... but ... I never can for more than a few lines.

I saw an article today saying that disliking comic sans was ableist.

Just back away slowly until far enough removed, then turn and run like hell.

The main reason people hate comic sans is nothing to do with disability, but as a graphic designer, the widespread complaint is that people use Comic Sans everywhere regardless of the context. I've seen comic sans on newsletters, hospital notices and even safety notices.

I wonder if Randall Munroe, who does xkcd, takes commissions. I'd love to have my resume done in comic strip form.

Maybe, if you think the disapproval of Comic Sans is deliberately directed at the handicapped. I suspect that's not the case.

Good book? It's sitting on my shelf, bought it last semester, haven't had chance to read it yet.

There's a difference between directly targetting someone for something and targetting something that is useful to the handicapped for petty and silly reasons, but doesn't mean it still doesn't impact them.

Literacy tests didn't explicitly say no votes for blacks, still pretty racistm

I enjoyed it a lot. It starts "I'm pretty much fucked." Not as great as the opening line to Charlotte's Web ("Where's Papa going with that axe?' said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.) but good. It'll keep you turning the pages, I think.

Literacy tests very much targeted blacks who were trying to vote. I don't want to get into a debate on aesthetics but some designers and graphic artists don't like Comic Sans. They want their work to look as good as it can, according to their ideas of what looks good. I don't think that's a petty and silly reason, not really. Instead of calling them names like ableists, pointing out the usefulness of the font to dyslectic people might work.
