Added one of my favorite recent projects to my portfolio: branding for an early childhood education center with a strong focus on outdoor learning and play. davidsankey.net

Woulda thought they'd ditch this slippery slope stuff after seeing how it went for the ICE agents got hit with a sandwich

If you can't make this meeting but have a moment to email your councilperson PLUS the at-large members of the council, please do. There's helpful info here: simplyk-bucket-production.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/deliveries/1...

Meanwhile everyone trying to get on or off a bus has to contend with snow, trash, and illegally parked cars at every bus stop. Claiming public space as storage for your personal vehicle for weeks on end is antisocial.

It's 40 out. Are you waiting until more snow melts? It seems the reason we're in this mess is because with alternate side parking suspended for so long parked and snowed-in cars prevent plows and snow removal equipment from properly clearing the streets.

Suggestion: please resume alternate side parking. Thanks.

Each year as a little design exercise for fun I collect some of my favorite bike rides in a little zine. Here's 2025:

I have a collage illustration in the latest issue of Commonweal: a rogue's gallery of brainworm-havers for
@mattpolprof.bsky.social's excellent review of
@lkatfield.bsky.social's excellent book on what these guys are up to (hint: it's not good). Read: www.commonwealmagazine.org/big-ideas-no...

Image popped into my head. I would like ICE to leave my neighbors alone. Call Spirit of Liberation (SOL) if you see these guys in Hudson County. Thanks.

This has to be the biggest slam dunk available. Like, every time his picture flashes on the screen the room smells strongly of sulphur.

The 86 would be SUCH a useful bus for me if it were remotely reliable. Every time I see one on the route it feels like Christmas (and that occurs with roughly the same frequency as Christmas).

Bike JC stands in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and those seeking refuge in Jersey City. We watched ICE’s activity in our city this week with horror when agents targeted hard-working people who use the 9th Street elevator to bring bikes between Hoboken and Jersey City Heights.

Strong kinship with Nathan Fielder's "Oh okay."
