So glad you already know about them!

Have a few of their jackets and love when a nerd stranger recognizes the inspiration so I can recommend them. Design, quality, and just vibe are reliably top notch, and the folks repping their NYCC booth are always awesome.

For any fans of Only Connect & NYTimes Connections, I designed this for friendly games at Lollapuzzoola 2024 and ran it with @benbassandbeyond.bsky.social
on Twitch. Really proud of the grid, but didn't get as many full games played to show it off, so here you go.

Please sort into 4 groups of 4!

It breaks my heart to tell you that we lost our home to the Altadena fires. It’s completely gone. Thankfully, we’re safe with our dog across town, hosted by some dear friends. I never thought this would be me, but a friend made us this GFM, which I post here with incredible humility:
