Anna Possi has been brewing espressos and serving coffees in northern Italy for more than 80 years.
Possi turned 101 on Sunday. She has no intention to retire.
"I have customers who are now grandparents and come in with their grandchildren," Possi said.

Masking works. My respirator has kept me free from Covid and flu for six years. 😷
Vaccines are great, but not inhaling viruses into your body is super cool when vaccines do not provide 100% protection. Vaccines & masking in combination FTW.
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Y’all need to learn how to 'yes AND'. There’s a lot of rejecting or dismissing facts because the framing is incorrect/immoral/trite, etc. but that’s doesn’t change the FACT. You can still use and share the FACT while altering or arguing against the framing in which said information was shared.

Tiny pink and cream colored cube under 2mm stuck to the surface of a leaf. There were several, scattered around randomly, but the photo is cropped to show the one that was in best focus. The second picture shows a bit of my thumbnail in the corner, with sparkly nail polish.

Diminutive fairy wombat poop. Tiny cubes under 2mm on each side.
These are egg sacs made by a spider in the family Theridiosomatidae.
They made yesterday’s hike special. Finding something I’ve never seen before is such a thrill.

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

A bookcase near a doorway, through which you can see another bookcase. There are maybe 150 books visible, with very few duplicates; they are shelved fairly tightly, with only one face out.
A book open to a page with text about William Caslon, a printer and font creator. The text is actually in Centaur, which was created by Bruce Rogers. This is from Rogers' book about creating Centaur, actually.
Let's talk about books and the public trust.

Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.
Joke’s on everyone who said liberal arts degrees don’t prepare you for the real world - my studies in rise of the Third Reich now doubles as a survival guide.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Illustration by @joyfulsmolthings featuring a warm, layered heart design. The background consists of concentric heart shapes in rich shades of orange, yellow, and gold, each bordered with a thin black outline and filled with subtle dotted textures that give a gentle, hand-drawn feel. At the centre of the image, inside the lightest heart, the handwritten text reads: “Your ability to feel other people’s pain doesn’t mean it’s your responsibility to fix it.” The overall tone of the illustration conveys empathy, compassion, and the importance of healthy emotional boundaries.
“You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm.” Penny Reid
Caring deeply is a gift but it doesn’t mean we have to fix.
Sometimes the most powerful act of empathy is simply being there… fully present, steady, and kind.
