International Workers' Day 2020

Not going bonkers here, thankfully. It seems like I have plenty enough to keep me busy here at home between job-hunting, house chores, skills-polishing, and I haven't even gotten around to entertainment yet. Sometimes, it seems like job-hunting, skills-polishing and entertainment do blur a bit for my purposes because of the graphic design/illustration/photography stuff involved. And yes, I am still looking for regular office work.

And there we are: work.

A lot of us have it. A lot of us get paid for it. A lot of us still have it and used to get paid to do it.

So...there's Labour Day, the International Day of Mourning for Workplace Death and Injury, and today to commemorate the worker.

My Local Community Newspapers

The Orléans Star and L'Orléanais.

I'd like to see them get through this on a continuing basis.

Poem, surprising, mid-laundry

Laundry getting done.
Half-set of drapes now missing,
yet not halfway done.

The Batman and the Globe and Mail

This may be a mildly amusing error, and no more than that. In today's hardcopy edition of the Globe and Mail, that storied newspaper reminds us that On This Date, Detective Comics # 27, featuring the first appearance of the Batman was allegedly released to the public. The decades-long tendency of comics publishers to release issues two months ahead of the published cover date has apparently not occurred to the people handling that that item on page A2.

Therefore, a possibly amusing error.

Laundry II

Half-set of curtains,
rediscover'd in plain sight
where they ought to be.

FONTS: Macklin and Its Consequences

So, I'm hearing that select weights of Macklin are freebies for a limited time, and different weights on offer as such at MyFonts and Linotype. Limited-time...so I'm looking at what non-freebie deals I can/should get.
