The Story of Maggie Doyne
My dear friend Maggie Doyne is an embodiment of love and without a doubt the most remarkable woman I know. I love her deeply. She just made her documentary, Between the Mountain and the Sky, available for anyone to see. (Her CreativeMornings talk cracked my heart wide open.)

The First Non Generative AI Model (very analog)
Prompt-Brush 1.0 is a project by graphic designer Pablo Delcan that satirizes and challenges the growing field of AI-generated art. In a project he dubbed “the first non-AI generative art model,” Delcan invited the public to submit text prompts, which he then manually illustrated by hand using a brush and black ink. You can buy the result as a book.
Loadmo.re
loadmo.re a collection of unconventional and fun mobile web pages. For example, I found Busy Simulator. Totally made me smile.
Make sure to follow them on Instagram.
Be My Eyes
The level of excitement I feel when I get a call from Be My Eyes and can help a blind person with whatever they need help with, is indescribable. This is the version of the internet I want to revel in.
Be My Eyes connects the blind with seeing humans. I have helped folks with making sure their mustache was trimmed perfectly straight, what color tie to pick, or. where to push a button on an oven. You get the idea.
Leaf Button Cover
Leaf Button Cover. So simple. So sweet. So sold out.
E. Jean Carroll
I had the pleasure to meet E. Jean Carroll last week. What a force. She reminds me of my eccentric aunt Hugi who was my biggest role model of living a courageous, creative life.
A Book Wheel
The Bookwheel, invented in 1588 by Italian engineer Agostino Ramelli, was a heavy, 600-pound wooden rotating bookcase that let scholars easily use up to eight open books at once. It had a clever gear system to keep the books upright as the wheel turned by hand, saving time for readers who didn’t have to fetch books from shelves. Featured in Ramelli’s book of machines, it was a creative Renaissance tool for studying, though it’s uncertain how many were actually made.
mi:nu:ti:ae
Mi:nu:ti:ae is a global art project where strangers from around the world simultaneously capture what’s happening in their life, at the exact same time. It’s not new, has been around since 2017, still wonderful.

Probably my favorite Tattly.
Musclewiki
I love the internet, because it has sites like Musclewiki.
Haiku Vandal
My daughter (18) carries Haiku in her pockets. She sprinkles them in random places or gifts them to humans she encounters. This makes my heart happy.
