An Update
Hey, everyone. This week has been a little wonky/distracted for me — I was tending to a sick kid for a couple of days and am trying not to get sick myself, so I didn’t get to spend as much time as I would have liked here at KDO reporting on the coup and what we can do about it. As I said in this comment on the wild skating post, this feels like a new job to me and this week I was barely hanging on. I’m hoping to have a cleaner slate next week for getting a better handle on things.
That said, I am sensing that we could use a bit of a break from the NEWS. Or at least I do — it’s Friday and I feel like sharing some art, good news, and foolishness. Foolishness Friday or some such. Anyway, I’ll be back on Monday (or maybe over the weekend) with, uh, that other stuff. ✌️

Whatever you feel like posting (or not posting) is good enough!
I've been closely following all of ... it, through the many posts here and elsewhere. I feel like I've been doing as good as I could in trying to balance my energy and time but it's still all heavy. I felt this comic from earlier this week in my bones, so I won't complain about this direction for Friday at all.
I had a realization a couple of months ago that "k dot" would be the perfect nickname for kottke.org. But alas, that name is taken.
Apt use of Zalgo.
Keep up the amazing work! I live in the UK and your website is giving me a complete perspective on the situation to the UK press.
Just cause I didn’t get a chance to post on the last update. Longtime reader first time poster. Thank you for doing what you’re doing. Including and especially taking care of you and yours.
And that was some great Zalgo
Thank you.
I'm more than a little unsettled at how much less wrecked I feel at the end of Foolishness Friday than I've felt at the end of the workday over the past two weeks. The difference is stark.
TIL the existence of Zalgo.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
