A big thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening full of sketches, stories, and subversion at Het Nieuwe Instituut!

Together with Max Bruinsma, Renate Boere, Giang Nguyen, we celebrated the Valiz title 'Gert Dumbar, Gentleman Maverick of Dutch Design'—a book that captures the irreverent genius of one of the most influential figures in Dutch visual culture.

From archival deep-dives to reflections on book design as a tool for change, the evening offered a layered look at why making books still matters (a lot).

Missed it? The book, made in close collaboration with Gert Dumbar and Leonie ten Duis, is available via Valiz and selected bookstores.

Congratulations to @johnonolan and the team at Ghost on their 12th birthday! Here's John's post reflecting on the idea behind the product, some of the incredible indie publishers who have adopted it (including @404mediaco, @caseynewton's Platformer, and @drownedinsound) and what's next.

He is risen
Happy Easter ✝️

This Easter, I invite you to reflect on resurrection not just as a moment in history, but as a living invitation. What if this Holy Day isn’t just about what happened then, but what we are called to do now—to regenerate?

“Growing academic research shows that our spiritual connection with the natural world is essential… If you’ve felt overwhelmed by climate change or grief for the world we’re losing, that sorrow comes from your connection.”

You are not alone in that sorrow. You are awakening.

"'We become immense,' writes Francis Weller. And from that immensity, we can build something new."

This is Easton’s moment. And maybe yours too. 🌱

I wrote this reflection for The Cultural Easton: “Easton’s Regenerative Awakening”

If this resonates, I’d be honored if you shared it. 🌍🔗📰
