This is 44.

…a voice directed me to glance down but forward as if I’m seeing a glimpse of my future beyond the ripples of the stream. 44 years in a blink, my conscience speeds through a lifetime of memories, pondering how I’ve managed not to lose sight of my lifetime goal of retaining the joy from my earliest knowledge of self. Life hasn’t been a cake walk and gratefully so. It’s contributed to the deeply broad and beautiful landscape that I’ve been blessed to witness and participate in. A lifetime’s worth of travels and cake and miles and school and business and more. The spectrum of participants has never disappointed. My Brother @stevenkellye called and shared the meaning of 44. Year 40 was a year of clarity and double 4’s of 44 means double clarity.

Cheers to clear eyes!

Under siege from within. The clock of disenfranchisement has been restarted. Mobilization is a must but the people will speak soon. As the grandmothers say, “just keep on livin’!”

Tennessee’s single black voting district is no more. Gerrymandering crimes are happing all over the south. We need help. Rights and representation are being stripped away as the nation is celebrating 250 years of independence. The irony couldn’t be higher!

An incredible time was had in and around New Haven! Here are some of my favourite photos in the first of a few posts.

Possible Futures and Lauren (@possiblefuturesbooks) did an excellent job during ‘Kennedy on Connecticut Time’ with their daily write-ups on Instagram.

We were unreasonable in so many ways, and I lost track of how many different people helped load, unload, and move the letterpress.

In light of America recognizing 250 years of Independence, we must recognize that this nation exists on the spirit of reform. As we, in yet another moment, are in need of dire change, collective action which got us here is the same energy that will get us to our next vista. Reform requires acts of solidarity. We are the change!

50% off everything — celebrating the launch of WeType.

Use code WeType2026 at www.wetype.co

In 2025 we set out to launch WeType, a type foundry rooted at the intersection of Western and Eastern cultural heritage. Our mission is to shift the center of the narrative by amplifying typographic voices that are too often overlooked.

In just one year we released 6 typefaces — two superfamilies and four display fonts — each shaped by research, culture, and craft.

We believe type has the power to restore, reflect, and reimagine culture with purpose.

Explore the library and celebrate the launch with 50% off all fonts.

Cheers 🥂
