Here's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize

I made some more custom emojis during the weekend. Flags because they are easy.

various Identities
                       
various Orientations
           
     

The feminist icons are now also under various Politics, so they don’t mix with the typo.social icons

@eWalthert Great!

We have a side project called Monico. It’s an icon pack fine-tuned for Graphik.

Last week, I thought: “Hey, if I use this circle with this arrow, I can design the male gender sign. And with this cross, the female one.”
Then: “Wait, I need Transgender too. And Intersex, of course. Maybe Genderless and Non-binary as well.”
“Oh, and perhaps some planets. Like Saturn or Jupiter. (And the Pluto one. I like this one)”

A few seconds later, I told myself… I’ll do that another day.

true HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment this morning: over the holidays, my sticker guys were having a special on red octagons, so I designed and ordered 250 "Slop Sign" stickers — but while I was in China, someone stole them out of my mailbox. Bummer, I figured; they probably trashed them as worthless. anyway while walking to the subway I FOUND ONE OF MY STICKERS STUCK TO A MAILBOX! Whoever swiped my stickers is sticking them up around the neighborhood! This is the best thing that could have happened!
