During the school semester that finished earlier this month, at one point I had some downtime after a small group Biology project a few classmates and I finished up early. I had just read this article¹ about how most people can’t tell what double storey lowercase g looks like so I did some tests on my classmates on a whim. None of them could write it and one of them didn’t believe that it was everywhere until I pointed it out in a textbook. They could all identify it, but they didn’t seem to recognize it as distinct from the single storey variant and didn’t realize how common it was.

Anyway, it’s really unusual how people can see writing multiple times every day in a language they’re fluent in and not know it exists.

A while ago I posted about the legendary #Duralex glasses from France, and how the workers, facing possible bankruptcy, decided to turn it into a cooperative rather than accept being sold to investors that wanted to fire a third of the people. Well. They grew their revenue by 22% and plan to break even in 2027. They crowdfunded emergency funding, planned to be €5M which they had to stop when €20M was pledged within 48 hours. YES!

Ever wondered how I create labels with the exact shapes of screw heads?

I use the "Schraubenkiste" font, perfectly designed for this task! Found it a few years ago and it's been super handy.

Grab it for free under the SIL open font license at: http://www.peter-wiegel.de/Schraubenkiste.html
