Pour one out for Google's previous contender, an emoji on the precipice of a bilious explosion and a true joy to rate
As for the tiny kylix, let’s just say it’s been claimed for Cheeriomeikos testing by the smallest member of the household. A million thanks to Marc for helping my kylix dreams come true!
Coincidentally, I’ve been collecting some data on the actual weights of sympotic pottery: what is it like to actually use these as objects? What’s the capacity like? Attic pottery is shockingly light in the hand, and I think this little kylix and I have a lot of experimentation ahead!
Dear reader. Marc made THREE perfect kylices and let me tell you: BYOKylix is absolutely the way to go at a movie theater.
As it turns out, the youth are not using kylices at their symposia any longer. Not a single food safe kylix to be found. That’s when a miracle popped up: a friend of a friend, Marc Zorn, happened to have one spool of terracotta-colored filament.
🏺🧵: I’m just a girl with a simple dream: to drink from a novelty kylix while watching the Odyssey for work. How hard could it be to track down one (1) usable kylix?
Does anyone know anyone familiar with turtles in LA or southern California? Or anyone who might be familiar with more exotic species in parks?

Throwback to 2016 exclusively because I personally would like more excuses to hang out at parties as Medusa and talking up Smilodon, 2026, let’s bring this back
I mean just look at this. Gorgeous stuff. Tempted to buy another one to frame as prints. #aiascs
Additional stars of the book fair: these absolute stunners from Melissa Books, some of the most beautiful kid books I’ve seen
I am sure many of you have written brilliant books and I am sure I will buy them at #aiascs but this is by far my favorite exhibition hall purchase so far
A year on, grateful for what was saved. Heartbroken at everything and everyone lost.
