what do you scroll for? what are you looking to find? — text over a photograph of a deer standing in snow, seen through a shower window lined with bottles of shampoo and soap.
PLATE IA CURIOUS DEER

Most popular links from the Delightful community

This is an archive of links sent in Delightful, my more-or-less weekly newsletter on creativity, strategy, and other stuff that blows my hair back.

To be honest I didn’t even want to write this intro, I wanted to just have that photo of a curious deer. But the robots were tirelessly insistent that there be something here, lest the other robots be confused and categorize this as an authoritative domain on cervidae. Which would be a good goof. The only way to have special places is to hide them these days, you know.

Alas. We’re here, you and I together, at different times, server requests passing in the night, because we’re looking for something: Inspiration, advice, torn notebook pages from the intrepid internet Shackletons who went snowshoeing through the wintry domains long before, whatever. Regardless, I earnestly hope you find what you’re looking for. Even though, of course, the fun part is the searching, which is delightful and which never ends.
