( The long way to a small angry planet )

( Twilight Robbery )

Via cosmolinguist, I thoroughly recommend An interactive introduction to the terrific experience of rendering Arabic typography and its technical debt by Khaled Hosny, who at 23 1/2 is a terrifyingly brilliant writer. Even if you think you are not interested in Arabic typography, it is 8000 words of the most stunning prose I've seen in a long time.
