Things I Like(d) - Issue #20 In These Uncertain Times ⏳
I figure "these uncertain times" are as good a time as any to share some of my favourite timepieces and pieces on time. ⏳⏰⌚

I've been working away on the details of a "secret" society dedicated to the pursuit of boredom since last summer. With any luck, it'll launch in the next few weeks. For now, I've been having fun teasing out our manifesto over on Instagram. This little number was a fun one with some obvious relevance to the times...

BONUS/More shameless self-promotion
I've thrown this design up on Redbubble in a few different formats...but I'd be just as happy to work out a way to get you a locally produced/printed copy (and with a special "subscriber's discount" to boot!).
