Please Welcome Edith Zimmerman to the Site
Hello everyone. I’m going to be traveling for a few weeks and have invited my friend Edith Zimmerman to guest edit kottke.org while I am gone. Edith was the founding editor of The Hairpin (RIP), wrote a profile of Chris Evans that broke the internet a little bit, and most recently was Drawing Links (on hiatus). You can buy greeting cards featuring her drawings on Etsy. She starts tomorrow — I’m very excited to see what she’s going to do with the site. Welcome, Edith!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to complete an item from my bucket list: going on a walk with Craig Mod and Kevin Kelly. I will see you back here in mid-December. 👋

Hi! I'm excited and nervous, and I hope I don't drive everyone away! Have a great trip, Jason!
Hi Edith! Exciting! 😄
Welcome, Edith!
Hi, Edith! Excited to have you here 👋
Have fun, Edith! (Have fun, Jason, too, I guess!)
@Edith, come on down! You get to AirBNB a great place!
Welcome Edith — I love your drawings for The Small Bow. And Jason, I am very jealous of your walk with Craig and Kevin. Enjoy!
I very much second that jealousy right there. Walking with Craig and Kevin should be a very special thing indeed. Looking forward to a pontential post about that experience!
Also: Hi Edith! Lovely that you are taking care of this ship! Enjoy!
Welcome, Edith! No need to be nervous, you're gonna to do great.
Thanks, everyone! I'm psyched for tomorrow.
Also the title of this post is happily reminding me of the 2015 "Please Welcome to the Stage..." vid by Lara Marie Schoendals... https://youtu.be/A42LFnMcFao
@Jason No waaaay! Surely a legendary walk ahead. Amazing. Deep happiness for you. ☺️
Hi Edith, welcome to the party! Looking forward to seeing what you share ✨
Excited to have you!
Edith!!
@jkottke Hope you have a wonderful trip (walk). I don't know either of those two personally, of course, but from their bodies of work, should be a treat. Excited to hear what you pick up.
@Edith - Welcome! Looking forward to what you plan to bring.
Hello Edith!
And omg @jkottke, Craig Mod, and Kevin Kelly on a long walk together? How do I buy that book / watch that movie
@jkottke, it's so great to have an artist in residence here. Have a lovely journey!
Edith, thanks for taking over. Don't hesitate to zhuzh this place up!
Have a great walk, Jason. What a great way to spend 10 days! And welcome, Edith, looking forward to your interim rule.
Have a wonderful walk, @jkottke!
They’re lucky to have you on the walk and we’re lucky to have Edith here, hope you both have a great few weeks 🙌

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
