Perfect Friday Thing: Emoji Kitchen
Ok, if you haven’t seen this before (or even if you have), I need to warn you that Emoji Kitchen is just a little bit addictive. They’re mashup apps for making new emoji like these:
Curiously, the eggplant seems to be missing from both kitchens… 🤔
Update: I switched the Emoji Kitchen link to the proper URL at Google. From Jennifer Daniel:
Sadly, the site you link to about emoji kitchen (.dev) is not mine. This developer has taken my artwork without permission 😐 and worse, hosts a repo so others can steal it too
Here’s more from Daniel about the project.

Jennifer Daniel posts about the updates to this pretty often on her Instagram and her newsletter. (But her newsletter is on Substack currently, so I wont link to it).
Last I heard, these sites used their emoji illustrations without permission and Jennifer wasn’t very happy about it. Curious if that ever changed.
I just asked Jennifer and she confirmed that, no, they don't have permission to use the Emoji Kitchen illustrations. Both Emoji Supply and Emojikitchen.dev hotlink their images from the Google CDN used for Android's GBoard. No copyright intended! 🫠
I've hated emoji's up until this post. My current favorite is litter bin + red heart.

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.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
