Not at all! Those are a delight and are actually what my wife most frequently uses her letterpress clients. She offers the real deal w/custom engraving + gives the couple the original stamp she uses as a wedding gift...but most people don't want to shell out for that :P

My Tender Matador (2020) Amid political turmoil in 1980s Chile, a lonely former sex worker engages in a risky clandestine operation after falling in love with a guerrilla.

Anyone wanna do a co-watch of My Tender Matador sometime in December?

Oh dang, only just saw this! My wife is a printer who loves the history and culture of the craft, any chance there is a recording available to pass along?

And whenever we would need something (a projector turned on or a door unlocked) my peers would ask me to go ask the librarians for help because I was "friends with them", but I wasn't! I was just polite and the librarians were as excited to be nice to me as I was to be nice to them!

At Starbucks my district team used to meet once a month or so at the local library. Every time we got there I would stop by the desk to say hello, and every time we left I would drop by to thank the librarians for the use of their space. In 4 years I never saw one of my peers do the same.

This may be the best distillation of my personal ethos that I've ever seen.

Yup, released a couple years ago I think. Haven't really followed him, but at the store level he has come up from 3 different people during my training.

They REALLY remember the impact here.

Hiiiiiiiii. Just workin' like a jerk, moved to TJX a month ago, truly impressed how much people are still talking about Albert Gonzalez, btw! But, I recently started taking on workshops again. Did a thing with Sparrows a couple months ago and doing a gratis event for a makerspace up in NH tonight :)

Long prison sentences function as involuntary sterilization of incarcerated people By keeping me imprisoned through the years when I might have become a parent, the prison system reproduces eugenicist logic

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.

They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

Oh I'm so sorry. Losing a reliable medical provider, especially during complex diagnosis is so destabilizing.
