Tuesday, Wednesday, and today all felt like Friday when I woke up, which says a lot about where my energy level is at. Almost there. Almost there…

Our excellent & fun social media person joined the “this is who […]” trend with people’s childhood pictures, and this was mine 🤣

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.

🔎 Rare 18th-century punches used to create the original Baskerville typeface have been digitised and released online.
Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Yes! We have all day to talk about work, but lunch and post-work convos should be fun and… not work!

I am happy to talk about Alysa Liu, The Traitors, Survivor 50, drag, real housewives, Punch the monkey, and Nancy Guthrie conspiracies

It is an act of domestic terrorism to talk to me about WORK while I’m eating lunch, especially because I can’t eat in the privacy of my office since I work with rare books 🥲

Talk to me about fun things or not at all!

Expedition 33! Your gommage year

I always feel weird about stuff like this because while I have four degrees and nothing but respect for learning, intellectual curiosity, training, etc, neither of my parents have college degrees and they are not MAGA or idiots.

There is so much you can contribute to society w/out a college degree

Original of a page from Nancy's Magazine shows bits of cut up paper with typed text that have been glued to graph paper. Page also includes some handwritten text and drawings and white outs over errors.

Published version of the same page (white out and graph paper are no longer visible).

Talking to students this week about physically making zines & sharing some masters & printed zines of Nancy's Magazine so they can see the process of creation for this pub. Love the use of graph paper, white out, & glued bits of paper.

Thinking about you and the kitty ❤️

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

So good

I tried to reverse this tendency with a group of book arts interns I had in the past and we started with quills and manuscript illumination, then moved to printing.

"now I can make multiple and give one to my boyfriend" one said when we moved to printing -- mission accomplished!
