I'm in love with this cartoon "The Octopus" from the Moody Bible Institute Monthly, December 1925

Wonderful. Not quite the same, but here's an elegy for a worn-out font of type, from The Compositor's Chronicle, 1 May 1842. The first two stanzas:

A bottom margin of a manuscript with a rectangular piece of parchment sewn onto it. You can see the stitching clearly.

A medieval Post-it note (well, actually a Sew-it note!)

A piece of 13th century parchment with some additional info sewn onto a margin of an 11th century Martyrology.

BnF Latin 9085

You see a black square representing the nothingness that was prior to the universe, printed in a book with a wood block. The book titled Robert Fludd "Utriusque cosmi maioris scilicet et minoris metaphysica..." (1617), Access the page: https://wellcomecollection.org/works/gbbychu2/images?id=gzy3gujm

You see the printed black square from a page in Robert Fludd's "Utriusque cosmi maioris" (1617) that represented the nothingness that was prior to the universe. The square is framed by four sentences in Latin: "Et sic in infinitum" (And so on to infinity). #earlymodern #skystorians

Finally assimilating this obit and this loss— a poet & critic meet in an Indiana elevator, and together reshape the fundamental structure of literary criticism and, in the process, the general ideological field of the world. What a beautiful legacy. RIP.

Personally I think satire is an important form of deprogramming! Mocking and marginalizing conspiracies often works better than debunking or debating them.

Looking through Arthur Symons' Aubrey Beardsley books at the Lilly Library today, and came across A Coat in the 1905 edition (J.M. Dent).

Where can I get this coat? Where can I wear this coat?
Anyone know this coat?
Please advise. #ootd

let me follow with an observation from peacebuilders and scholars of Peacebuilding: enduring peace and safety for people lives in little acts, in the small habits of daily life that build safety and care for others. these often take profound bravery but require no bravado.
