Letterpress printed pages with the Penguin edition of Benjamin’s book.
The forme of handset type.
It finally happened. One of our fabulous @umdbooklab.bsky.social interns, @isabelleberube.bsky.social, printed (with movable type!) the entire first page of Benjamin’s WORK OF ART IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION. That’s all handset type. They have ambitions to do more. 🤯
The funniest note I've ever found whole processing a collection. Found stuck to a 1990s zine lol
there's always a John Waters quote, it seems
"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

None other than the icon Alex Winter came thru Beyond recently to shout out some favorite films and share insights gleaned from his lifelong passions for cinema and physical media (not to mention a great Lou Reed story).
Thanks for the inspiring visit, @alexwinter.com!

PANEL 1: MATTIE sitting on the floor in front of a bucket. MATTIE: Man, I put all these crabs in this bucket to watch them fight to the top for my amusement… PANEL 2: MATTIE peering in close to the bucket. One claw is raised, holding a little piece of paper folded over. MATTIE: …But it looks like they all just started trading ZINES in there! MATTIE: Kind of annoying. PANEL 3: MATTIE grabs the zine. MATTIE: Hm? PANEL 4: Close up of the zine in MATTIE's hands. The title is STEVEN, THE CRAB DIRECTLY BELOW ME, IS A PIECE OF SHIT! MATTIE: Haha okay this is pretty good

I often wish I had realized I was a woman back then. 20 years ago. 2 decades. oof. It would have been awful, but it would have been another 20 years of being ME.
I kept out of that, I didn't need to be any sicker than I was in those days. Neither did they, for that matter, but. you know. townie crust punks.
