The Tokyo Art Book Fair was a wonderland of creativity and inspiration. So glad to have finally attended this annual event (and bring a ton of books back!) Book people: put it on your destination list!

Just bought a book about ramen in Japan, bound in ramen, at the Tokyo Art Book Fair. #ramenhistory is #bookhistory. 🍜

Tokyo never disappoints!

Had a great day at theToppan Printing Museum in Tokyo yesterday. They have a huge, extremely well-done exhibition on the history of printing in Japan, a working letterpress shop, and more (inc. stereotype plates!).

Remy was ready for Wednesday night’s Karmiole Lecture at the Clark Library. #caturday

Just got some late 1970s Kirk/Spock slash fiction anthologies for the collection. Great stuff.

Our ancient love of dogs is really reassuring

#blackcatappreciationday Simone

Finished up my biennial faculty report and had to stop myself from stating that my most prominent accomplishment of the past two years was being reskeeted by @flavorflav.bsky.social #publicenemy #fightthepower P.S. it was!

#InternationalCatDay Simone

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

There is no God, start a literary magazine

A great example of an improvement in telling book history: De Hamel: "Early Christian books...are usually..on parchment (papyrus gradually died out, except in Egypt)." Reynhout: "[parchment] did not supplant [papyrus] until the supply network for papyrus stopped functioning after the 7th cntry"

Having a blast making hectographs and pulling prints on the portable spirit duplicator with @briancassidy.bsky.social and his class at @rarebookschool.bsky.social this week!

#biscuithistory is #bookhistory
