We love libraries of every shape and size! 📚🖤 If not for the work of many librarians, researchers, activists & archivists, so much important movement history would be lost. "The Library Is a Commons" artwork is by @erikruin.bsky.social up on @justseeds.bsky.social #NationalLibraryWeek

Finished printing (the front of) the Altar of Speech

Currently listening to “Cloud Prints” from Walt McClements’s forthcoming ‘On A Painted Ocean,’ all breathtaking swirls of accordion and organ and horns, a bit elegiac without feeling maudlin. Bonus points for stunning cover art by Erik Ruin. @westernvinyl.bsky.social @erikruin.bsky.social

Finished printing the right panel of the Altar of Speech last week. 7 layers of what will be a 15 layer silkscreened double sided triptych, depicting censored prison communications, campus Gaza protests, wobbly free speech strikes, etc. a reaction to the right wing attempts to coopt “free speech”
