Spent last week working on repair and maintenance of Vandercook presses with the man who wrote the book on that subject, @paulmoxon.bsky.social #printing #letterpress #printingpress #mechanics
Sending out the second batch of these broadsides. Thanks to everyone who is helping distribute them. I’ve heard that a few have made it to marches and others are displayed in windows for public viewing. #insolidarity #letterpress #printing #resist #tyranny

Excited to add this Victoria printing press to the First Bite Press studio soon. This machine comes from the Arion Press and will be used for fine press limited edition books. I’m looking forward to the challenge. #letterpress

Sending more hand printed chapbooks and other extras from First Bite Press out into the world. I’m focusing hard on press work the rest of this week as a way of coping. #letterpress #finepress #books #bookarts
Post cards from @offshootworks and the talented @skallenberger who has a letterpress shop over in Oakland. If you don’t have anxiety right now, u may not be human. Do independent research using primary sources, not closed bubbles of info. Fight cognitive dissonance. What are YOUR values? #democracy
Outside the NYC Public Library. My heroes have always been the Keepers of All Knowledge (the term I used with my kids for “librarians”) #banned #books #libraries
artists!⚠️ this is your reminder to back up those couple of brushes you cannot work without. it will take just a few minutes. get them up into a cloud, send them to yourself by mail or something, you never know when software decides to be stupid and you'll need to reset your stuff
Back in NYC for a short trip. Taking my teenage son to the NY Public Library, Grolier Club and hopefully also Morgan Library. “Low key” determined that bibliophilic interests will not skip a generation. Wish me luck! Visiting these rare book institutions will be “baller.” #tryingtobecool #rarebooks
The beautiful work of Clare Van Vliet and the Janus Press on display at the Boston Athenaeum. #bookarts #finepress #books
Found a few books I want to read while browsing the open stacks in the basement of the Boston Athenaeum earlier this week. I could be down there for hours. Bibliophile bliss. #books
Hello Bluesky! I was one of a small number of lawyers who joined Twitter way back in the early aughts before it took off. Joined the mass exodus to Threads (you all know why). And now trying this out.
