Will die on niche hills, windows always open.
Libraries, archives, preservation, art, turtles, Chicago, bricks, the desert.
It's my time to shine! My lo-fi solution is to use towels or similar and roll up. Another towel can be put down to protect the spine.

Oh ok "but no works of art were affected" just papers. Have fun with your "art" when there's no provenance documentation.

We’re at the “liberal white home owners have professionally designed yard signs warning about ICE” stage of outrage in Chicago.

I mean, this Chicago common brick mortar is a crime but otherwise…

For years I’ve had this brilliant print by my dad (in 2007!) and every time I look at it I’m like, hoo boy yeah. And now I’m like fuckityfuckfuck.

NU’s Herskovits library has decades of Drum magazine and they are great - come see them in person!

Hi yes I’d like to report a crime. 🚨

Painting over all that brick and terra cotta details is an historic preservation felony.

Just thinking about these books that came my way at work a few weeks ago. For no reason. At all.

I only make fun of someone's looks when the inside matches the outside.

I didn’t win anything but a good time with friends tonight.
Pretty sure there were bingo balls missing.

Some people call them type specimen books, but we call them-

As my brain and body process,
my current direct rage is that we’ll have to see these stupid fucking words forever.
