Editor, Handwriting in Early America:
A Media History (UMass 2023)
Feelin' mad hostile, ran the apostle
Flowin' like Christ when I speaks the gospel
Stroll with the holy roll, then attack the globe with the buckus style
The ruckus, ten times ten men committin' mad sin
Turn the other cheek and I'll break your fuckin' chin

I was able to adjust Deez Nutz so that the N is right side up. I now feel much more comfortable with Deez Nutz. I am glad to report that the new-and-improved copies of Deez Nutz have dropped in my store. #letterpress #nogarbagerobots

A different kind of "black page" that has always fascinated me - the ink blot in Ignatius Sancho's Letters - Samcho was a big fan of Sterne

What about without some American studies faculty doing voiceover readings of bawdy soldier letters and court martials to the strains of Ashoken Farewell?!
