When all the lawsuits start coming from students rightfully claiming defamation because there is no way in hell this won’t follow them, I hope the states and schools behind it flounder hard.
And yet I have to be sad that those same states will take the money from programs that need them instead up upping taxes on the wealthy.
Anyway, Free Palestine and remember that bullets don’t care if you’re a politician or not

Typography Tuesday
MORE PRINTING WITH WOOD TYPE
One of my students sent me more images today from our letterpress venture at Team Nerd Letterpress for my History of Books & Printing course a couple of weeks ago. You can read more about the excursion in a post we did last week.
Shown here again are the type cases we worked from; setting and locking up the lines of type on the press bed; inking the type in blue and pulling a proof; then inking the type with a crazy kaleidoscope of colors and pulling multiple prints in rainbow colors.
That image of a sideways face after the line "the spaces close in" is a linocut portrait that Team Nerd proprietor Adam Beadel did of me years ago -- when I still had hair.

Several hundred NYU students, faculty and supporters are rallying in Washington Square Park after last night's mass arrests and destruction of the Gaza solidarity encampment, April 23.
The plaza is barricaded and NYPD is stationed at the entrance of every building on campus.

Protests that oppose and disrupt the status quo, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence.
Nothing will change until the entire rotted fascistic system is brought down.

Obesity: The Science, Culture, and Politics of Fatness in America 
In Fall 2023, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's course on the science, culture, and politics of obesity worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials.
Most of these items were from the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.
These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

M. L. Holbrook, Eating for Strength (New York, M. L. Holbrook & co. [c1888]). Library of Congress. 
The 1888 edition of Eating for Strength, a popular 19th century work on diet written by Martin Luther Holbrook approaches food in a scientific manner, outlining the dietary needs of various classes of people and looking at the healthfulness of various foods. This book includes information about food and diet in relation to health and work, together with several hundred recipes for different foods and drinks. All of these tables illustrate the protein, carbohydrate, and fat content of some of the most common foods that characterized the diets of that era. This underscores how even over 100 years ago, these three macronutrients were seen as important to monitor in order to curb obesity.

Keeping Your Weight Down (Westfield, N.Y. : Welch Grape Juice Co., [1921?]). Janie Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.
Published by Welch Juice Company in 1921, this recipe book called Keeping Your Weight Down suggests that Welch's Grape Juice can aid in weight maintenance, and emphasizes its importance in influencing desired health benefits with their beverage. The monochrome-purple book cover showcases an idealized “thin” model covered in loose night clothing, examining a weight scale. Inside, “Pudding and Desserts” recipes are listed in sections with the usage of Welch brand ingredients. Framing grapes as dessert, often eliminated in dieting practices, allows for the luxury of sweets within the strictures of losing weight.

Ruth West, Stop Dieting! Start Losing! (New York : E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1956.). Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive. 
Although Ruth West’s Stop Dieting! Start Losing! was a dieting recipe book published in 1956, the artifact has a startling resemblance to modern attitudes about weight, despite the huge body of research conducted on obesity since this time. Today, It’s easy to laugh at slogans like “how to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week” and “16 foods for sex appeal and vitality,” but how different are these claims from those we hear today from diet magazines, social media and even our own medical professionals? Is the rigor of evidence from then to now all that different?

Papermaking at AP3!
A couple weeks ago and even this past Tuesday, we showed you how, after students in my History of Books & Printing class (INFOST 603) read about the invention of type and letterpress in Europe, we went down to Team Nerd Letterpress, set wood type, and printed a poster. Last week, after reading about the history and technique of hand papermaking, we took a field trip to Anchor Press, Paper, and Print (AP3) in the Riverwest section of Milwaukee to engage in some papermaking.
First, AP3 president Marilyn Propp demonstrated hogging the vat, using the deckle, dipping the screen, pulling a form, and couching the paper onto felts (here's a glossary) -- top three images. Then Miria tried their hands at the process, with much success (next three images). Afterwards, it was a free-for-all, with everyone making paper for the next hour and a half; here in succession are Anna, Caring, Adam, Georgia, and Catherine (with Taj in the background).
The last image is of some still-wet paper forms on felts (actually, synthetic pellons), with attempts at inclusions and paper lamination. The students were clearly exhilarated, and everyone went home exhausted and happy!

At the University of Texas at Austin, dozens of local police and state troopers formed a line to prevent students from marching through the campus, eventually clashing with the protesters and detaining multiple people.
And at the University of Southern California, police removed several tents, then got into a back-and-forth tugging match with protesters over tents before falling back.
Keep fighting. Keep resisting.

Argentinian Public Universities are in Danger!
Due to lack of funding, public universities in Argentina are in risk of closing. Over 2 million students are about to lose their access to free education.
Here is a link to a petition on change.org to help. It's just signing and it only takes five minutes!
If anyone knows more resources to help, please reblog with the links!
