We are halfway into Aortic Disease Awareness Month! I had zero risk factors but still had an aortic dissection w/ almost no symptoms (9-inch scar mostly covered by my hair). If you have chest/jaw pain, see a doctor! Shout out to Dr Kahn for saving my life. https://t.co/V2vLrcWPoq

Garfield is a very cute flower! Vote for him!
Today is the last day to vote for Garfield in his vet's office Halloween Costume Contest so if you are on Faceboon, please head over to their page & give his photo a like!! Feel free to re-tweet as well. (The prize is a $100 credit for services and it'd be really helpful) THANKS

We put up our Halloween decorations, including this tombstone (that reads Dead Body, btw) painted by my bf's kid about 15 years ago, and Phemie has been insistent on sleeping in front of it.

From The Inland Printer, May 1959. I totally missed the opportunity to talk about Garbage Disposal Italic with my typography class last week.

Every day, my boyfriend takes a photo of my cats waiting for me to come home. P.S. I wish we could clean our windows.

I had some students in today looking at Mr Wing's scrapbooks, and they loved his Gallery of Religious Hypocrisy (1902). My favorite clipping is about a man who tried to shoot a pastor because a funeral sermon was too laudatory about the deceased. #NewberryLibrary

This is super exciting!
Hey, @artistbookhouse has a new building, 4207 W Irving Park Road in Chicago. We will be renovating it asap so we can finally be an actual functioning book arts center. Stay tuned! (and if you can donate, that will be a huge help, thanks!)

Jen Farrell at Starshaped Press has some new prints that are based on publishers bindings and are pretty incredible. This one is my favorite: https://t.co/wSgD6TjsmT

Ok, this is a terrible photo, but there is a 1768 Bickerstaff's Boston almanac on ebay and I cannot figure out what is going on in the crotch area.
