Twilight of the Velocipede: Typesetting Races before the Age of Linotype

Before Linotype revolutionised typesetting in the 1880s, compositors set texts by hand — and they set them fast. Alex Wright rediscovers the thrilling world of typesetting races, which drew crowds in the thousands, offered huge cash prizes, and helped women "Swifts" fight for workplace equity.

Pushing Back on Chrononormativity — personal reflections

I learned the word ‘Chrononormativity’ from the third chapter of Sherronda J Brown’s Refusing Compulsory Sexuality. (it’s a really good read, you should check it out.) In RCS, Brown discusses how asexuality, by merely existing, stands outside of chrononormativitiy. I’d never heard the word chrononormativity before, but I instantly understood it. I’ve been fighting against it for most of my life.

"Entre todos los homínidos, los Humanos o Homo Sapiens, somos los más “lamentables”, en comparación a nuestros primos más cercanos. Sin carras para defendernos, colmillos para rasgar la carne, pelaje para combatir el frio, [...]. Somos dolorosamente conscientes de esta debilidad, es por eso que nos buscamos entre nosotros."

- Sangre & Ceniza (Ensayo"

"Among all hominids, humans, or Homo sapiens, are the most "lame" compared to our closest cousins. Without claws for defense, canines for tearing flesh, fur to combat the cold, [...]. We are painfully aware of this weakness, which is why we seek each other out."

Social Revolutions of my Life – Anti-Capitalism & Class Consciousness

This post is Part 3 of a series on social revolutions of the past 30 years — where public consciousness has massively shifted in favor of liberation. My aim is to create space to pause and acknowledge how things have changed in ways that once felt impossible, remind us that things can always be otherwise. It is inspired in part by Rebecca Solnit’s 2016 edition of Hope in the Dark and David Graeber’s 2007 essay “The Shock of Victory.” Feel free to check out part 1 and part 2. [...]
