Following a recent stock take, I’m discounting all back issues in the BLAG shop to clear the few remaining copies of BLAG 03 and BLAG 05.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone, just like issues 01*, 02 and 04.

*BLAG 01 is now free for all to view on the dedicated back issues page, where paid members can also access digital copies of issues 02–06: https://bl.ag/blag-better-letters-magazine-back-issues/.

Today's test of my humanity got me wondering: why don't we have CAPTCHAs that ask us to select all squares with hand-painted signs in them? Or with ghost signs, or with a sign painter working, or with a mahl stick?

The time has come to end the motorcycle's dominance in this domain and to mirror our species' diversity when we are asked to prove we're not bots.
