Zu Beginn des Angriffs Russlands auf die Ukraine 2022 sah ich ein Foto eines Soldaten, der gestorben war, ich weiß nicht mehr, ob Ukrainer oder Russe. Ich weiß nur noch, dass der Soldat so jung war wie meine Söhne.

Ich denke an diesen Jungen, stellvertretend für alle anderen Menschen, die in diesem und anderen Kriegen leiden und sterben. Täglich. Kein Tag vergeht ohne einen Gedanken an ihn. Und kein Tag vergeht ohne Abscheu vor denen, die dieses Leid und Sterben zu verantworten haben.

Hallöchen!

This Just In: Punk Flyers of the Bay Area

Our new collection of flyers offers a visual explosion of the 1970s–80s punk scene in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco.

#LoringEutemey’s copy of the #PLINC One-Liner catalog is now in the cherished possession of our own @fhardwig. Several of the fonts used by the NYC designer were thus identified by consulting the very same book from which they were originally selected. Here’s his logo stamp, designed around a stylized ‘e’, with the bar representing his moustache.

I recently discovered the American Antiquarian Society’s Farber Gravestone Collection, with 13,500+ images of lettering, skulls, rubbings, and generally great gravestone graphics. Better yet, it's all methodically cataloged and browsable by theme, location, date, stone carver, etc.

Do yourself a favor and set aside some time to browse through it all.

There’s also an introductory essay about the collection with lots of background info (PDF):

Farber Gravestone Collection

The Boston Public Library (USA) has digitised its collection of legacy vinyl (crackle and hiss and all) at the Internet Archive, and it's the absolute epitome of a 50s–70s library record collection.
