@sarahpelletier.bsky.social's talk is about the misogynistic humour in *The Printer’s Miscellany*"
It was advertized—but crucially only twice!—as half price for women (50¢, same price as for boy apprentices).
No female names appear in the list of its contributors.

Dropped by @skeuomorphpress.org to check on @transbookhistory.bsky.social’s community print for Trans Day of Visibility & found it bustling, full of kids & families happily setting wood type & printing these incredible broadsides. If we founded Skeuomorph for anything it was for events like that

Check out this (only moderately embarrassing) video of me showing off the @ransomcenter.bsky.social’s small but mighty collection of hornbooks.
Stick around to the end to see an exciting new acquisition. (And tell me if you’ve seen another like it.)
