This is the author of the small book, "On Tyranny" speaking about this moment and how to address it. Very calm. Reassuring in many ways. Highly recommend. 🌞

I will post my new Resistance HQ bulletin each day at 8PM ET. It is designed for people who don’t really want to watch the news right now or wade through the muck of social media to find nuggets of things that are important. It will tell you what happened that day without the BS.

fix their hearts or die

4 panel comic:

P1: Begins with a caption box. "There's a scene in Twin Peaks - The Return where David Lynch --as Gordon Cole-- utters the words:

Beneath, is a caricatured drawing of Gordon Cole saying "FIX THEIR HEARTS, OR DIE"

P2: Another caption. "Those words have been going through my head on repeat today"

Beneath, a silhouette of my head forms in negative space formed in a pink-red background. Within the head are multiples of the phrase spoken by Cole.

P3: A massive "FIX THEIR HEARTS OR DIE" dominates the panel, formed, again, in the negative space.

P4: Sandwiched between two caption boxes --one top, one bottom-- is the image of a man yelling with unbridled rage.

The top caption reads "so many people need to hear those words with their whole person--" The bottom finishes with "--however, maybe those people are already lost to us"

Love it. Governor Kathy Hocul just sent out a long email to the people of NY. This is one part and I love that she isn't sitting back.

Saw hello to a new acquisition: 1513 Caesar from the Aldine press, with contemporary hand coloring. Also of note:
Extensive notes by Aldus himself (img 2) and Paulus (img 3). We also have ten known owners of this little guy.

I'll get something together soon on my last five years of UCLA Aldines.
