#paperposts — Public Fediverse posts

When I look at the old medium mirror of my blog, 1 post is way more popular than the rest.
It's the one with the Braun design guidelines. My suspicion is that it's folk looking for the Dieter Rams design rules, but this is their corporate guideline, still informed by Dieter.

This has taken me way too long to post about, but with Issue 5 coming on May 14th I thought I share my copies of issues 1-3 of Inscription: The Journal of Material Text – Theory, Practice, History

Including the Folds issue which is mind boggling.

in the early 90s there was a thing called the Anticopyright network. Mostly this was a distribution network for #flyposters (social, political not commercial and gigs). These were basically black & white, photocopies of photocopies to stick up.
Matt Fuller chronicled a lot of this in his Flyposter Frenzy book. they also distributed collections of posters. I found one of them. The fantastic thing about it is that it’s a list of #alttext descriptions. thread #diyculture #paperposts

came across this vision of the future by Dwiggins: The Five Hundred Years: A Time Problem (1941)

looking forward to a "century of awakening", but hope the "machine horde" doesn't get us first.
