Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts, Houghton Library. Minimalist on even days, maximalist on odd ones. Don’t lick green books. https://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.social/post/3ll4xhd4zec26@podsaveamerica.crooked.com Could you guys do an episode asap about the upcoming April 5 protests? Here in MA, Srn. Markey has called for 100000 people to gather on Boston Common that day! Maybe you could interview him.24 Mar 2025 14:23 +0000at://did:plc:dfwimj2bmg3ted5jyrjdyrlr/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll4xhd4zec26https://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.social/post/3ljszic6qy223TIL that our government thinks the term “cultural heritage” is woke.

I joined this space last year but only now does it seem to be taking off. Here’s some beauty.14 Nov 2024 00:04 +0000at://did:plc:dfwimj2bmg3ted5jyrjdyrlr/app.bsky.feed.post/3lauks7tw4i23https://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.social/post/3kd6ct5gbn62z"Colour lithographs, called chromolithographs or oleographs, were developed in the second half of the 19th century. Although popular, they were of generally poor quality." --Encyclopedia Brittanica online. This is some very outdated classist print connoisseurship baloney.

Allie Ward of @ologies.bsky.social is one of my fave listens and this brilliant interview with W. Scott Poole about monsters is more than worth a listen. This is how it is done, imo.27 Oct 2023 03:50 +0000at://did:plc:dfwimj2bmg3ted5jyrjdyrlr/app.bsky.feed.post/3kcpefd4yya24https://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.social/post/3kbxk3jrtmk2nHappy 1st work-iversary to me! I've currently got a popular exhibition in the main gallery, a guest lecture next week with a waiting list (!), a fabulous new assistant curator starting in a month, and about three thousand emails in my inbox. Seems about right.😅17 Oct 2023 16:28 +0000at://did:plc:dfwimj2bmg3ted5jyrjdyrlr/app.bsky.feed.post/3kbxk3jrtmk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/bibliomolly.bsky.social/post/3kbvyqwq4iz22Behance (n.) 1. A website that pops up on my Pinterest feed and shows me the most marvelously designed books I've ever seen, none of which appear to actually exist in real life. 2.

I blame @typepunchmatrix for their new catalog, which introduced me to illustrator Dora Wheeler (who has a page) and Mary D. Brine, who did not.

(Until we get wood type I'm embracing #tinyprinting projects). A bit like pamphleteering, but with slips of paper or tear-off fliers.
