   Folded & assembled proof sheets for Skeuomorph Press’ forthcoming letterpress edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s "A Rant About Technology"—a practicum student created the woodcut illustrations of tech mentioned in the text—I set type for the book & fold-out poster

   I’m still tinkering with ink & paper options & deciding about binding—but seeing it come together as a book made my heart leap—I am grateful to Le Guin’s estate for giving us permission to produce these

     If you’ve never read Le Guin’s "A Rant About 'Technology,'" take 10 minutes to do so—in many ways my whole research & pedagogical philosophy are wrapped up in this short, brilliant text—it’s usually day 1 reading in my classes https://www.ursulakleguin.com/a-rant-about-technology

     If you want to ask "How can I get one of these?" all I’ll say is "watch this space." We’ll probably take pre-orders & then produce the books, up to a pre-set limit—I’m still getting the infrastructure in place but will announce here & on Bluesky
