Printed a tl;dr letterpress summary of my @jepub.bsky.social piece: "[Academic] Rigor's bullshit & you know it". Planned a print w/more explanatory text but will be post-Vandercook access so did this for now. www.amandavisconti.com/2025/01/18/o... cc @walshbr.bsky.social: I made some for next Praxis

Photo of a letterpress print made on 9" by 6" brown cardboard stock that's had a slightly gradiented light mauve background rectangle inked on it. The foreground is printed in opaque black ink: a diagonally striped rectangle framing a tiny window displaying the tiny text "Rigor's bullshit & you know it"; carytids flank the sides of the rectangle.
