I've thought often about these materials I found in the Eames papers at the Library of Congress. I hadn't before heard about this organization — but I love their whole vibe and curriculum: from cardboard carpentry to stamp-printing :)
I have some of those 1970s 📚 on cardboard furniture, but I was unaware of their cnxn to the 💐Workshop for Learning Things 🛠️, a Whole Earth-y resource + learning center for teachers (same as the 60s Ctr for Understanding Media, predecessor to my old dept @ The New School!)

Als ich nach der Ausbildung meinen ersten richtigen Anwaltsjob hatte, habe ich die ersten paar Monatsgehälter für Stühle ausgegeben: der Panton Chair von 1955 war einer der ersten (oder der Eames Plastic Armchair als Schaukelstuhl [RAR] - das weiß ich nicht mehr so genau).

What a novel concept. I guess in response I would say "if Eames wants equal pay, they could simply pretend to be a man and go by the pronouns given to them based upon that presentation." There I fixed sexism, right? of course not. Silence or the closet are not options, they are both the same prison.

On the subject of MPs and chairs I wonder if the general public knows that every MP in Portcullis House sits on an Eames Vitra EA219 chair like this. Yours (via this website at least) for only £2,750.

Wrap-Up
My October was a month of surprises. There were books I was a little disappointed with and a couple that I enjoyed way more than expected.
My top read for the month was The Accidental Medium by Tracy Whitwell and the narration was brilliant by the author herself!

Today I’m idly wondering what the Eames kids and grandkids have been up to in politics lately.

so the mc's character dynamic is (it has to be) inspired and informed by the arthur/eames ship from inception. and it definitely is a scifi novel but it carries a (high quality) fanfic vibe with it that made it really fun for me. and maybe also made it easier to get attached to the characters?
Finished Prophet by Helen Macdonald and Sin Blaché
WHAT A TREAT, loved the characters immediately and got really attached to them. the mystery too, i would've liked more details on some stuff but it was such a fun read that i don't mind at all lol

I finally got the other album by The Eames Era on CD. Their first album, Double Dutch. I love the design of the insert and CD and case on this one!
I haven’t listened to it yet but who is Gabby?? “Dear Gabby” is a song on their second album, “Heroes and Sheroes”. 🤔 #TheEamesEra

I finished A Harvest of Hearts. It definitely lived up to the promised Howls Moving Castle vibes. I really enjoyed it. I liked the FMC and following her story was lovely and I thought the magic system was unique. #booksky
