Fishwick Papers: the "You Gotta Strike for your Rights" edition

Well Good Friday to You, My Friday FriendsI had a really fun time in America. I met some amazing museum people, drove in the snow, bought art from a converted cigarette machine, went to Meow Wolf, finished a great book, and happened to say hi to one George R.R. Martin! The talks I gave at the conference went well too, which was a bonus.All of which is to say: here are some nifty things I've found in the last two weeks. I hope you like them, and look forward to sending you some more soon! You can find links to all the previous editions here, and if you have friends who'd like this sort of thing you can send them there to sign up too.I LOVE YOUBYEjim xoxo
