New Lovelace book.

An ascii art image of a very young Sandi Toksvig made using a typewriter. The facing page is headed Ethel from 'No. 73' and has row by row instructions for recreating the image on a typewriter, which look a little bit like a knitting pattern. No, I don't really know either, sorry.

"Bob Neill has been typing his amazing pictures for upwards of twenty years. As a result, he has developed a method to make it possible for anyone to create typewriter art of the same quality by following his simple instructions."

You, too, can make a typewriter drawing of Sandi Toksvig circa 1984!

1937 Corona Standard with animal legend keys for teaching touch-typing. The typewriter would have originally come with a set of rings with matching animals to teach which keys to strike with each finger. Only a few original sets exist.

1937 Remington Portable 5, in light grey with color-coded keys for learning touch-typing.

Typewriter time!
Two typewriters from 1937 for learning touch-typing. The Corona used colored keys with different animals to be used with corresponding rings. The Remington used a similar method of color-coded keys, but minus the animals and rings.

Sears Change-A-Type engineering and mathematics kits, made by Smith-Corona for use on models with interchangeable slugs.

A Typit Technical and Scientific Symbols kit. These could be used with any typewriter, but required a proprietary adapter that slotted into the type guide.

Close-up of a Remington Noiseless 7 keyboard featuring mathematical symbols. I should have dusted it before taking the picture.

Well, it's Quantum Day...again.
I don't have a proper scientific engineering keyboard to share, but I do have a Remington Noiseless 7 with mathmatical keyboard that belonged to an engineer with the Canada-Pacific Railroad. Also these Change-A-Type and Typit kits.

#trans #transpoetry #poetry #poem #typewriter

It took astronauts
a goddess
moon crater naming love
to show me feeling small can be
a beautiful thing
testament to how tangled together we are
revelation like David's perfect chord
so full of awe
it soothes the parts of me that shrank for you
stars look small
&break darkness with their light

THE ERASURE & CRIMINALIZATION OF A BODY THE RAINBOW PRIDE FLAG NO LONGER WAVES. IN SOME CITIES, RAINBOW CROSSWALKS ARE BEING TORN APART. THEY ARE MAD AT COLORFUL SIDEWALK CHALK. THEY ARE MAD AT COLOR ON THE GROUND. WHY ARE THEY SO SCARED OF A RAINBOW FLAG? IT IS JUST VIBRANT COLORS SYMBOLIZING THAT WE. ARE. HERE. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE & WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. YOU CANNOT ERADICATE US THE PRIDE FLAG IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT. IT’S HERITAGE, IT’S WELCOME. IT’S SAFETY. & WE WILL CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE THE VIBRANCY OF OUR LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY. YOU ARE WELCOME. YOU BELONG HERE. ON TDOV, ONE OF THE STRICTEST ANTI-TRANS BATHROOM LAWS WAS PUT INTO PLACE. IT CRIMINALIZES ANY PERSON WHO “KNOWINGLY & WILLFULLY.” ENTERS A BATHROOM, LOCKER ROOM OR A CHANGING ROOM THAT DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THEIR SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH. WHICH IS A STUPID FUCKING TITLE. WHY CAN’T WE JUST DEFAULT TO ANDROGYNOUS UNTIL WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DECIDE WHAT WE WANT TO BE? I WAS NEVER GIVEN A CHOICE AS A KID. I WAS JUST FORCED TO BE A SMALL BOY. FIRST OFFENSE: ONE YEAR IN JAIL SECOND OFFENSE: 5 YEARS IN PRISON. THEY CLAIM TO PROTECT WOMEN & CHILDREN. BUT TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, & WE ARE BEING ERADICATED FROM MODERN DAY SOCIETY JUST BECAUSE WE NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. HB752 MAKES IT A CRIME TO BE TRANS IN PUBLIC. IT IS NOT ABOUT OUR SAFETY ANYMORE. IT’S ABOUT USING THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT TO TARGET, INTIMIDATE, & ERASE AN ALREADY VULNERABLE COMMUNITY. IN THE TIMES WE LIVE IN WE NEED MORE COLOR.
