Cover of Insufferable Tools: Feminism Against Big Tech by Sarah Sharma. The cover features an emoji face on the body of a man in a suit. The emoji is wearing sunglasses and laughing. The background fades from bright green to yellow. All text is black, all-caps, and sans-serif. The main title spans the top half of the cover, and the subtitle is below it. The author's name is at the bottom on either side of the suit.

How often does one receive a hand-written note from an archivist? π₯Ήπ It tells me βthere is a also a selected list of housing facilities toward the end of this volumeβ after I just requested a copy of TOC.
