I woke up this morning ready to punch Nazis

Every year, UPenn has a Humanities Forum meant to showcase the value of the Humanities to critical real-world issues. The topic of this year's forum is the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

To be clear: Free Palestine!!

For the record, the court in Frankfurt wouldn't allow Waters to perform in their city, and Poland didn't even let Waters go to court. They were like, "Fuck Nazis, and fuck you specifically." But now he's coming to UPenn, I guess.

ETA: Sorry, this is something that goes without saying for me, but perhaps it's best if I do indeed say it out loud: The vast majority of Israelis find the occupation of Palestine to be wretched and vile and want it to end as soon as possible, so the problem with inserting antisemitism into pro-Palestinian activism means that you're refusing to cooperate with the millions of Israelis who have a direct stake in the matter and are capable of taking more direct action (as they did in gigantic sustained nationwide public protests this past summer). In other words, it's counterproductive and betrays an attitude that Palestinian lives are only valuable inasmuch as they exist as symbols. Also fuck Nazis.

Halloween Greetings
https://kayleerowena.itch.io/halloween-greetings

a font made of lettering from 1920s halloween cards. doesn't include numbers, because i couldn't find any cards with numbers on them. does include alternate variations for each letter & some fun decorative flourishes (mapped to the numbers and some punctuation symbols). might not look great at large sizes, because by the time i realized the resolution on the halloween card images i was grabbing letters from was pitifully small, i didn't feel like going back and redoing all of them. they won't be blurry or anything, but they might be a little more noticeably wobbly the bigger it gets. maybe you like that vibe, though. i don't know your life.

I collect fonts like crows collect coins, but I especially love this one.
