Weeknotes: March 16–20, 2026

For this week only, It This Something? is reimagined as a zine! An assignment for my Publication Design class prompted this exercise which, apart from scanning the end results, required no computers or electronic devices of any kind. I spent a very pleasant Saturday morning with my Olympia manual typewriter, Polaroid Sun 660, date stamp, X-Acto knife, cutting mat, rubber cement, a couple pens, and my overburdened paper morgue. It was quick and messy, and therefore well outside my comfort zone. Many thanks to my instructor Ingrid Ankerson for fostering the opportunity and to my friend Nick Azzaro for encouraging me not to bail on it when I was about to pivot to something different. I also made a classic black and white photocopied edition, but opted to scan the original version for this post.
