The situation in Tripoli requires urgent action by the international community to prevent further casualties, arbitrary arrests, and the escalation of violence by some groups against the migrants.

Sorry for the absence, think I just needed a break (been a rough year so far)-gonna try to get back into the swing of it!
To start, have to share this excellent 2-part video on the various 'global' aesthetics of the 1990s, including many we study in CARI

Nice to see some publicity for @EAlphabets's Red List project. This is hugely important work - have a read and you'll find some interesting food for thought too (and the opportunity to help!).

We are looking for contributors to our 'Your Stories' feature. Do you have some interesting experiences with language and writing? Have you used multiple writing systems, or learnt a minority writing system? All suggestions very welcome!!

I didn’t get to see the Prague National Museum @narodnimuzeum Cypriot antiquities on this trip as they’re currently in storage - but I did find a great catalogue, including this exceptionally smiley Bronze Age plank figurine, which I hope to meet in person one day.

Rice paper, stitched binding, hand-written Chinese, Phaistos Disc and a Linear B tablet. This 1927 book by Jiang Shanguo who tried to see the origin of Chinese writing system in a global context is one of the most beautiful book I have ever seen this week. @crewsproject

I'm struggling to think of anything quite like this in linear-looking writing systems like the Greek or other related alphabets but I'll have to look out... So exciting!

Great seminar from @BGarnand just now. Look at the 'typography', for want of a better word, in these inscriptions! I love the Greek alpha styled like the symbol of Tanit in the one on the left (NAN), and the outline theta-pi-alpha in the one on the right.

Was kind of mad researching my ancestry and finding out that we were mega-rich before some knob frittered it all away, until I found out it was THIS KING!!?! He spent my inheritance on theatre and costume and I couldn’t be less mad. I’ll take poverty for this 1900s photo of him
