Print is Life. A new translation from the French. Thursday, in Souciant.
Great writeup. I wish I had more to say. I read this last night when it appeared on my feedly and I'm super glad to see you posted it. Fucked Up and Photocopied looks amazing. I just bought it to go with my new coffee table in my new apartment. I love shit like this. The thing about paper is it makes it real, somehow. It's the reason I still buy and read physical books even though I have a Kindle. Being required to carry physical papers is an entirely different beast. It implies stupidity of the carrier and the technically inefficient bureaucracy that is forcing them to carry.At a time of all things digital, the requirement is of course contradictory seeming, as unavoidable as it still might be.
When these means of oppression fully transfer into the digital realm, I wonder how the language will change. Maybe we will simply start calling our ID card or username and password "papers". Sort of like how "file" means a unit of digital information, not something you put into a filing cabinet. On a more optimistic note, the countries that the OP applies to would do well to learn about Estonia.
