Just got this notification that academia.edu has used AI to make a podcast of an essay I wrote 45 years ago. They do NOT have my permission. Cease and desist, academic.edu. Cease and desist, blast you.
When I started the Endangered Alphabets Project, the first book I read was Amalia Gnanadesikan’s The Writing Revolution, and it was the most valuable thing I could have read. The second edition is now out, and I advise everyone interested in language and writing to order it .
Coming up on Sunday: the next Script Keepers meetings. If you care about preserving minority cultures and want to offer your skills, check out endangeredalphabets.com/2025/02/26/lau… for info and registration.

Involving Pippa alongside VIEWS friends Alice Mazzilli, Pule kaJanolintji, @EAlphabets, Chris Miller and @hhpapazian. Graffiti as cursive and writing and place, from South Africa to Athens to China, Prague and Vermont, from Indonesia and the Philippines to Yerevan.
My next book, By Hand, explores the values--and the mysteries--of handwriting, and to understand my subject, I wrote it by hand. It is now available for pre-order at shorturl.at/NQOwk , and anyone who pre-orders will get a FREE digital copy of Writing Beyond Writing.
This monogram is a gift for one of the longtime Endangered Alphabets researchers. Can you identify the script, the letter, the country of origin or the wood? Hint: you may find useful information in the Atlas of Endangered Alphabets at endangeredalphabets.net.
The Script Keepers Network is my attempt to bring together people from around the world who want help with their threatened scripts, and people who want to help. See more at endangeredalphabets.com/2025/02/26/lau… and join us if you're interested!
