In advance of World Typing Day on Wednesday, January 8th, artist Sheryl Oring penned an op-ed in Common Dreams examining why a typewriter resurgence matters for democracy. From Taylor Swift to Tom Hanks, these machines are reemerging in popular culture, signaling a collective search to break free from toxic screen-based communication. To mark the day, register to join her virtual performance where she and other typists will type and send your message to President-elect Trump, extending her I Wish to Say project that has transcribed 5,000 messages to presidents from Bush to Biden.
