Wowzer! Thanks so much for coming to our Pizzini Press Pop-up at shop two three.

We’re so excited to steward this piece of Richmond history & will continue to share our research as it emerges.

‘til then, you can come and visit the collection in person in our letterpress studio! Signup for a one on one class, a workshop or membership if you’re ready to start printing.

Shoutout to and for pulling this fun exhibition together. And to our friend Richard Bland for donating this piece of history to us.

Protect the air we breathe in Richmond and our surrounding counties!

Did you know that the proposed data center expansion in Varina will add an additional 370 BOX CAR sized diesel generators, on top of 544 generators and 11 cooling towers? This isn’t your papaw’s lil generator- they’re massive.

Currently, Virginia has 10,500 of these generators. According to a new piece in the Washington Post, operating all of these generators for even an hour a week creates the “same public health impact as five power plants”.

The consequences of accepting these generators? Breathing issues— asthma, heart conditions.

The QTS project claims that these generators will only be used as emergency back up power. In VA— where our grid is overburdened by the data center boom— an emergency could be a 90 degree day. We’ve already seen it happen once this May!

They say this expansion can’t be stopped because they have vested interest, but according to a Henrico County Code dug up by , industrial use must not “create any hazardous, objectionable mix or offensive conditions on neighboring lands because of odor, heat, glare, dust, smoke, noise, vibration, wastes, fire, or explosion”.

Do yall think a permit for 370 train car sized diesel generators should be approved? Or does it feel out of line with Henrico county code? Asking for a friend!

A big congratulations to the fine folks at for stopping the approval of a proposed mega data center in Hanover County. Beautiful grassroots organizing and showing us what’s possible!

HAVE YOU HEARD?

Our community fridge is lookin pretty friendly! Join us this Friday for hot dogs (veggie & meaty), popsicles, fizzy beverages and merriment as we celebrate the first stocking of the 15th street community fridge!

The design is top secret (unless you come to our building daily and have seen it being built 😉). Imagine: a beautiful wooden structure to keep the fridge, pantry & freezer protected from the elements, an awning to keep folks dry, space for harm reduction supplies, and some Sesame Street design references?

See y’all this Friday at 6pm!! Bring a food item to help stock!
