One of the (many) problems with my institution's email filter is that I work in special collections that include many records of religious organizations, and I don't actually know based on just the subject line "MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY" whether or not it's really spam

Weird query, but are there Actual Play folks who: - record remotely - would be willing to send a high-res photo of their recording setup - would be willing to have that photo used in an academic book? (Happy to cite)

"Death is not an edge case" from @ukglo.bsky.social is a must read for anyone thinking about preserving records of communities in the 21st century. Invaluable insights on digital legacies and also a whole Memento Mori vibe for us folks who grew up with the web -> www.flickr.org/death-is-not...

A bunch of new UFO docs were just declassified and if that's your thing sure, cool, but for those of us in graphic design, especially tabletop design with a very specific zeitgeist in mind... y'all.
