Really enjoyed this piece: "Why Do Archivists Get Rid Of Things (And Enjoy It)?"

One of my jobs is helping folks work with our catalog's data and it's been very meaningful to help the archivists identify things to weed and open dozens of feet of shelf space. This piece explains some of the reasons why it's necessary (and can feel good).
@OldBrushNewPaper y también buenos días!
@oliverdadda @essentiallygrey@disabled.social you can see a list of active groups on the guppe server, though unfortunately it doesn’t let you see any of the posts so you just have to guess based on the names: https://a.gup.pe
if there’s a group missing that you’d like to create, you can create new groups just by @ing the handle you want to to use for that group! so the first post to mention @test automatically caused that group to be created
@Rionnal good for them
#StarWars peeps, come and look at this amazing fanvid by ExtraPenguin: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42901995/chapters/107782347
"Start A War", about Palpatine and all the wars he's started. A perfect song+theme choice, and a really well-made vid as well. (Disclaimer that it's done by a fandom friend, but it really IS that good.)

A not-so hypothetical question
If you were to lock two actual, off-duty clowns in a closet, and they weren't allowed out until you answered all of your questions, what would you ask them?
Season 2 of #2ClownsInACloset starts recording soon, and I need more questions!
Please reply and give me some things to scrawl on note cards for our performers to talk about during the upcoming episodes.
For all the details, and season one's recordings:
#Ao3TagOfTheDay Long-Distance Relationship, kind of, they are from entirely different worlds so it probably counts as a long distance relationship
@godtributes @aescling definitely not a noun tribby
@being thank you for pointing this out!
i do think from a moderation perspective it’s helpful to have your users mostly speaking languages the mod team speaks — eg, if you receive a moderation report for a sexist post and its in a language you don’t speak what are you supposed to do? rely on google translate & hope it captures all the nuances? try to track down someone who *does* speak the language & reveal potentially sensitive info to them?
but the solution should be to build multi-lingual mod teams who can handle those sorts of situations, not to have an all-english fediverse
