Help, #DigiPres folks: do you have a "deposit station" for digital content on external devices (HDD, USB, DVD, CD etc.)?
If yes:
1. Desktop / Laptop?
2. Unix / Windows?
3. Offline / separate network? If offline, how do you update?
4. One or more antivirus programs?
5. Other recommendations?
Thanks!

First Friday Meetup, this week! Come make, read, share and chat about zines
It is unfortunately kinda my job to at least understand it (working in digital archives and all that), I can tell you that understanding how it works does not make it any more appealing. It honestly makes it *less* appealing in most cases.
ICE is a reminder that the reason why 15 states once passed laws making it illegal to wear masks while armed was as a direct response to the racist terrorist actions of the Ku Klux Klan.

Excited to finally announce the release of my first ever book, and the first ever book from we here press. It is a pocket-size guide to my archival theories and experiences in the form of essays- some you may have heard in part as lectures, some which are unpublished until now.

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

I have asthma. When you have an asthma attack, you can't pull in oxygen. It is terrifying. If feels like you're going to die.
An inhaler can help, but in a severe attack, it is not enough. You could die.
