Sometimes the art of being a good graphic designer, and other things too I suspect, is being able to explain to someone why you are right without telling them they are wrong.

Two wonderful alt-folk and trad folk releases that I’ve mastered here recently. First up is ‘The Frog, The Mouse, The Ship, The Cabin Boy’ by @bitybooker.bsky.social which is something else. And second is the superb compilation ‘Sing Yonder 2’ curated by @karlsinfield.bsky.social. Big recommends.

Nothing makes me happier than an artfully presented de-packaging photo! Hope everyone's Sing Yonders (Sing's Yonder?) are arriving in pristine condition.
Exciting folkie post! Sing Yonder is a great, long-term (infinite?) project by @karlsinfield.bsky.social to make traditional folk song accessible. singyonder.co.uk/index.php

My day-to-day work is highly contingent on Internet Archive existing.

As a researcher of cross-cultural anthropology, huge amounts of texts and books would be otherwise entirely inaccessible to me.

It’s a treasure trove of all but forgotten documents.
🚨 What happens if the Internet Archive goes dark?

From KQED's new podcast, Close All Tabs, digital librarian Brewster Kahle talks about the challenges of preserving digital history, and why the Internet Archive’s mission matters more than ever.
