But you can't convince me that you have a 1st class relic of like, the Desert Fathers, or Mary Magdalene, or whoever. No you don't. It was too long ago, people's bodies are of finite size, and too many ppl claim to have these relics. I will agree that's what it says it is, though.

Honestly like take 2nd class relics of, eg, Venerable Mary Aikenhead
Recent enough that they're verifiably hers & that a lot of her personal effects survive
1 habit = a LOT of 5mm² fabric squares to put inside reliquaries

I work in several Catholic religious order archives and you would not believe the sheer number and variety of relics any given one has ... so many relics, all classes
And we have to keep them or dispose of them appropriately since they're holy
But there are SO MANY

The balcony above mine has something wrong with its gutters, so every time it rains hard they overflow and dump an excess amount of water onto my balcony, which my balcony drain can't deal with, so every time it rains hard I have to go out and remove the drain grate lid thing so it doesnt flood 😩

Alt: A close up of a rusty metal roof with the words "Marge! The rains are here!'' written on it. Water droplets fall on the roof and a man in jeans but no shirt rushes into the house, in the Australian outback. The camera pans up, showing a classic Australian windmill and a clear blue sky above the roof, to 2 1990s styled children standing in the upstairs window, eating juicy corn cobs and dropping the juice on the roof.

You are heat sealing your object _permanently_ into a cocoon of rapidly degrading plastic which will become gross and yellow and perhaps 🤢 sticky 🤢 somewhere around 10 years from now
Which is fine for "TOILETS THIS WAY" and so on, but not for your diploma or newspaper or photos.

If I had a buck for every time ive had to metaphorically yank people away from "we should laminate it so our grand kids can see it etc etc"

I'm a nuanced anti-laminator (new phrase right there, eh)
Laminating is good for making signs and name cards and stuff like that, when the thing needs to be relatively waterproof short term and perhaps writeable on with a whiteboard marker
It is GARBAGE for historical preservation

Oh boy "Why is iron gall ink corrosive?
The formation of the iron-tannin complex releases sulfuric acid, so iron gall ink is always extremely acidic, with a pH of 1-3."
