[dragonretirement]

hello gay people in my phone, there's this 2-player letter-writing rpg that i've been DYING to play with someone. it's called "finding aid" and you play as a researcher and an archival subject, communicating with each other imperfectly through historical records. just reading the rules makes me feel absolutely insane... like look at the first part of the game!!

The National Archives has launched a new web-based finding aid featuring digitized historical photographs from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) records. There are currently over 18,000 photographs included in the finding aid, and there will be more to come, as our staff digitizes and makes available more of these unique historical images. This new finding aid allows the user to sort by Tribal Nation, by state, and by topic. Visit this wonderful new resource here and let us know what you think about it!

But I am also trying to keep my sanity by doing my job, for it gives me great pleasure, and I’ve begun to realize that it may do some service in reminding people about the positives from time to time. So that we can…
