Thanks to a wondrous episode of the Criminal podcast, I've learned that American Prison Newspapers, 1800s–present, exists. They've scanned prison newspapers and made them available online.

Find the prison newspaper archive here: https://www.jstor.org/site/reveal-digital/american-prison-newspapers/

Criminal podcast episode 'The Prison Newspaper': https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-226-the-prison-newspaper-7-7-2023

OK here's another half baked #MastoDev idea for #LinkedData:

a URL can be used with a preceding hashtag to refer to some specific entity, whether it's a well-defined #RDF object or not:
eg.
Banana:
#https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q503

identifiers can be given shortnames like this:
#Banana::https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q503

or with wildcards, eg. for this podcast:
#CriminalPodcast::https://thisiscriminal.com/*

so then when I search #CriminalPodcast I also get all posts that use that URL. shortnames can be retained and reused either just by the account that declared them, or by the instance.

shortnames can be used like prefixes, so eg if I do:
#schema::https://schema.org/
#skos::http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#

I can then do
#schema:Person
#skos:sameAs

So then I can declare types like this:
#schema:PodcastSeries::CriminalPodcast
and make triples like this, eg. in case someone used a different hashtag:
#CriminalPodcast::skos:sameAs::Criminal

so then when you search a hashtag, at the top you would be shown all the links that have been declared for that and who declared them, so you could eg. browse to find more things with the same type, or more hashtags that are related to each other, etc.....

@seb's new custom #emoji for the #sfba instance is Palace of Fine Arts in SF :palace:

❓ What have you done or seen there ❓

My last time there I saw a live performance of the podcast Criminal with Phoebe Judge, co-created by Lauren Spohrer. https://thisiscriminal.com/

I will bore you rigid about #dogs, specifically #force-free #rplus dog training and you will like it. I will also go on about #interpreting and #signlanguage and how good and important these both are #deafpower. There’s a good chance I’ll mention #brighton, #kermodeandmayo, #criminalpodcast and #taskmaster. But I am more than just a collection of hashtags, I am also a dingbat who will misplace things.
