Are there any online #DnD groups who play on Twitch or Discord or similar, allowing newbies & interested individuals to watch a one shot campaign? I help run a youth club for autistic kids and some of our older members (teens to 30s, age rating 15s+) would love to observe without the pressure of taking part. Pref Ireland based but any sound recommendations valued. #MastoDaoine #DungeonsAndDragons #RPG #Ireland #DisabilityDnD

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”

My thesis is simple:

PKM should be taught alongside foundational literacy in mathematics and language, and treated as the most fundamental of all learning environments.

"Regulatory capture isn't automatic: it's what you get when companies are bigger than governments.

Question for DH community: is there a taxonomy, glossary, or extensive list of digital humanities output forms (e.g., corpora, datasets, models, visualizations, etc.?)
