How might I review all staff posts and comments published since late September?
If that's not possible, then how about just the posts?

This is nowhere as streamlined as Glorfindel's answer but have you tried looking at their accounts and checking the activity tab? (All activity)– curiousCommented Dec 20, 2019 at 14:58

1@curious it'd be rather tedious to check all 248 of them– Glorfindel ModCommented Dec 21, 2019 at 19:11

It's hard enough already to generate a list of staff members, but I guess you could use the API to get a list of recent posts and recent comments (those calls support pagination). For each new 100 user IDs you encounter, request the complete user record. Those contain an is_employee field, indicating whether a user is a staff member or not. This might be doable before running out of your daily API quota (10000 if you have a registered Stack App).
It's not possible to make a SEDE query for this, since whether a user is an employee or not isn't stored there. But, if you have a list of user IDs, it's doable.
Here is a list of posts since September 28th:
and here a list of comments:

Thank you. Can you think of a way to write a feature request? If I'm interested in viewing your posts, I can click on your username, click on "Activity," and then choose "All." The most recent items will show up first. But for staff, we're talking about multiple users. Would a collection of links to each staff post and comment have to be made manually?

7Stack Exchange is about the content, not the users. That's probably why it isn't possible. Sure, here on Meta.SE staff posts carry more weight, but searching for staff posts isn't a frequently occurring use case, I guess.– Glorfindel ModCommented Dec 19, 2019 at 15:21
