Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I’m thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.
Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically.
Commenting just to say this post aged extremely well
It be how it be sometimes.
Considering the precedents in the US, any books about gender, sex and history.
I really hope archive.org has a backup of itself somewhere.
I remember reading somewhere that there are copies of bits of archive.org distributed across the globe, but the majority of it is in US data centres. It’s incredibly big, though, so it’s hard to just take a copy of it and move it somewhere else.
What the fuck, man
Gonna get downvoted for this probably but I honestly don’t care. I’m so sick and tired of hearing all the negativity and attacks and unrealistic over-the-top doomsday scenarios, from both sides. Regardless of who won, life is going to continue on just fine. The full on meltdowns are getting so damn old and it’s just tiring.
“Life is going to continue on just fine” - unless you’re a woman (bans on contraceptives, loss of bodily autonomy), queer (rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ people, penalizing even talking about them), non-Christian, a minority…
