🚧 What do dancing babies, "under construction" signs, and bubble-gum-blowing Furbys tell us about digital preservation? In the latest essay for the Internet Archive's Vanishing Culture series, writer JD Shadel explores the rise, fall, and cultural legacy of early Internet GIFs—and why they matter today.

Boosting a message from the Kentucky Health Justice Network
"The surge in requests to our Trans Health Fund is real. Gender-affirming care is life-saving, and we’re committed to ensuring it remains accessible for all Kentuckians.
Sponsor a month of our increased needs with a $2,000 contribution or sponsor a packer for $25, no donation is too small. Stand in solidarity with trans lives today.

@lunalapin what does that even mean?? 😵💫
JFC I’m down to my last $100. Welp time to start lowering my job standards :(
I’m not sure what to do at this point but here’s my ko-fi just in case anyone is feeling generous.
The ONLY effective next step to stop America's systemic racism is Reparations for Black Americans.
No corporate buzzphrase or inclusive pizza party will have any meaningful impact until reparations are paid.
Read "The Black Reparations Project" by Sandy Darity to get on the same page as Black Americans.

it is my firmly held belief that @suricrasia knocked it out of the park coining "langle mangle" as a derogatory term for LLMs and I really hope that becomes common terminology
DEI literally never existed.
As far as I'm concerned it was never anything more than a corporate buzz phrase and a handful of pizza parties.
It had minimal effect on Black employment and had no impact on the absolute collapse of Black business creation(as measured in loan activity and VC dollars).
In real terms Black Americans did worse during the DEI era than before. DEI was lip service to distract from the fact we were loosing significant ground and still are.
recounting a DEI department experience
@nullagent only DEI head I ever met got fired by her white higher ups, she was a black woman put into a powerless boxticking role for her administrators. So if anything my experience around formal DEI initiatives was "the DEI head is being harassed by old white men until she gets fired. Then the old white men pat themselves on the back."
There is also a playlist for all of my David Wilcock YouTubePoop style edits. So you can watch them all on autoplay in order. Get yourself some ancient aliens goodness.

I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! Since starting this channel I have created a Patreon for supporting me and my family so I can keep putting out these videos. In addition there is a higher tier for accessing the (small) static source files and the kdenlive project files used in the edits, for those looking into example usages of Kdenlive video editor for these kinds of edits. It means a lot to me if you can share this around and also check out some of our other related videos.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life .
If you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
