🚧 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.
Visit https://kentuckyhealthjusticenetwork.networkforgood.com/projects/245678-urgent-help-us-fill-trans-health-advocacy-program-requests to donate."
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.

#yesbot #nobot #noarchive I'm in my 20s, as a Computer Science researcher (Not in "AI" 🙄).

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 . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake
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.
