I give it three months tops before a data breach leads to a public figure in the UK being outed for visiting niche porn sites because they uploaded their ID in order to access it and the site’s data security is absolute dogshit

at a conference I attended recently, a researcher pointed to the difficulty of finding material in archives because so much depends on the metadata and the terminology used to describe things changes over time. “it would be so helpful,” the researcher said, “if I typed ‘lesbian’ into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships’”

which is what tag wrangles at Archive Of Our Own do incredibly effectively: searching for “omegaverse” also leads to “alpha/beta/omega dynamics” and “alternate universe: a/b/o” and so on. but ao3 achieves this frankly incredible categorisation and indexing system by the power of countless volunteers putting in hours and hours of unpaid and unthanked free time, and it’s completely understandable that most archives do not have that kind of infrastructure, but also how incredible that a fan-run website has better searchability, classification, and accessibility than the library of congress

“When I tweeted about AO3’s tags a while back, I received many comments from people wishing that their professional tagging systems were as good, including users of news sites, library catalogs, commercial sales websites, customer help-desk websites, and PubMed (the most prominent database of medical research).”

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Saying this right fucking now.

I don’t want to see ANY of you touching that fuckass new Harry Potter series.

That woman has set us back YEARS. YEARS. And whose money is she using to do it? People who continually support her and her sorry excuse for a book series.

If you simply must watch it? Pirate. It’s not hard.

Do not give her money. Do not give her a platform. Do not contribute. Please.

Just wanna jump off of this post to remind y'all of three things.

  1. Anti trans legislation was recently passed in the UK as a direct result of JK’s funding
  2. She has stated that she takes any interaction with the Harry Potter franchise as an endorsement of her views.
  3. The only reason the new series exists is because JK threw a hissy fit over Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and I believe Rupert Grint all disavowed her transphobia, so she remade the series.

“average Mandalorian has 1.2 clones” factoid actualy just statistical error. average Mandalorian has 0 clones. Mandos Jango, who has two hundred thousand clones ready and a million more on the way, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
