Internet Archive

We saw the www.lostlandscapes.org show which was put on to benefit the Internet Archive which suffered from a fire recently. The show featured footage of SF from the 1920s to 1980s. The soundtrack is the crowd, as they yell out recognized locations and ask questions, etc. The Internet Archive (which has the Wayback Machine) is located in a former church. The grand hall is where the show was held, and you can see that the church pews are still in tact. In the alcoves at the back are two server racks which store the master copy of the archives. On the edges are little statues. Those are representations of people who dedicated many hours volunteering for the archive. The one I happened to photograph is Aaron Swartz.

Solidarity Cinema

We believe liberatory media should be as free as the future we struggle toward. We’ll do our best to collectively update and maintain the library and catalog. For now the catalog is updated occasionally, but films are added regularly.

This book is very good. I started it today and was hooked, am about halfway through already. Cooper assesses the ways in which beliefs in traditional family structures underpin the laissez-faire resurgence of the 1990s. Definitely recommend. pic.twitter.com/hPYnom4XGV— Michael Thrower Chowdhury (@BevansAdvocate) September 27, 2026

Vector - The Journal of the British APL Association (WP)

About a year ago, my daughter scanned nearly 600 old family photographs, adding captions to them as she went. This was fine as a start but then I was asked for photos of my grandparents’ weddings there was nothing for it but to...
