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.
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…
This. Women are already literally dying. The first woman (that we know of) to die from the abortion ban happened within just 20 days – before SCOTUS even heard the case that overturned Roe. And her story is a painful, heartbreaking read.
Plus, does nobody remember immigrant families being ripped apart? Kids put in cages? Their “family ID” being – whoops – deleted from the database so they couldn’t be reunited with their parents?
But sure. Life will go on like normal.
