French senator Claude Malhuret sums up the world made by the current American administration, 5 March 2025

Also- if its 'extra important' even if only to a select few- torrents are a possibility. But yeah- private archives are important and precious and the only real possibility of owning media or having information in a space not controlled by capricious actors that control the cloud.

i encourage people to start archiving. whatever amount you can do. get a physical hard drive.

documentation of political events (both sides)

resources & information that you access online (don't bank on it staying up forever)

your important documents, photos, etc.

moments of humanity (ex: just saw a video of a nyc subway wall covered in hopeful sticky notes after the election)

culture you want to preserve (ex: like how ppl saved vines back in the day to make vine compilations when it went away!)

your medical records

what will you NEED access to if it's no longer available online?

what will you WANT to show future generations from this historic time period?

this was always important with the fragility of the internet but especially now 💕

conservatives need to get the fuck off of Tumblr, this is NOT your place buddy...
