[mod Note] Part Of The Reason Why I Do What I Do Is Because The Importance Of This Type Of Information

Automated book-culling software drives librarians to create fake patrons to "check out" endangered titles

[mod note] Part of the reason why I do what I do is because the importance of this type of information becoming a part of popular culture and consciousness isn’t theoretical to its survival-it’s essential.

In other words, if we’re not talking about it, it can cease to exist for not just you, but other people. Some databases are set up in such a way that “unpopular” material is culled automatically.

I won’t let this information die.

This is true for people of all marginalizations, in all types of informational and educational curation. How can we prevent a system designed to cull the disenfranchised from our own pages from doing so? How can we make these marginalized histories and non-dominant narratives survive?

These are the questions I’m asking myself as we enter into an increasingly hostile world this year.

Before then….?

Before….

Well surely shipping wars didn’t exist before the internet-

I want to know who it was that said that Lan only love once. Lan Wangji only loved once, but unless I am very mistaken, it isn’t stated anywhere that it was a common or expected thing.

Reminder that there is no "Lan Love Curse" when we only get two supposed tragic stories (Qinghen-Jun and Lan Wangji where both are through Lan Xichen's point of view on a relationship he knows nothing of) and are only told that despite being very monk like, they seem to be a very romantic sect underneath the stoicism, and Wei Wuxian finds that charming between all it's thousand of rules
