Hey um, I'm not dead, I just haven't had the motivation to post 🙃 Watching life become an actual cyber dystopia has been really depressing.

If you haven’t started already, start archiving/downloading everything. Save it to an external hard drive if you’re able. Collecting physical media is also a good idea, if you’re able.
Download your own/your favorite fanfics. Save as much as you can from online sources/digital libraries. Recipes, tutorials, history, LGBTQ media, etc. It has been claimed, though I can’t find the exact source if true, that some materials about the Revolutionary War were deleted from the Library of Congress.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry and save and preserve what you can. Remember that cloud storage also is not always reliable!
- Library of Congress - millions of books, films and video, audio recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps, manuscripts.
- Internet Archive - millions of free texts, movies, software, music, websites, and more. Has been taken offline multiple times because of cyber attacks last month, it has recently started archiving again.
- Anna's Archive - 'largest truly open library in human history.’
- Queer Liberation Library - queer literature and resources. Does require applying for a library membership to browse and borrow from their collection.
- List of art resources - list of art resources complied on tumblr back in 2019. Not sure if all links are still operational now, but the few I clicked on seemed to work.
- Alexis Amber - TikToker who is an archivist who's whole page is about archiving. She has a database extensively recording the events of Hurricane Katrina.
I'll be adding more to this list, if anyone else wants to add anything feel free!

In the short time we have before trump is put back into office, I would suggest buying, compiling, and reading as much theory literature as you could.
Buying physical copies is always the best option, as they can’t take those away from you. If you need a digital version, it’s best you try and find a free copy or pdf you can download instead of buying it on a kindle or other online book market.
Collect and Share whatever interests you. Queer Theory, Race Theory, Political History, Anti-Facist fiction, anything that catches your eye.
The best way to prepare for a fight against facism is to be knowledgeable.
Rage at injustice is universal. The ability to strike back is not.

We lost the fight. It was a big fight, but it's not the end of battle. Do what you can if you can. Get out in your communities, organize! If you've got two like mined friends and yourself, you've got a resistance.
What can you do.
.Radical acts of kindness. Set up a food drive or deliver community care kits to your local unhoused population (I'll post a video a little later) Deliver food to the elderly. Volunteer at a shelter or kitchen.
. Stock up on plan B and contraceptives. Even if you are not sexually active these are tools you can use to help your community.
.scrub your social media. Get rid of anything with your name or face attached. Switch to talking to friends and colleagues on encrypted messengers like Signal or Telegram.
.Use your skill to educate. If you are tech saviy, teach your high-risk friends about data security and protection. If you have the training and knowledge teach people about self-defense and what recourses they have available, should they find themselves victimized.
.get involved with local politics, go to your town hall or city council meetings. Sit in on school board meetings. Be loud, be firm, and don't let groups like "Moms for Liberty" control the narrative. Shine lights in dark places and let the roaches crawl.
.Resist anyway you can think of. You are smart. You know your role in your community and power structures better than anyone else. Trust your instincts, do what is right.
.Most importantly, LIVE! sometimes existence in the face of adversity is the most radical act of all. Stand in the sun, be with loved ones, and enjoy being alive. Be loud, be boisterous, and remind them you exist. Living is fighting.
We will make it through this, don't give up.

Carol the Puspin Cat is a Cyborg in a Cyberpunk Japan. She’s a Japanese Cyborg Cat due to Japanese and Cyberpunk Motifs.
