Archive.org is facing a lawsuit
tldr: the Internet Archive/WayBack Machine is super important in term of archived content, billions of stuff are on there, and with the current event happening in the world like stated above,without this tool, it will be hard to properly document what took place. It will be easy for certain people to rewrite history. Dont let them.
DONATE HERE (post dont get much exposure with working links sorry)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IF YOU CANT DONATE THEN PLEASE SPREAD THE INFO
On twitter,tumblr,facebook,heck,anywhere you want,this needs to be talked about !
they’re being sued due to putting together an “emergency library”, essentially, in the wake of schools and libraries closing due to covid-19.
you can read about it in a few places. here’s one article on the subject, but there’s plenty to be found.
Hey I just went to look to see if there was any new developments since this was posted (June 2020), And the actual trial as far as I know will begin around November 2021. So this is still relevant. Archive.org Blog | Publisher’s Weekly
comprehensive list of things I’m allergic to:
tumblr’s “your fav is problematic so I must VOW TO HATE THEM FROM NOW UNTIL ETERNITY” culture
tumblr’s "I am not even 1% problematic” culture
tumblr’s “wow look the media is so biased and puts so much spin on everything and we are angels who don’t spin at all! we are beacons of unbiased knowledge!” culture
tumblr’s “wow this person is so wrong so I MUST SEND THEM TWELVE THOUSAND ANONYMOUS MESSAGES TELLING THEM TO DELETE AND DIE” culture
tumblr’s “THIS PERSON IS THE BEST PERSON EVER THEY ARE OUR QUEEN OUR KING OUR SAVIOR AND CAN DO NO WRONG” culture
tumblr’s inability to see things in not black and white
tumblr’s inability to recognize that people can change and grow–moreover, their inability to acknowledge change and growth as legitimate
tumblr’s inability to perceive complexity
sometimes I have seasonal allergies when the weather changes dramatically
When men say, “I only fuck girls with tight pussies.”
Do you know what a tight pussy is?
An un-aroused pussy.
Your sex game weak.
Bye.
I’m glad this sentiment is gaining traction. Spread this shit like wildfire.
otp: both have a severe case of abandonment issues that they don't discuss and use anger or jokes to avoid talking about them.
me: yes...
otp: hate and annoy each other at every turn and have an overtly antagonistic relationship yet have more in common than they think.
me: niceeeeeee
otp: form a begrudging friendship that they deny to other people while still obviously caring about each other.
me: incredible
otp: fall in mutually beneficial love where they unconsciously help each other become better people just by being together.
me: I WILL FLIP THIS TABLE RIGHT NOW!
This made me cry. Why are we making it so hard to get educated in America?
Just to expand on this post about calling 911 and asking for a pizza to secretly ask for help:
The post is based on a Super Bowl commercial, which itself was based on a Reddit post that’s never been verified as true.
There is no actual pizza code with toppings and shit that dispatchers are trained in. If you come across someone who has heard of the commercial, they might understand. If you come across someone who’s never heard of it, they might think it’s a prank call and hang up on you.
A piece of actual advice to help you in this situation is to dial 911, then hang up without speaking, then turn the phone off. 911 will attempt to call you back, and when they’re unable to reach you, they’ll dispatch a unit to your location under the assumption that you need help and your call was interrupted. This will work 100% of the time, whereas the pizza trick will only work if the dispatcher has heard of the commercial/urban legend.
Also, the toppings thing was a complete and total fabrication and whoever wrote that should be ashamed of themselves, tbh.
It’s possible that the toppings thing was something that a clever dispatcher thought of on the spot, but it’s certainly not some standard code.

@deathtodickens this is your professional field, correct?
Yes, I am a 911 dispatcher and this is not great advice at all. It will not work 100% of the time. It probably won’t even work 10% of the time.
(1) Every agency handles 911 hang up calls from cellular phones differently and because we receive thousands of them every month, we do not always respond to them. My agency, for instance, does not respond to 911 hang up calls from cellular phones with no disturbances heard. We call back twice and if there is no answer, we leave a message and we put in advised calls. WE DO NOT RESPOND. We are not a large agency and I can almost guarantee you that larger cities probably have a similar policy.
(2) Even if we hear a disturbance, there is no guarantee that we know where you are. Never believe that your GPS information is readily available to dispatchers - this isn’t CSI - it’s not that easy. Sometimes all we get is a very generic location (usually more than a 1000 meter radius of the cell phone tower your phone pinged off of). We can ping phones but that doesn’t always work ESPECIALLY IF YOUR PHONE IS TURNED OFF. Some cell phone companies do not provide historical location data. Many will not give us information if there is no obvious sign of an emergency. At most, they might have your subscriber information and hopefully you keeps yours up-to-date.
(3) If you’ve called 911 before or had police respond to your residence before, there’s a chance we can look in our own CAD systems and find your location based on prior calls. But, like I said, we won’t do that if there’s no obvious signs of an emergency. Also, A LOT of domestic violence victims have non-working phones with no actual cell service attached that still have the ability to dial 911. In those cases, we don’t get an actual phone number on our screens. We only receive a generic 911-area code that can’t be called back or traced and 80% of the time, they don’t have good location data.
(4) Any time you call 911 - START WITH YOUR LOCATION/ADDRESS and LISTEN to the dispatcher. If you want us to come to you and FIND you, we need to know where you are. Agencies are more likely to respond to you if you call 911 and say your address and hang up than if you say absolutely nothing at all, hang up, and turn off your phone. I cannot even stress to you how appalled I am at this advice.
PLEASE do not do that.
(5) We trust our guts more than we trust your voiceless 911 hang up call. We talk to domestic violence victims every day, some days every hour. We know when something is wrong. If someone calls in on 911 and starts insistently ordering a pizza (yes, it has happened), rambling on as if speaking to a friend, or barely talking at all, we’re not just going to hang up on you. We’re going to start asking yes or no questions because we answer thousands of 911 calls and we know when something sounds suspicious. We know when something sounds very wrong. We know when you’re in a tight spot and you can’t say more than what you’re giving us.
(6) I obviously cannot speak for every center and every dispatcher. There are bad batches everywhere. I know because I’m the one who has to write them up when they fail to do their jobs or see the urgency/importance of the jobs that they are doing. So will this always work? No. Nothing about calling 911 will always work. It will never be 100%. Law enforcement agencies are underfunded, our equipment/tech is miles below subpar to what you see on TV. Cellular phone companies don’t make it any easier for us and guess what - that little section of your phone bill that says “911 tax”? That money doesn’t come to us.
So no, it’s not always going to work but I can guarantee you that what I've written here will work better than calling 911, hanging up without saying anything, and turning off your phone.
There is no universal 911 policy.
Every agency is different.
For the love of God please do not tell victims of abuse to call in voiceless 911 hang ups. If you can stay on the phone, stay on the phone. If you can leave an open line, leave the phone on and put it somewhere close. If you have a home VOIP phone, keep your address updated if you move. If you have a cell phone, keep your subscriber information current.
And the absolute safest way to call 911 and pretty much guarantee that we’ll know where you are and respond, is by calling from an old-fashioned landline or payphone.
Finally a version of this post that actually seems to be factual.
I may be dead, but I’m still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.
