Random thing from the shut-in cat

Hi, you may call me masked, kit, or Ninja Kitty(N.K.) and yes, I also go by doddlepandakat. Break that up how ever you want. The things that i will be posting are Nature related things, art that i believe needs to be seen, Safety things, and random fandom junk that i'm into.

GUYS STOP REBLOGGIING THIS

[wildwren]

hey, if you're a usamerican getting the news, not knowing what to do, this is really really really good time to get acquainted with the national council on independent living, the independent living movement, and your local centers for independent living.

independent living centers provide services and support by disabled people for disabled people and can help with: navigating systems, self-advocacy, and accessing services, among many other things. in their truest form, CILs function not in the model of state agencies, but as a form of structured in-community mutual aid. my local CIL provides services like counseling, advocacy, grants to cover some home needs, and meals on wheels for disabled adults under sixty-five. CILs can't fill all the gaps in services we have in this country, but they do important work to keep people alive. if you need help, your local center for independent living may be able to help. if you can give help, your local center for independent living can definitely use your help!!!!!

please do reblog <3

I haven’t slept in three days.

I’ve been working around the clock to back up over a petabyte of research data and records and articles from the National Library of Medicine before it gets attacked by that elongated dipstick and his gestapo squad. Trying to get copies of every federal research program’s data before it gets destroyed in the crossfire. I hope to God that it won’t, but I have no confidence that it will be safe. Lots of copies keep stuff safe.

[horse-is-a-horse-of-course]

Census Bureau data that breaks down the schedules of historical census records? Gone. NIH research into anything containing the word “diversity”? At risk of deletion. I am working so hard to make sure that some glimmer of what we know is preserved before something truly terrible happens to this knowledge.

[lunar-songbird]

Is there any way for others to help?

That's a hell of a lot of information to save...

[horse-is-a-horse-of-course]

Following the LOCKSS ethos, you should see if you can contribute to the Archive Team’s distributed computing download of every federal database.

Archiveteam

[zoanzon]

I had a longass reply written out and then my phone fucking ate it, so let's try this again...

For anyone concerned about all the other federal sites, go look at what r/datahoarding is up to! Members have been backing up the entirety of data.cdc.gov or the HOAA + NIM + EPA + Deprtment of Education websites.

Outside of Reddit, there's groups like the End of Life Web Archive, the Harvard Law Library Innovation Lab, the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, and other groups. They've been backing stuff up since last year to get ahead of the writing on the wall.

For people wanting to try and contribute their own efforts, what OP posted right above is excellent for that! ArchiveTeam Warrior helps Internet Archive get stuff backed up using your own devices to help split up the work. The setup has a lot of steps, but this post gives a good breakdown as to how to go about it. It'll take up some network bandwidth and storage space on your device, but it looks to be pretty automated once it's all set up.

But yeah, as it was decades ago we say it again:

[tehnakki]

Archiveteam Warrior has an option to use a VirtualBox appliance. Download and setup took less than 5 mins and now my laptop is backing up US govt Files!

This is a good option if you have unlimited home(or school) internet. If you have a set data limit though make sure to check back mid month to make sure it's not putting you in an awkward spot for the rest of the bill cycle.

The Stanley Parable (2013)

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf

[cop-disliker69]

A little context for those who don’t know: recently a woman was arrested by the Iranian morality police (who enforce mandatory headscarves and other theocratic policies) and died in custody. This has sparked massive protests across Iran.

[qwertyu858]

And she wasnt even arrested for not using the hijab but bc she was using it "incorrectly". So she was even following the law and still got killed.

They have also tried to claim that she died from natural causes, even when she was 22. And they realesed a very fake video as evidence of that.

[aftabkaran]

THIS. For the love of every thing that is good, if you considered yourself a feminist or a progressive of any sort, support Iranian women. It’s not complicated what is happening. What’s wrong with you people.

i think we should take the watcher!grian headcanon and make it just an accepted part of his friend's lives because its way funnier than it being a big angsty secret

[lostspirit101]

Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird
