Tilde Lowengrimm<p><span>I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the </span><a href="https://infosec.town/notes/9yq5evnupxu5kimp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>cultural works to which we don't have access</span></a><span>. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.<br><br>As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that </span><a href="https://bookwyrm.social/user/tilde" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>I</span></a><span> </span><a href="https://infosec.town/notes/9va6bfhaztq44230" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>like</span></a><span> to </span><a href="https://bookwyrm.social/user/tilde/goal/2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>read</span></a><span> and </span><a href="https://infosec.town/notes/9zxd4kwjkfcqehz3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>organize</span></a><span> </span><a href="https://bookwyrm.social/user/tilde/books" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>books</span></a><span> so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn &amp; practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of </span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>communities</span></a><span> out there to help and share strategies.<br><br>But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of </span><i><span>librarianship</span></i><span> rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class.
