π¨ Help us save history before it's gone! πΎ
LGBTQ+ history is at risk. Materials are being erased, resources removed, and stories lost. Thatβs why weβre preserving queer historyβbut we need your help. If you have:
π° Old LGBTQ+ newspapers, flyers, or zines
πΈ Photos from past Pride marches, protests, or events
ποΈ Event posters, programs, or memorabilia
π Copies of government research or records
Send them our way!

Please edit/repost this #WithAltText as I would like to boost it. Here is a quick rough draft
> Picture captioned with "Help us save history before it's deleted" and depicting a pride-themed loading dialog with a status "Queer History Is Downloading". There is a speech bubble with a pride-themed heart and another caption that reads "archive.lgbt"
@lschiff
Oh, I think thats the first time I see a tinyurl link in the fediverse. Posting the direct link would be transparent and should work with the character limit of 500 per post (if not set higher by your instance) π I also checked it twice but only get an error. Is it really the correct link? Reading the words in the directed URL it seems to be wrong or scam π€
@archivelgbt
A very important project in such a messy and fragile time. But I'm missing a direct link in your post π And with a βhttps://β the link in your profile gets clickable π€«
Do you want paper stuff and if so whereabouts are you based? There's quite a lot of 1990s UK queer-related papers in my loft somewhere, and there could easily come a point when nobody wants it, either when I'm dead or when I decide to have a clear-out.
Thanks, useful to know!
In Deutschland nimmt z.B das FFBIZ-Archiv

Materialspenden an.
If you are in Germany, there's a joint archive project in Berlin by FFBIZ-Archiv, Spinnboden Lesbenarchiv and Magnus Hirschfeld Gesellschaft that also collects material on the history of LGBTQ+
@archivelgbt true; nowadays facts, or at least the informations about them can be changed for all with a few lines of code
Attached: 1 image sooo,... #google will change the name to #gulfofamerica i guess it has never been easier to change facts; it is quite #orwellian, isnt it? all at the tip of a button #fahrenheit451 #googlemaps #trump #maga #gulfofmexico #code #it #meme #mamema #memes #orwell #1984
@stragu Thanks for the Alt4Youβ―π.
