  6. Andy Stowers Forest couldn't save his friend. So in 2022 he saved the paperwork instead. Screenshots. Dates. Archived pages.

    That file is why 24 people's testimony reached reporters four years on.

  7. That archive is why twenty-four people's testimony was legible to reporters four years later.
    He also runs a small nonprofit that has helped 25 transgender people get accurate identity documents. On a week when Kansas is voiding licenses, that's not a small number. #TransRights #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Archives #MutualAidIsNotCharity #Solidarity #Journalism #Trans

  8. He couldn't fix that. So in late 2022, with a group of other survivors, he started collecting the documentation instead — screenshots, dates, saved pages, the boring cataloguing of what happened while everyone else was still arguing about whether it happened.

  10. Пишем huntZip — Как я написал библиотеку для архивов на Python

    Hello world! Как то раз мне понадобилось работать с архивами в одном из своих проектов, но тут возникла проблема — Для ZIP тебе нужен zipfile, для какого нибудь TAR — tarfile, а для других (типа 7z и rar) вообще нужны rarfile и py7zr, И из за этого код превращается в не красивый забор из кучи и кучи импортов. И мне это надоело, вот где то 2–3 дня назад я начал делать свою библиотеку для архивов, которую я назвал huntZip.

  14. The Politics of Ignorance

    One of the important ideas in the sociology of science is also one of the easiest to misunderstand: knowledge is socially produced. This does not mean that scientists simply make things up, it means something much more practical. Science is a human activity, it requires people, institutions, money, equipment, archives, universities, laboratories, communities and time. What we choose to investigate - and what we choose not to investigate - is therefore shaped by society. That means there is […]
