Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

finally something related to Monster, I missed it so much but I still don't have much energy for this. also TW:BLOOD‼️

aannnddd I remember someone's request , I promise I'll draw Grimmer but later!!!!

URGENT: DONATE TO HELP A PALESTINIAN FAMILY ESCAPE GENOCIDE

Donations to Ahmed and Maram’s campaign to evacuate their family from Gaza have slowed, and each day they remain without progress for their fundraiser is another day of uncertainty. They are a young couple caring for three young children, displaced 9 times and living in a completely destroyed city with little access to precious resources such as clean water, healthy food, and medicine.

Each day spent in Gaza not knowing if they’ll be able to leave at the next possible opportunity is a day spent in fear. They are scared, and it is within our power to alleviate their fear as best as we can.

Please, join me in helping them reach their next short-term goal of €10,000, which puts them 1/3rd of the way towards their goal. It is enough to evacuate all 3 children, after which we must push as hard as we can to raise enough to ensure their parents can escape with them to safety.

Here are some photos of the family and their situation I have been given permission to share.

Open your heart to this family as they have bared their souls to us. A donation of amount makes a difference, even a little can go a long way.

€8,837/€10,000
