Relics
So. It’s been a few months. And it’s not like I didn’t write, more so that I didn’t know what to say on here. I couldn’t be reassuring, cool and collected. Also, I started a new job so that required a bit of focus.
But we’re here now. Somehow in a season two of a fascism that people are only starting to see is going to get bad. My friends are scared. I’m angry. And yet we have to keep living.
Archive preservation fascinates me. There is plenty of physical media that degrades over time, which is why digital backups are so important. Despite that, digital backups can become deleted so easily. So can words and actions.
We wrote on typewriters a few decades ago. No computers to back up our stories, so if they got burned by a spiteful Annie Wilkes or little sister, that was that. And yet we have more to lose now with computers and cloud servers despite the automatic updating and saving. There’s a reason why some people are returning to typewriters despite the lack of reliable support for repairs and part replacements. And we are creating tiny libraries of books in case those stories get threatened.
Hold onto your words. The world is going to need all your stories.
