Hey, I wrote up a quick primer on audio media preservation for just this reason. Having some people look over it before I was gonna release it.

I'd be down to join something organized. We might as well not reinvent the wheel separately.

That sounds amazing!!! I would love to have you aboard! I am super new to this and just have a micro-library and have started there, basically winging it so your expertise would be more than welcome! :)

You can join our efforts through the form at...

& you don't have to be trans and queer to help, but if you care about preserving QT media through this nightmare of fascism and into tomorrow, please reach out.

For queer & trans youth.
For tomorrow, for hope,
Forevermore!

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

catlit.net•23 days ago

will this include the countless academic papers that are about to be scrubbed from public record? or is it more entertainment focused?

ovaettr.gay•23 days ago

I actually have moved into collecting those too, i am printing a lot of the medical research papers proof of our existence, stigma of our health needs, and especially the ways to benefit and help trans youth succeed. Guidelines they released amd studies. It has frightened me how its being scrubbed.

ovaettr.gay•23 days ago

It originally did start more entertainment incl fiction and nonfiction autobio / monologues at first but im basically expanding it to any media in the sense of "literature, poetry, essays (incl medical research now), films, music, art, etc"

you are doing the gay lord's work

Been thinking a lot about the symbolism of the Phoenix and how it pretty accurately represents the trans and queer experience historically; killed repeatedly, always to rise from the ashes. Very beautiful of you to use that here 💖 🏳️‍⚧️
