I'm going to keep saying this until it's rote practice: If you are in official connection with let alone in charge of an archive of data, if is your professional & moral responsibility to secure that archive, as a backup or otherwise, against just such an emergency, so we're not Hoping some kid did.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

ok uhhhhh plan of attack for fics - write/post new chapter of carbonation to reassure everyone i'm not dead - slow import of smaus from twitter to ao3 - keep writing this absolutely bonkers bond fic - drop a chapter of/even finish off my huge ace attorney fic that's been in limbo for five years

I'm talking to myself here at least as much as anyone else, by the way. We're having to simultaneously double down on and completely rethink the intersection of data protection and archival practices. Working with marginalized individuals & populations in public institutions? Shit is ROUGH out here.
