I'm asking folks who have an archive.org account for help in reporting a white supremacist account and their content. I sent an email a few days ago about this account but it's still up and I've yet to get a response.

The Internet Archive shouldn't be abused to host and spread hate speech, misinformation, and disinformation, this person is not archiving these things.

I facilitated 3 Creative Writing Workshops for this year's International Day of Persons with #Disabilities with #WordLesta and since I did a lot of research using #theinternetarchive #archivedotorg and because of issues of importance to all, I shared slides and lesson plans. https://archive.org/details/disability-workshops-teagan-buckley-session-2-copy

25 years ago an idea to make records of the web turned into searchable history with over 500 billion webpages. The Internet Archive is preserving so many digital resources for everyone to access freely (both in cost and freedom)

Just a few idea about ehat you can do there:
• Read books for research
• Download abandoned games
• Watch public domain movies
• Read old versions of web sites.
• Listen to public domain musics
• Search cool GIFs 😉
