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.

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

my post-canon loop hc is they keep switching back and forth between wanting to be totally different and wanting to be exactly like they were. both options hurt in different ways so they're always just stuck deciding which they hate less at the moment and constantly pissed off about it.

sometimes they do make a choice they're genuinely happy with! sometimes they manage to do something because they want to, rather than in a desperate attempt to get closer to or farther away from the ghost of their past. but it's hard to sit with that happiness. it's hard not to immediately ruin it for themself by overanalyzing the action in the context of the miserable binary options.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

my gayass wife got me hooked into the gayass timeloop game so it's my time to add my small contribution to the fandom as a person who's infamous for their one-fanart-per-fandom curse
