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.

no but Starkid's version of eldritch gods is so funny bc yes they're divided into black and white categories based on whether or not they help humans but there's only one of the helpful ones and the others are a pretentious theatre kid, a toddler staring at you on the bus home from work, a kid who forces his sims to set themselves on fire, reloads the save file, then does it again, Hungy, and a corporation that's trying to keep up its family friendly image. also the only one that doesn't actively harm humans is an indie folk artist

Tom Houston is Cynthia Houston's grandson. That's my theory I don't care if I'm wrong because my heart knows I'm right
