#online resources

[serethespider]

hey everyone! i recently compiled a bunch of useful links to various online archives, libraries, and the like, and i wanted to share the result since i feel like a lot of these resources would be very useful to people!!

feel free (enouraged even) to repost/share this wherever you want, or even take the links for your own masterposts or compiled resources or whatever. the goal i had in mind when making this was to share knowledge, not to take credit or anything, so go wild!

fair warning this is fairly targeted towards online leftist queer spaces since those are the circles i run in but this is tumblr so figured that wouldn't be a problem lol

also, if anyone has any cool sources or links they want me to add to make it more comprehensive, just hit me up!

Wondering if anyone would like a dedicated website (like a neocities/Carrd type deal) for my Internet Trinkets tag?

It’s mainly just internet tools, games, guides, resources, books and all kinds of links I’ve found to make the internet experience much more useful and fun, i.e, away from the nightmares of subscriptions, paywalls, hate and fear, as much as possible!

I’d want it to be like a little cornershop with the stuff you’d need, like milk and eggs and bread! Except in this context, it’s internet essentials and some stuff you didn’t think you needed, but do!

@good-morning-czernobog ‘s carrd as well as the likes of masterposts and websites like FrogLand have contributed to this idea, but I’d like some definite input from where this all started.

TLDR:

Want a website full of internet tools to make your life nicer?

Reblog are appreciated but no pressure ^^

I have a friend who's currently building a Discord server that could act as a safe place for solarpunk, hopepunk enthusiasts and more generally people who'd like to do more for the planet and society.

They'd need Administrators (who'd help with event planning and the inner workings of the tech behind the server) and Moderators (to ensure that this place remains a safe space).

Anyone who's interested in this, just dm me your Discord username and I'll send it to them! :)

Attention all artists Did you know that Wikipedia has a list of colours ?

All of the colours on these pages list the various digital values e.g. RGB , Hex and Hue.

The source of the colour is also listed e.g Barbie Pink is from Mattel.

I'm looking for (free if possible) online resources to supplement my language learning. I'm learning Greek and I'd mostly like reading Greek and practice translating. Rosetta stone is okay, but it lacks that reading practice.

I want to avoid Duolingo since apparently it sucks now (I just don't want all those ads and restrictions and I will not upgrade to their paid program)
