#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so
Screenshot of the front cover of the digital zine "DIY web archiving", which has large-sized text stating: "Things disappear from the internet. Care about stuff on the web? You need to act to archive it. Anyone can do it—this zine shows you how."
