Worried about how long your favorite art, stories, videos, and other media will remain online? You can do something about it. Archive it, put it on a flash drive, share it. Digital things are fragile, but you don't need serious tech skills to protect the digital things you care about. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n
