If there's a queer or trans site you think is worth preserving, let me know! I may eventually start a collection of sites, as the independent mirror format allows for interesting data analysis possibilities too.

I've begun doing something I thought I'd never do: actively mirror trans websites (instead of just relying on the Internet Archive).
I've begun doing something I thought I'd never do: actively mirror trans websites (instead of just relying on the Internet Archive). First up is Monica Roberts' TransGriot: https://queerdigital.com/admin/items/show/id/146. Because Roberts used Blogger, I've always worried about its longevity.
Roberts was a hugely important Black trans activist and journalist, and her blog documents how trans activism evolved over a 14-year span (2006-2020). She also wrote some pretty great trans-related song parodies.
