Old Website Of The Day 🌠🌠🌠

Ardalambion

First started in 1999, last updated February of this year. Incredibly in-depth site on Tolkien’s created languages. Includes lessons on how to speak Quenya, write ups on the other languages used in Tolkien’s books, translations. It’s a lot!

Here’s a bunch I’ve found recently:

• PlantStudio, last updated in 2002.
• GeoNames, modern but looks straight out of 2005.
• SemPress WordPress theme, modern but looks straight out of 2013.

I haven’t read the resources yet, but this is very cool: a historical archive of the Civil Disobedience Index from ACT-UP NY.

Rock and roll ! ACT UP were indie media pioneers - some old episodes of DIVA TV, their public access television show, are available online. DIVA stood for “Damn Interfering Video Activists”. And here’s the page about them !

That’s awesome, I didn’t know about this!

Change just a few words, and the section about how media has removed urgency and normalized AIDS could apply to COVID…

Two Old Websites for Today!

While googling something I came across this site, which lists the ways that people say “beware of the dog” on house signs in different languages. This led me to click on this site, which is devoted just to Latvian “beware of the dog” signs. Both of these websites please me.
