Two anarchy-related archives have reached their two-year anniversary!

This announcement was just posted to The Library of Unconventional Lives:

2 Year Anniversary Announcement

As this project comes to its second anniversary, we have to acknowledge collaborators and views on this project haven’t been as forthcoming as we hoped.

This situation might change in the future, as archivists who have helped out on this project also helped secure funding towards developing a classic forum board called Radical Libraries. When the forum is up and running it could provide the boost this archive needs by being signposted on a single website discussion space for a few different radical libraries. However, finding dedicated web developers to work on this has also been slow going.

If anyone would like to help make this happen, please consider joining the group working on this here: <af2c.org>

Or, donate here: <fundrazr.com/anarchf2c>

Or, simply help introduce more people to this archive by sharing texts from this library or sharing posts from our social media: <twitter.com/thelibul> & <reddit.com/r/TheLUL>

If you like the optics of this website being able to be found at its own dedicated web domain (thelul.org) and you are optimistic the plucky site will be able to go on to big things by people only needing to remember how to type in the short URL, then perhaps with your donation you could leave a note saying this donation is a contribution towards domain costs.

If not enough interest is forthcoming this may be the last year we can be found at <thelul.org>. After a few months of being redirected to <thelul.radicallibraries.com> the latter sub-domain would then go on to be the only place people can find this archive.

A similar announcement was also posted to Steak This Wiki, where the only changes were that; the social media posts mentioned that can be shared are: <twitter.com/stealthisw> & <reddit.com/r/StealThisBook>

Plus where it's mentioned the new domain may become <stealthiswiki.radicallibraries.com>.

The LUL archive is currently clogged up with a fair few communalist texts because the plan is to copy them over to a new Communalist Library currently in the works. Once the new library is set up most of those texts can then be deleted from TheLUL.

The Ted K Archive is also clogged up with a lot of anthropology texts because the plan is to copy them over to a new Radical Anthropology archive currently in the works. Once that online archive is set up, the anthropology texts may simply stay on The Ted K Archive however. This would be done in order to keep up the long running joke of trolling Ted K fans by building up an archive that has more suggested reading only very tangentially related to Ted K, than texts praising Ted K.

The Radical Anthropology Group hold the same philosophical foundation as Ted K, in that they believe reading about our genetic evolutionary drivers are key to understanding what kind of environment would provide us the most meaning in life. However, they differ strongly in whether our genetic nature is more rigidly noble, rigidly ambiguous, rigidly savage, or flexible between all three.
