PREVIOUS RANDOM SITES OF THE WEEK

The links below all open in the same window or tab as this page by default. Clicking the star (★) at the end of the entry will open the headline link in a new window or tab instead. This seems to me to be the best way to make it a bit more convenient to visit random sites without closing or losing this page while not making it a surprising or annoying default. Based on my tests so far, the new tab should pop up to the right of the parent tab, and the new window on top of the parent window.

Another thing to draw attention to is that this feature began in 2018, and so some sites have changed a great deal over the past several years. If you want to be sure to get a sense of the version of the site that originally featured on The Moonspeaker, it is worth looking the link up on the wayback machine and dialling back to at least the year of the random site date. This is especially important for multi-author, political projects and their associated blogs, which will inevitably reflect changes in personnel and other outside pressures. With politics also come accusations of various types of malfeasance, which may or may not be well-grounded when made or at the time the site was encountered, so it is all the more important to check the source.

Current | 2008-2014 | 2015-2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025

• New England Free Press Digital Archive of Radical Literature - Women's Liberation (2021-12-27) : There are not many documents available here, but the ones there are well worth a look, even the perhaps surprising essay by Isaac Asimov whose reputation for not keeping his hands to himself has survived him. Some of the best material covers early Feminist history in the united states during the so-called "first wave." ★
• Marginalian, The (2021-12-25) : Out of respect for Maria Popova's decision to rename her wonderful site full of musings and annotated readings of books, here it is again, which makes this an opportunity to observe she has stuck to the simple site layout and continued to resist ads in favour of subscriber support. Her practice of engaging with older texts that don't always get their due continues. She has published three books of her own, Figuring, the edited collection of authors' letters on reading A Velocity of Being, and most recently her children's book The Snail With the Right Heart. ★
• World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium (2021-12-07) : An Indigenous-founded and run organization focussed on insuring that Indigenous peoples have access to education in a manner that respects and supports them as individuals and their peoples as nations. They are a major force in language and traditional knowledge retention developments and run an annual conference and open access journal. ★
• Kristen R. Ghodsee (2021-12-05) : This site was missed earlier this year, and is the excellent overall web home of Kristen Ghodsee's research on revolutionary era russia and its neighbours. Unlike various pundits whose books tend to be more available in bookstores, she can actually read the source documents in the original. Ghodsee is a prolific writer, speaker, podcaster, academic, and blogger with a very down to earth approach. ★
• LatinNow (2021-12-03) : One of those tell-tale, yet nevertheless interesting and useful projects, this one is an eu-funded multidisciplinary group research project on linguistic change in what today we refer to as the northwestern roman empire. Basically think roman empire, but leave out present-day italy and most countries east of germany and austria. There are many free publications, including an excellent pair of guides to roman cursive handwriting. ★
• History of the BBC (2021-12-02) : A solid source of information on the british broadcasting corporation for the most part, bearing in mind of course that it began and continues to be a central propaganda outlet for the english elites. They have an excellent range of photographs and further research links for the more interested reader. ★
• World Radio History (2021-11-17) : A wonderful website in the old style, not fancy and absolutely chockfull of wonderful photographs, articles, and high quality scanned pdfs. This site is a tremendous labour of love generously shared, which covers early radio and television broadcasting, primarily in anglophone countries (u.k., canada, u.s.) and some european materials. It even includes a selection of hand-curated links. ★
• Reveal Digital LGB Publications at JSTOR (2021-11-11) : As of the date mentioned here, the "LGBT" label is not accurate, it was an actual "LGB" collection. Mouse and hover over this sentence to see the list at this time. This presentation of the selected archive items has the benefit of JSTOR's excellent layout and presentation code and well worth the time spent browsing. Then don't miss the many open access items on JSTOR, it's an amazing project. ★
• Framework (2021-10-31) : An impressive project to provide modular, repairable laptops with hardware switches to turn off camera and microphone, including both preassembled and DYI kits. People interested in running linux and not having the latest microsoft OS should purchase a kit. They have three levels of basic set up from least to most expensive. Their prices are comparable to Purism's offerings although without Purism's security chain. ★
• Online Etymology Dictionary (2021-10-29) : A project and website active for just over a decade, providing excellent, documented etymologies of an idiosyncratic and remarkably extensive number of english words. It's free to use and has associated apple and android apps and even a chrome extension. Nevertheless, visitors are able to support the site on patreon or by purchasing some merch at the website's store. ★
• Anne Innis Dagg Foundation (2021-10-21) : If you have not yet had the chance to read any of this amazing feminist zoologist polymath, you are in for a real treat. In her zoological work her focus is on giraffes, and she has also written important works critiquing evolutionary psychology, ecology documenting Canadian women's history, and a lovely biography of her mother, economist Mary Quayle Innis. ★
• Women In Archaeology (2021-10-19) : Founded in early to late 2016, this is a multimedia project celebrating women's contributions to archaeology including a blog, podcasts, and podcast transcriptions as they are completed. They are eager to add contributors and collaborative works, and might be especially interested in a few more volunteers on their copyediting team. ★
• Writings by Carol Hanisch (2021-10-13) : This founding member of new york radical women continues her vigorous activist practise to this day, including writing, organizing, and editing. Some of her work is also in print and hard to find, so don't miss out on picking copies up should they turn up in the course of a visit to your local used bookstore. ★
• Lacus Curtius (2021-10-11) : Bill Thayer's grand project that began as his gazeteer of the ancient roman world, that he has continued to add ancillary resources to. Materials already available include over 50 latin and greek works in the original language and translation, and a range of secondary source materials in english and several romance languages. ★
• Olive Schreiner Letter Archive, The (2021-10-10) : An important corrective to the travesty Schreiner's ex-husband created via his publication of edited and manipulated letters she had written. This project digitizes and brings together as many of the proper letters as possible, with new items still occasionally being found. ★
• Donald E. Knuth (2021-10-08) : Those who have had the fortune to learn and use LaTeX – I think that is a a good fortune but have enough sense to realize that opinions vary on the point – or have studied Knuth's ongoing massive series The Art of Computer Programming and even those who haven't are in for a treat visiting this site. It's a practical set of pages and includes some excellent source code, preprints, and a funny and charming section of photographs of diamond-shaped road signs. ★
• Reisman Institute (2021-10-02) : The organization founded by Reisman to continue her research and work against the intense media pressure sexualizing children and normalizing violent pornography – and let's face it, "pornography" should be called sexual abuse of women imagery. There is early and powerful complementary research to Reisman's published in 1984 by Jeffrey Mousaieff Masson, The Assault on Truth, Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory. ★
• Dr. Judith Reisman (2021-10-02) : The important and still all too little known debunker of zoologist Kinsey's research, which he used to pretend that children were "sexual" and that paedophiles are not rapists. He is also a key early figure insisting on conflating homosexuality between mature adults and thoroughly wrong and criminal rape of children and women. ★
• Denise Thompson, Feminist Theorist (2021-09-29) : One of the best sources of radical feminist writing from theory to history on the web by a longtime activist and scholar whose books are not nearly available enough. See her excellent dissertation Against the Dismantling of Feminism: A Study of the Politics of Meaning for a classic analysis that is as relevant today as ever. ★
• Global University of Sustainability (2021-09-28) : An intriguing project that is multicultural, multilingual and multimedia. Most videos have subtitles, and there is a growing library of open access books and articles. Regular relatively big name participants familiar in the anglosphere include Michael Hudson, David Harvey, and Walter Mignolo. Try starting out with a few intriguing articles, such as Aleida Guevara March's Che's Struggle, Chan Shun Hing's Sustainable Peace and Knowledge Production: The Case of Shanxi Peacewomen or Teresa S. Encarnacion Tadem's Philippine Technocracy and Class Politics in Policy Making. ★
• Alexandra Kollontai (2021-09-27) : An intriguing multimedia project seeking to bring together a range of documents and references on the life, work, and theory of prominent socialist feminist Alexandra Kollontai. It includes a podcast and appears to be a project of scholar of russian and east european studies Kristen R. Ghodsee. The marxist internet archive's page on Kollontai is a good complement to this project, and includes a recording of her giving a speech. ★
• Chicago Women's Liberation Union (2021-09-04) : The CWLU, active from 1969 to 1976, was a socialist feminist women's union. Its members worked together for women's liberation, opposing sexism, racism, capitalism, and anti-homosexual prejudice via actions, publications, and recordkeeping. This site makes many materials available in digital form and maintains memory of the union. ★
• Monthly Review (2021-09-04) : Originally a hardcopy magazine, now online, founded in 1949 as an independent socialist publication by Paul Sweezy and Leo Huberman. They seek to make all their material available on a rotating basis so that interested readers who cannot afford to purchase a subscription may still read and cite their coverage. They have important alternate coverage of china and russia. ★
• On the Wampum Trail (2021-09-01) : A project led by Margaret Bruchac to relocate and thoroughly document wampum belts and collars stolen and dispersed by anthropologist Frank G. Speck. The wampum was taken from Haudenosaunee and Algonkian communities in northeastern north america mainly in the early twentieth century. ★
• Southwest Ontario Digital Archive (2021-08-30) : A university of windsor project focussed on improving accessibility to digital copies of their primary source collections. There are many images, and a fine collection of newspapers, directories, and year books. An intriguing and diverse collection to start from is windsor and region publications, which ranges from personal diaries to hilariously execrable tour guides. To the developers' credit, the site works well with javascript off. ★
• Annette Carson (2021-08-28) : One more on the theme of Richard III and medieval england, in this case the website of author Annette Carson. A busy author of biographies before joining the Looking for Richard Project, she has added a selection of Richard III related books and translations to her resume. Her blog is full of excellent articles including source notes and cross-references. ★
• Looking For Richard Project (2021-08-28) : The online home and information source created and maintained by the team led by Philippa Langley who actually relocated and oversaw the excavation of the remains of Richard III. They have been badly treated by the university of leicester and the town, which is busy flogging the site of bosworth field and where Richard III was found as a tourist trap. ★
• Richard III Society, The (2021-08-28) : An organization whose members are devoted to facilitating a more balanced and accurate reconstruction of the life and times of Richard III, and arguably a better account of the waning years of the infamous english war of the roses. The concern is that the historical accounts be made as truthful as possible, and also I suspect, express a deep (and understandable) revulsion against propaganda. They are not the only ones engaged in this work, for example also see Thomas E. Lambert's article at Monthly Review,, Richard III, the Tudor Myth, and the Transition From Feudalism to Capitalism. ★
• Josephine Tey - A Very Private Person (2021-08-28) : The person who built and maintains this site remains quite mysterious in their own right while bringing together as much publicly available information as possible about the novelist and playwright Elizabeth Mackintosh. The most famous of her novels, The Daughter of Time, delves into the life and times of Richard III, and whether he was guilty of the infamous murders attributed to him. ★
• Stairway to Heaven Memorial (2021-08-27) : Site that contributes to efforts to honour the memory of the victims of the 1943 Bethnal Green Tube disaster, including telling the truth about what happened and reiterating investigative findings that the victims were not responsible for their fate, nor was the mayor of the time, Margaret Bridger, derelict in her duty. ★
• Mago Books (2021-08-20) : The place to order electronic or hard copy versions of the books written and compiled as part of Helen Hye-Sook Hwang's Mago Academy project and to support academic coursework focussed on Goddesses around the world. Max Dashu has contributed to the 2018 publication Goddesses in Myth, History, and Culture. Hwang is engaged in important translation work both to and from the main languages spoken in eastern asia. ★
• Noam Chomsky Website (2021-08-19) : Originally an intellectual fan site that has since developed into his actual official web presence. It gathers numerous media links to interviews and speeches as well as to some articles and books. There is also an excellent bibliography with ongoing updates of Chomsky's works. ★
• Anti-Empire Project, The (2021-08-09) : A site that began as scholar, journalist, and activist Justin Podur's place to present his research and writing online. Since this start he has expanded his work and the site itself into an important host of anti-imperialist articles, podcasts, and links. ★
• Dame Ethel Smyth (2021-08-01) : The indomitable Ethel Smyth has bobbed back up into musical consciousness in spite of the usual attempts in the mainstream to ignore women composers and musicians. Defiant lesbian, feminist, suffragette, and composer, her music is now being recorded. This site provides a solid overview of her life and a fairly complete discography and manuscript list. ★
• Elinor Ostrom (2021-07-30) : Late economist who is also the first woman to have won the Nobel branded economics prize in 2009. Her research focussed on institutions and governance, most famously, the governance of commons, or in her more specific terms common pool resources. She is a unique example of an economist who did both extensive field work and laboratory work, and used the results to update her theory. ★
• Stephanie Kelton (2021-07-29) : One of the recent cadre of economists challenging the economic models and logics and wide use with an alternative approach generally referred to as modern monetary theory or MMT. If nothing else, MMT looks to be better based on and able to respond to reality, as opposed to trying to armtwist reality into matching the theory. Like it or not, reality doesn't actually have an arm to twist. ★
• Hyperbolic Crochet (2021-06-24) : Having just reread Caroline Criado-Perez' wonderful and properly infuriating book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, I bumped again into her reference to now retired mathematics professor and artist Dr. Daina Taimina, who worked out how to represent hyperbolic space in three dimensions. Her individual works and co-productions are simply amazing. This is her main blog, and she also maintains a photo blog at her Fibre Sculptures blog. ★
• Institute for Figuring, The (2021-06-24) : Founded by Margaret and Christine Wertheim, this foundation is meant to support increased public understanding of scientific and mathematic themes through hands on activities and art. Included in its offerings besides exhibitions and classes, is a selection of publications including several dealing with hyperbolic geometry and how it can be represented through crocheting. ★
• FemSpec (2021-06-24) : A biannual, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on feminist, non-realist, sex stereotype challenging writing. The genres covered include magic realism, science fiction, and fantasy. The site includes a blog and cross-references to relevant podcasts. Check out their recent call for papers and their submission guidelines. ★
• Black Sash, The (2021-06-17) : The Black Sash was originally founded in the 1950s in south africa, when white, middle class women began working together to oppose the disenfranchisement of "coloureds" and advocate for universal adult suffrage and an end to apartheid in their country. Their organization has never stopped, and over the decades has developed into a far more socially diverse non-governmental body running a range of social programs and still working to build an egalitarian country. ★
• Matrix Open Feminist Architecture Archive (2021-05-27) : If you have read Caroline Criado-Perez's Invisible Women on how data bias negatively affects women, you will have noticed more than one architectural element at play in her different examples. The Matrix Feminist Architectural practice made a point of directly studying women and children's needs in buildings and structures, methods applicable of course to others. Today it is less accepted that a "great architect" knows better and will enforce rightness through their designs, thanks to practitioners like the women in this architectural practice. ★
• Belili Productions (2021-05-22) : Starhawk and Donna Read have been working together since at least 2000, producing documentaries to support their work to bring forth more just and sustainable human societies. They have recently released a film on permaculture, but Belili Productions may be best known to this day for the 2003 documentary Signs Out of Time on famed archaeologist Marija Gimbutas. ★
• DistroWatch.com (2021-05-22) : A colleague recommended this site due to its reputation as a thorough tracker and collator of informed reviews of the range of linux and BSD kernel-based distributions. The site is multilingual, links numerous useful resources, and provides excellent quick descriptions of the various distributions all in one place. ★
• Mary Sidney Did - A Woman Write Shakespeare? (2021-04-20) : Another intriguing addition to the discussion of the Shakespeare authorship question, which notes that it is not only men who can be found with a plausible range of education, interest and translation experience. While the site founder Robin P. Williams does not claim to prove Mary Sidney's authorship, her work begins a further reconstruction of an intriguing literary world in england in the sixteenth century. ★
• Dr. Heide Goettner-Abendroth (2021-04-10) : A philosopher and historian, Goettner-Abendroth's research and writing focusses on what she calls Modern Matriarchal Studies, I suspect in contrast to earlier publications attempting to reconstruct alternative ways of living evident in the record of folklore and archaeology by scholars in nineteenth century germany. Well worth a thoughtful look, including several earlier publications that can be downloaded as free, but drm'd pdfs. Worth complementing it with the careful contextualizing and skeptical assessment of Goettner-Abendroth's work at The Invisible Male of Matripatriarchy: A Radical Lesbian Reading of Heide Göttner-Abendroth, Am Anfang die Mütter, Matriarchale Gesellschaft und Politik als Alternative (Kohlhammer, Stuttgart 2011). ★
• Louvre - Rechercher dans les collections (2021-03-31) : The Louvre has just released an extensive digital image and text database to the web at large. Many people will hurry off to have a look at the paintings and sculpture of course, but have a look at the textiles. ★
• Eye, The (2021-03-23) : An intriguing non-profit project intended to contribute to archiving efforts focussed on online and electronic resources. It has some philosophical and content overlaps with the internet archive in principle, but started in 2017 with a community-based basis. ★
• Common Lisp (2021-03-22) : Anyone who has played a text-based adventure game has indirectly interacted with the lisp programming language, which takes the list as its fundamental structure. Solid beginner's tutorials and a selection of mostly free to read online books on the language are available on this site, together with links to discussion fora and several social media tie ins. ★
• Rosetta Code (2021-03-22) : A crowdsourced collection of code snippets to help with learning computer languages. According to the site summary, it includes information for 822 languages, although not all have entries laid out under every example, as is actually to be expected. An intriguing page to start with is the one laying out how to comment code in different languages. ★
• Octavia E. Butler (2021-03-11) : Widely recognized as one of the founding authors of afrofuturism, Octavia Butler's amazing novels have finally begun to get wider recognition and made onto bestseller lists in the past five years. Sadly, this has all come after her death in early 2006. Not all of her books are in print at the moment, but that is changing rapidly. ★
• Mary Anning Rocks (2021-03-09) : A wonderful project working on erecting a statue of Mary Anning in her home town of lyme regis in england. She was a self-taught, working class geologist whose work was flagrantly stolen by multiple rich men since women were not permitted to join or publish with the scientific societies of her time, the early nineteenth century. Anning has had something of a renaissance of late, as she is the central character of the recent film Ammonite. ★
• peertube.org (2021-03-07) : Here is a more specific example of the sorts of things you can find in the fediverse by way of alternatives to google, amazon, and facebook as video hosts. Peertube is a federated videosharing platform with far better language coverage and all the advantages, and yes, disadvantages, of the federated model. ★
• LibreTexts Project (2021-03-07) : A u.s.-based open textbooks project providing nearly 400 free textbooks that are constantly updated and a wide range of ancillary resources. Coverage of subjects other than mathematics and sciences is solid, although still sparse in comparison. Great places to start include the materials for Research and Information Literacy and Sedimentology. ★
• SearX (2021-03-02) : A meta search engine program that can be used to aggregate the results of multiple search engines without being tracked or profiled. It may be used via a hosted instance on an external server, or run from your own server, or better yet your own smart router, as in the case of the FreedomBox. ★
• Join the Fediverse (2021-02-28) : Like it or not, these are dark times, and the extreme level of censorship and groupthink among advertising companies and the majority utterly coopted mainstream media which is leading to more and more people being censored and banned on top of the struggle to engage in constructive discussion and truthfinding. One means of countering these problems is the Fediverse, a growing decentralized network of servers providing social media and other services. This page provides a brief introduction to the network and its purpose. ★
• FreeBSD (2021-02-26) : As its name suggests, this is a descendant of the BSD version of unix developed at UCLA-Berkeley, for older computer users often the first version of unix they encountered, as well as the basis of the modern MacOS. FreeBSD is like linux in its distribution, but it is a whole system and has a different license. Studying how it compares and contrasts with linux is a useful exercise, and a great page to use to get started is Educba's overview. ★
• Plato Journal (2021-02-26) : The International Plato Society's now open access journal of articles delving into the details of Plato's writing and philosophy. The areas covered include reception, grammatical cruxes, and continuing debate about the meaning and complications of Plato's choices with respect to characterization and structure. True to the international nature of its society, the journal is multilingual. ★
• Sino-Platonic Papers (2021-02-26) : Founded in 1986 by editor-in-chief Victor H. Mair to publish studies of intercultural relationships between China and other peoples. It is open to risky and interdisciplinary studies, such as the persistent questions about possible relationships between cultures in the Americas and those in China before the European invasion. Today it is fully free to read and print though not to sell since 2006. It is still possible to purchase hard copy issues of earlier issues where copies remain. ★
• Lesbian and Gay News (2021-02-26) : A short-lived news publication focussed on just who the title says, unapologetically critical of the new homophobia and conversion therapy, running from february 2021 to march 2022, and now its archives are only available on the internet archive. The founders and contributors are advocating civil discussion of the complex political and social issues now in play with respect to sexual orientation, freedom of association and speech, and gender stereotypes. Unfortunately the editors ended the publication's run with a flounce and an attempt to blame the still very new and embattled LGB Alliance for their inability to keep publishing. ★
• Feminism and Religion (2021-02-26) : A volunteer project founded in june 2011 for collaborators to explore and discuss feminist perspectives on and relationships with patriarchal religion and other forms of spiritual practice. Their work includes short blog posts, long form essays, videos, and newsletters. As they state on their about page, the purpose of the site is "to further feminist dialogue while nurturing one another's work, even across our differences." ★
• PirateBox (2021-02-24) : This is the actual project is a central inspiration for the LibraryBox, and like its offspring is based on free software. Due to name similarity and a bit of confusion, the FreedomBox project was originally misidentified as the parent project. Unfortunately the project site will close down soon, though the internet archive has it imaged. The basic purpose of the project is to provide private file sharing and messaging over a local mesh network independent of massive corporations which are propaganda and censorship machines. ★
• Time and Tide Magazine (2021-02-18) : A project website commemorating the originally feminist journal Time and Tide, which had its heyday from its founding in 1920 until 1945. In this time it represented feminist politics in all its diversity and creativity and published a range of important women authors, from Virginia Woolf to Rebecca West. A great place to start is the timeline. ★
• Plasma Universe (2021-02-18) : A great place to learn more about plasmas, charged gases made of free ions, protons, and electrons. Plasmas also make up the vast majority of the universe and generate many of the most beautiful – and most dangerous – phenomena we observe, from solar fusion to the aurora borealis. ★
• Stella Illustrator (2021-02-10) : A great place to keep up with illustrator and political cartoonist Stella Perrett's work, including her experiences of censorship over the past two to three years. Those familiar with small press sci-fi and feminist publications may already have seen her distinctive, finely lined work that if shown in colour is often tinted using pencil crayon. ★
• Freedom of Mind Resource Centre (2021-02-06) : Founded by Steven Hassan to share what he has learned about mind control and the resources he has developed to help people recognize it and how to resist it. His BITE model (also see his dissertation) is not as well known as it should be, especially in this period of social disruption and heavy prevalence of cults and manipulation via social media. For those who have wondered just what they can practically do to recognize and counter the new and frightening sources of influence available today. ★
• Project Gemini (2021-02-02) : An interesting approach to recreating a primarily text-based internet protocol meant for speed and simplicity and resisting privacy violations of all types, while integrating with the existing web. It is quite small and unfortunately based in the united states at this time, but nevertheless is well worth keeping an eye on. ★
• Mathematics (2021-01-30) : It's a bit unfortunate that the title of this page and website is not more forthcoming, because it is about specific areas of mathematics. The selection of items on this starting page is focussed on several functions dealing with the prime and composite numbers, especially the properties and formulae for generating the former. ★
• NoDictionaries (2021-01-18) : Further to reading latin, many students soon find themselves frustrated trying to read while juggling dictionaries and being told they shouldn't need dictionaries except they are still vocabulary building. This site provides texts with adjustable interlinear vocabularies, or students can cut and paste in text to be marked up, all without javascript, with fast and stable results. Viewing options include on-screen, for projection, and print outs. ★
• Unofficial Lingua Latina Site, The (2021-01-11) : Hans Ørberg's pair of latin textbooks, Lingua Latina, have their own great following, especially among instructors who emphasize composition and speech in latin as learning modes. The first volume brings diligent students rapidly up to speed on the language, the second sets them loose on Livy's history. ★
• Wheelock's Latin (2021-01-11) : Very few students studying latin in north america haven't encountered the textbook originally written by Frederic M. Wheelock, then updated and expanded by Richard A. LaFleur. This website is an excellent complement, and now all the sound files are available as mp3s – a key changeover since flash went completely out of support on 12 january 2021. ★
• Sojourner Truth Project, The (2021-01-05) : A remarkable site setting forth the two transcriptions of Sojourner Truth's most famous speech, one by her friend Marcus Robinson that she checked, and the other more commonly reproduced but far less accurate by Frances Gage. From the text, head right on to listen and watch the readings of the speech by six Afro-Dutch women whose accents likely give a better sense of Truth's own accent and performance cadences. ★
• Said It - Feminist News, Culture, and Politics (2021-01-04) : Founded and edited by Adriene Sere in 1999 and publishing monthly until 2017, Said It was a seattle-based online feminist free speech venue. Sere established it specifically for woman-identified women and girl-identified girls, covering politics, activism, spirituality, and a women's events calendar. Now viewable via the internet archive, it includes classic articles such as Sere's In Remembrance of Mary Daly: Lessons for the Movement. ★
• BC's Black Pioneers - Their Industry and Character Influenced the Vision of Canada (2021-01-02) : First published in late december 2019, this site covers the stories of a selection of 800 Black immigrants who came to british columbia at the invitation of then governor James Douglas in 1858. Their experiences were varied, with many influential community members returning to the western states that many of them had emigrated from, taking up municipal and judicial positions. ★
• Agatha Christie (2021-01-01) : This is a fun addition, being the official online home of Christie's works, from novels, short stories and plays to radio plays. It includes of course the obligatory store with tie in merchandise, hard copy books, and audio files. For free visitors can download reading lists and browse a range of articles and puzzles. Don't look here for copies of Christie's works that have come out of copyright, though. ★
