@platypus I have a PDF copy of a journal article from 1996 discussing the moral panic over bisexual women in lesbian spaces that almost perfectly tracks the moral panic over trans women in women's spaces. ('Bisexual Women and the "Threat" to Lesbian Space: Or What If All the Lesbians Leave?') Sometimes, like here, it's obvious a thing is worth preserving: it shows that if history doesn't repeat, it at least rhymes.

Other times it's hard to know. If you don't keep everything, there's no second chance if it turns out to be important later. It's just gone.

It's something I've struggled with as my capacity to store things and make them searchable falls behind my ability to accumulate and cull things that don't seem important in the moment.
