I like to keep a diary in a nicely bound acid free real book because while all the digital data might survive only books are proven to survive the test of time and my account will last and perhaps be one of the few from this time after the coming "great scrambling"Shocked more people don't do this.

@floatybirb You need to do them in oak gall ink on parchment just to be safe.

@futurebird I think fired clay tablets might be the most reliable way to preserve half-baked thoughts for future societies.

@floatybirb I'm helping a student recreate plimpton 322 for a senior project so we can try out writing in cuneiform with a stylus. No reason we can do some extra projects.

@futurebird Future archeologist: We did it! We finally found a surviving detailed account of the 2020s! Now we'll finally understand the collapse!Future classist: Amazing! Give it here so I can try to translate it for us.Future archeologist: Of course! What does it say?Future classist: *flips through book, increasingly confused*Future archeologist: Well? Does it unlock the great secrets of the ancients?Future classist: Well... Not as such...Future archeologist: Well, what's it about then?Future classist: Ants. It's three thousand pages with nothing but ants.Future archeologist: Ants!? I've dedicated five years of my life to this expedition. Just ants!?Future classist: Well... There are also a handful of pages describing a cat.

@futurebird Livescribe has acid free notebooks available, coupled with their digital pens, one can have the best of both worlds. @czds and I have been Livescribe users since their first products, almost twenty years ago.

@futurebird This year, for the first time in my six decades, I started a handwritten journal just in case digital records cease to be reliable.Fortunately , my multi-year collection of lined blank notebook schwag should hold me for the rest of my life.( And sometimes I just print out #HeatherCoxRichardson, staple it in, and call it a day.)

@futurebird Same. Books are durable data storage media, and do not require electricity to operate. All that is required of the user is literacy. I have piles of journals dating back to the late 1970s, and I still have books I acquired back then too (and many, many others since). My problem now is how to pass them on to people who will read, care for, and preserve them. And I just inherited 45 file boxes of books from my recently deceased mother-in-law, a fellow bibliomane.

@futurebird I’ve never considered myself interesting enough. Especially not after realising that people around me feel the same way because of it. 😅 I scatter myself in life and leave haphazard traces. It would take an archaeologist in entangled state to trace my existence… But then again it wouldn’t matter. Such is the life of a positive nihilist.

@plinth @floatybirb No, just Pythagorean triples!It's one of the most remarkable examples of ancient writing and mathematics. The Pythagorean triples are very large ... I got chills when I first tested them out for myself.

@futurebird @floatybirb You can probably get away with rag paper so long as you make sure the ink isn't so acidic it'll eat the paper.

@futurebird I want to carve my thoughts into the base of a statue surrounded by desert sands but I’ve only got the budget for a pair of vast legs.
