Works of what is ostensibly a visual medium where people constantly post screenshots of their favourite moments and it’s just three hundred words of colour coded dialogue:

  • Homestuck
  • 17776
  • Disco Elysium

id like to learn an instrument, and date a musician, not because i think we'd be good together or talented or anything but because playing music is hot and playing music together would just be foreplay honestly.

the homoeroticism of being in a band is totally underappreciated by anyone who isnt into rpf honestly.

speaking to my PROGRESSIVE ROCK followers. what are your favorite EPICS (20ish+ minute songs) mine are TARKUS by ELP and 2112 by RUSH and OTHER HALF OF THE SKY by MOON SAFARI and ATOM HEART MOTHER by PINK FLOYD and CHANGE by MAGIC PIE sorry the capitalization thing is weird but im not retyping it all

i like A PLAGUE OF LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS by VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR and NINE FEET UNDERGROUND by CARAVAN

SUPPER'S READY by GENESIS is a classic and i do love CLOSE TO THE EDGE by YES

"This new deletion policy is terrible for preservation of archival media" that's the point, bro. That's explicitly the point, though they'll never admit it. Major social media platforms straight up do not want archival media to be a thing – it disrupts their business model by existing, and it's hard to monetise. In their perfect world, media more than 90 days old would vanish in a puff of smoke and be irrecoverably forgotten.

i always imagined the internet as a sand castle on the shore, the tide constantly washing over it, seeking to increase entropy as the universe does. We work every day to combat it, replacing hard drives, fixing server errors, fighting back DDOS attacks, and paying for ever increasing amounts of electricity. But one day, maintaining it will not be cost effective. The average hard drive will fail in 6 years after constant use. If not being maintained, the sea will seek to reclaim all that you hold dear immediately. While everything rots, digital rot happens so quickly, so easily, and once it's not profitable, the rot sets in so quick you didn't even have time to process it, much less archive it somewhere else. the internet is so, so large, and keeping it alive requires so, so much. Forbes is quoted as saying Americans use 4 million Gigabytes of data every minute. Now imagine how much it costs, not in terms of profit but labor, hard drives, and electricity to store all of thatTo keep that data alive.

sorry to make this two posts, my phone was threatening to crash over the last one so i posted it as is. there was supposed to be a link, a source, too, but tumblr ate it. fuckers.

anyway, i dont mean to say this as if it justifies big corps to not archive this stuff. but theyre the only ones who can, because archiving digital data of the entire internet takes labor and resources on a scale no individual person or 99% of any groups really has no ability to touch. and once keeping old data is not profitable, it will disappear forever. digital data wants to disappear. it takes active effort to keep it from disappearing. archive.org is one place we rely on but its struggling to keep afloat. the simple act of keeping data alive and accessable is costly. its worth it, of course, for the simple fact that things shouldnt just disappear because they dont make a profit. but they do. digital formats are just not built for the long term.

wow tumblr mobile destroyed that post i just made. there was supposed to be a link and only 2 words were supposed to be italic but it bugged out so hard i thought it was going to crash and i just posted it without edit then and there. cant wait for it to be badly misinterpreted because of it.

The bottom two guys are the average "opposite personality" love interests in a wattpad story

i just wanna say, cause i see that mentality passed around here sometimes

twitter users don't censor their posts with patreon or commission or anything like that because of the algorithm, some might but that's not the primary reason, its because theres a mass of bots on twitter who will search up those words and comment on your post in droves and/or snipe people asking for your cashapp by sending theirs instead. funnily enough, elon making the bot API pay to use has not stopped this. lol
