Buy physical media. Buy CDs. Buy records. Buy tapes. Buy books. Buy physical artwork or prints. Take photos of yourself and get them developed at a photo processing booth. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Why? Because as this world get more digital, what's physical will slowly but surely disappear. There will be less things you can touch and feel, and more things that you can see and not touch. You can post all the digital pics you want on social media...nothing is assured and those pics and those platforms could be gone in an instant. An album on streaming platforms will never be the same as the original album in your hand with the liner notes, as versions of that album can get removed, and/or replaced with re-recorded material (since the artist doesn't own their masters). Books go out of print. And staring at a jpeg (no matter how much you paid for it *cough cough* NFTs) of an artwork will never be the same as owning the actual artwork or a print of it.

Preserve these things. If not for yourself, then for future generations.

This made me weirdly happy if only because the last time I drew Trunks (or any DBZ character for that matter) was waaaaaaaaaaay back in grade school where dragon ball was at peak influence for me (drawing the eyes was always the fun part, because my grasp of anatomy back then made anything I drew with muscles look inhuman).

Now that I find myself drawing a DBZ character again after the passing of Toriyama-sensei... it feels good knowing i'll get to do it justice this time around.

RIP, Toriyama-sensei. Thanks for the great childhood memories.

Yeah, I also like this! This took effort and the repair actually did what the previous owner needed it to do! The previous owner might have been in a place where there were no bookbinders around (or they couldn't afford to have it rebound) and had to figure things out for themselves. Oh and also it wasn't done with tape!

its so funny when people act like the limewire era was the first time people pirated music, and that 99 cents a song was agreed to by everyone in the world. i guarantee you beyond a shadow of a doubt your parents at the very least KNEW somebody who recorded songs from the radio on to a cassette tape. this was considered the most normal thing in the world to do: you like the song, you record the song, you listen to it again later.

#magnetic tape #as a kid in the early 00s #my own dad used to go to the library #borrow a jazz CD #and record it to tape #he did this nearly SIXTY TIMES #and i can tell that because #there are SIXTY tapes in a case next to me #nearly all of which are unhelpfully labeled 'JAZ'

04-10-2024 at Turner Hall, Milwaukee WI, taped by roffels

With this latest tour having just wrapped up, and this song both a) having its live debut and then being played every single night and b) absolutely rocking beyond belief every single time, Only Takes A Few was the only song I could possibly choose for this week's Live Tapes Tuesday! I had never heard this one before this tour-- it was written by Jonathan Larson and tMG were invited to record it for the show Tick Tick Boom-- and I have to say the studio version pales in comparison to any live version of it for me. This recording is my favorite, and this whole show is killer, especially the encore of Blood Capsules/See America Right/Up the Wolves/Heretic Pride.

What's the Live Music Archive?

#transmissions from lyric #aud #tmg #the mountain goats #tapes #live tapes tuesday #to be fully honest i AM going to add this live version to my spotify library instead of the studio version lol #its so good and it goes hard as hell live i had SO much fun dancing and singing every night

Been a while since I’ve drawn anything but guess what

A fanart! For the fic “Missing”by @zoiaeras !

Honestly it’s more of how I imagine Peter’s design to be rather than a fanart, cause usually when I do a fanart I either draw a scene or as I’ve lately been doing draw what I imagine the cover would look like (to be fair I kinda drew the breakfast scene? )

So this is more like a very small character sheets?? And the design is wrong a bit (his hair is supposed to be a bit longer but I only ingrained the choppy hair part)

Tried to keep the blue and red of his spidey suit in, but darker and paler to show the effects Gotham had on him

Honestly the fic is amazing! and the pacing is a chef kiss, and the comedy is on point for me and what I love the most about this is that it’s doing other stuff rather than just sticking to the norm of peter - Gotham crossover

Other characters are present, there is a plot being made and the characterization makes sense for the life the characters lived, and we’re even out of Gotham and introducing other superheroes to the plot like Superman and the flash and also villains like lex Luther

And what’s fun about this fic is that currently, the strongest thing Peter have is his brain, but he is still stupid outside of building stuff (I love this adorable bean)

My most favorite thing about it is probably the plot point and that things are actually happening with consequences to them that change the status que of the fic

The fic feels like a never stopping train wreck about to happen and I’m so excited to see just how big the crash will be and how sharp the debris left of it are

Honestly I can go on and on about this fic forever but that’s mean more spoiler which is a big no no

Just know that if you want a dc x peter crossover, with more justice league characters in it, this is the fic for you

#also he has freckles cause what’s better excuse to give him freckles than him being in a slightly different body?#by the way he doesn’t have a camera in the fic I know #but I wanted to have him hold something #and not just stand like a stick #also fun fact #his shoes not only is made of 30% duct tape #it’s also a signal merchandise #I would like to think he likes signal #cause he is the only day time hero in Gotham #and Spider-Man used to be a day time hero too #also nighttime occasionally but whatever #I wonder who’s his favorite bat #Damian is out already lol #but I love the beef peter have with Damian #they already act like siblings now all they need is for Bruce to get the adoption paper out of his pockets already #also did I say how much I loved the falling gun scene in the library?#absolutely hilarious #ok ok no more spoilers #guys you gotta read this #fanart #art #digital art #another fanart #ao3 fanfic #ao3 #spider man #peter parker in dc

hey horror (podcast) enjoyers!

(i’ve only listened to tma and tmagp so i’m shouting out tma fans specifically)

to y’all who like stories of spooky and supposedly paranormal/supernatural phenomena(narrated by a british man), i highly recommend the youtube channel:

the tape library

all of their videos are well produced and thoroughly researched, most of which are documentary-style about a different real-life paranormal story (ie the enfield haunting, the sallie house, borley rectory, etc).

i quite enjoy their content so i figure some of y’all might as well :)

"We've just got to go after him. And...put him right where he belongs: with [Barry] Goldwater] around his neck...He's got a better television personality and he's more effective. But he's more dangerous."

-- President Lyndon B. Johnson, telling California Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, that the Democrats needed to portray Brown's opponent during the 1966 California Gubernatorial election, actor Ronald Reagan, as an extremist and link him with LBJ's unsuccessful opponent in the 1964 Presidential election, Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, during a phone call recorded by LBJ's White House taping system on June 13, 1966.

I have an interview tomorrow at the library I practically lived in as a child, but it’s a very part time role that I - economically - cannot afford to accept.

On the other hand, I absolutely despise my current job and wish to burn the building to the ground every damn day. Mental health over financial stability battle commences🫡

#I have so many pros about taking the library job #I’ll have more time to work on my VA career from home #because rn I’m coming home exhausted and have too much to do before even thinking about doing audition tapes #I’m born to be a librarian #my entire wardrobe is librarian core #I’m also hugely autistic and love categorising stuff #my mental health will improve so much in this role #but I cannot afford to do an 11.5 hour job that pays minimum wage #I barely make enough money in a full time job #decisions decisions #truly mental health vs money (or lack there of)#interview #librarian #life choices
