When Edmund takes the warm drink and Turkish delight offered by the White Witch, or when Ofelia grabs a couple of grapes from the Pale Man’s banquet, well, I felt it in my soul.
Tubi and hbomax are like two beautiful sisters who grew up to live very different lives because hbomax married rich and has dinner parties with Netflix and Hulu each week while tubi cut her hair remained single has a group of outcast friends and works in a vhs store but at the core they are still the same (have the best movie selection)
if you are distressed about not receiving a response from someone you’d like to be actively talking to, you have to take a moment. step back from the conversation, put yourself in their shoes. perhaps they’re busy with something right now. you have to consider the possibility that maybe they hanging upside down by their ankle. everybody has their own schedule, and sometimes people spend time away from their phone or computer because they are currently suspended from a tree branch by a rope tied around their ankle that they unnoticingly stepped in because it was concealed by a pile of leafs. it’s not that they don’t want to respond; imagine that they can see their phone screen on the ground below but it’s a good few inches out of reach and even if they bounce and flail on the branch their fingertips just can’t touch it. sometimes life gets in the way

Oh no, it happened to me: I felt frustration over the loss of headphone jacks in modern mobile phone hardware AND how absurdly huge phones have gotten. And now I feel like I need to hoard a collection of phones that are small and retain the jack.
Big Media’s lobbyists have been running a smear campaign trying to paint the Internet Archive as a greedy big tech operation bent on stealing books—which is totally absurd. If you’ve ever used the WayBack Machine, listened to their wonderful archives of live music, or checked out one of their 37 million texts, it’s time to speak up. On March 20, everyone is showing their support for the Internet Archive during oral arguments.
The Internet Archive is our library, a massive collection of knowledge and culture accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Don’t let greedy publishers burn down the next Library of Alexandria!
And if you’re absolutely certain you don’t use or need the Internet Archive, take a look at their projects first, you might be surprised. Those are all at risk too.
The Archive is so, so, so important to me, to my largest passion (retro game preservation), and to humanity as a whole so we don’t lose our history and media to time.
If you’ve never heard of archive.org before, please check this out.
