Alright so given the disaster happening to the basic function of this website right now, I want to mention that one of the major projects I’m working on is figuring out how people can change how we use the internet, in order to have communities and subcultures (and art) that don’t make us all completely miserable:

Why I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the California condor.

Up until the mid 2010s, there was a thriving discussion around how the arts should work in the 21st century, using the internet in positive ways to further human potential. People experimented with different ways of organizing communities online and the internet’s various potentials as a creative space. This discussion ended not because these problems were solved, but because the structure of the social media-driven internet became so suffocating, it seemed to preclude any hope of other possible ways of living. I see no reason why we are not capable now, in this era of mass dissatisfaction with the way the internet works, of trying again.

At the moment I only have the first part up, which is a pretty broad overview. I’m working on a follow-up about how all of this would work practically, by doing a case study of how sci-fi fandom started in the 1930s. It’s pretty good and you should check it out. ✌️

I've been using this tool called tumblr-utils to back up my tumblr blogs. it creates a locally navigatable archive of a given tumblr url's posts, which is more convenient than the post soup you get from tumblr's native blog export feature.

what that means is that I have a folder on my computer with the name of my url with an index.html file in it, and when i click on that file to open it in a browser I get a simple page with a list of years and months. selecting a specific month will send me to a list of the posts i made or reblogged in that month, similar to tumblr's own archive page. the contents of the post including images are stored locally on your machine.

It can also make a separate index file that organises posts by tag, which is great if you're a consistent tagger, but it will list every single tag you've ever used so it can take a while to find the tag you're looking for in the list if you're a habitual tag commentator. generating the tag archive also takes a while depending on how many posts have to be processed.

you can make it back up any blog as long as it's not set to private. I have backups of both my main and sideblogs and it keeps them in separate folders.

it's had some trouble going all the way back to the start of my main blog in 2012 just by sheer volume of posts, but by making it fetch posts from one month at a time I've been able to go back to 2015 (that's tens of thousands of posts), which was good enough for my purposes.

it might be a little scary to use if you've never touched the command line before, but there's both text and video instructions to set it up and using it is just a matter of typing the command and letting it do its thing in the background.

One thing I love about studying math is that when you ask any fellow student or prof why they went into math we all say it’s because we find it beautiful. It’s so diametrically opposed to the opinion that everyone else has about math that it feels like some kind of virus that infects you and makes you unable to study anything else

I study math because there is some sort of gremlin in my brain addicted to the clacking sound two Numbers make when they smack against each other

Okay, so I've got a lot of spices. So I have a large spice rack.

And I don't want to constantly replace little plastic bottles with little plastic bottles so I have a lot of relabeled glass bottles that i refill from either big plastic bottles or bags of spices.

But the big plastic bottles and bags don't fit on the spice rack. So they go in random boxes on my baking rack.

But that is a mess. So I have to fix it. With baskets.

Yaaaaay

ms-demeanor

Here's large bastard putting up a smoke detector next to the first part of the spice rack, which I think does a good job of explaining why his spices are on the top two shelves of the spice rack and why I keep a stepstool mounted on the wall.

rokenford

Do you have trouble finding corn free spices?

ms-demeanor

Not particularly, I just avoid some kinds of spice mixes and anything with anti-caking agents. The spice mix thing also helps me to avoid sesame because a lot of spice mixes have sesame in them. (The mixes that i do use tend to be Indian spice mixes so they're not likely to have either of those.)

Basically you just read the ingredients on everything and don't buy anything that has the term "spices" with no ingredients.

Actually now that I think of it there are entire brands of spices that I avoid and also I generally can't get any of the mixes that people sell at farmer's markets, so maybe it is hard to buy spices but I've been doing it so long that it doesn't even register.

ms-demeanor

Actually this reminded me that a couple months ago I ran out of salt and large bastard brought me some from Aldi and I've had issues with reacting to dextrose sometimes so actually yeah sometimes it is troublesome I'm just used to it.

it is genuinely infuriating how many people grasp the concept of "there are several different sects of christianity, some of which are conservative and controlling, but others which are more progressive, and you can't treat the whole religion as a monolith", but absolutely cannot wrap their minds around the idea that islam, the second-biggest religion in the world, is also not a monolith.

homunculus-argument

You ever think about how often you hear someone say "there's no such thing as natural talent! Anyone can be taught" and you want to believe that they mean "with the right method and accommodations, anyone can be taught this", but time and time again you learn that they meant "I don't believe in learning disabilities or accommodations, anyone whom I can't teach simply doesn't want to learn."

coalescedstardust

Anyone who doesn't recognize that both talents and learning disabilities exist and adjust their teaching methods accordingly (while fully respecting the student as a person no matter what combinations of the above they have) is a bad teacher, IMO.

If someone is saying something like this, it sounds like they try to teach everyone with the same cookie-cutter formula and blame their students if it's not effective.

There are hundreds of things to criticise Israel for.

But I’m so not doing that where the antisemites on the Left can use these criticisms as jumping points for their antisemitic conjectures.

My critiques of Israeli policy remains within Jewish spaces. Queer, Leftist, Zionist/Zionist-adjacent Jewish spaces.

Goyyim have to be prove being able to have nuanced conversations about this part of the world before I’d ever feel comfortable criticising Israel with them.

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

Its the doc! The blank document steals the ideas from. Your brain!!!! If you want to keep your ideas,, do NOT look at the doc when you open it, look STRAIGHT* AT THE KEYBOARD and write the first words to pop into your head! Once the document isn't empty it, takes away its evil power over you

much as i love you, my pocket friends, one big new year's resolution for me has to be: make contact with IRL friends more often.

say, once a month.

gonna schedule this post for the first of each month. feel free to gently prod me if you catch it on your dash.

a core part of being on tumblr is watching the site kick itself in the dick

gentlyevilvt

See the "I'm supposed to, what, fuck the dog?" post is funny and all but I also have the immediate reaction that A) if you have such an in-depth understanding of what the sub's getting out of it but not the dom then perhaps you should reconsider your position in such dynamics, but there's also the less talked-about B) if you can't comprehend a way to enjoy a kink that doesn't involve having sex (unless it's a kink that requires sex as a baseline like a rape kink), then you're almost definitely doing the kink wrong. Fucking the dog is an option but it's not the point, it's about seeing the relaxation and trust in their increasingly empty eyes, creating a space of absolute control and inspiring the kind of thoughtless love and loyalty of an owned pet. Being wanted and needed so badly that they would do anything for you to just rub them behind the ears and tell them that they're good. I don't want to fuck the dog, I want to tire the dog out from games and affection and then pull it into my lap here it feels so safe and comfortable that it falls asleep with a few soft whines. If you can't do kink without doing sex then you will not survive the winter

penny-anna

Bilbo was declared dead while he was away in the Hobbit (and had to do a bunch of paperwork to get declared alive again) but there’s no indication he was formally declared dead after leaving the Shire, even though most people assumed he had died.

Therefore I posit: having a missing person declared dead in the Shire requires the consent of their next of kin. Whoever Bilbo’s next of kin was at the time of the Hobbit (possibly Otho? I’m not sure) had him declared dead at the first opportunity but Frodo refused to ever do it.

Frodo had anxious hobbit bureaucrats knocking on his door every couple of years like ‘Mr Baggins… blease… it’s been 10 years… he was eleventy-one… can we fill out his death certificate yet’ and Frodo was like ‘absolutely not’.

Early on he genuinely couldn’t bring himself too but after a while it was more that he enjoyed irritating the local magistrate’s office than anything else.

61below

I raise you: the hobbitish bureaucracy has no means to re-declare someone dead. They had no precedent to declare someone who was once-dead dead again. They would need the Thain, the Mayor, and the Master of Buckland to agree to changing the statute, and since the Thain and the Master are too amused by the whole henclucking that they haven’t gotten round to it just yet.

telltalelily

I’m upping the stakes with: last time Bilbo was declared dead when he was, in fact, not dead, they removed the law stating that you can have someone declared dead without a body, so when Bilbo left (happily aware of this legal loophole and snickering) he could never become legally dead again.

penny-anna

I am loving the implication here that Bilbo can literally never die in the eyes of the law. He’d love that.

apathetic-revenant

a hobbit parent telling their kids the story of Mad Baggins and being like “thanks to a loophole in hobbit law he’s technically still alive today”

a hobbit child misinterprets this and lies awake at night worrying that Mad Baggins is still out there and will appear in their room without warning

cheeseanonioncrisps

Alternatively: the laws for declaring somebody dead if they’re missing for long enough are still in place, but the magistrates are just refusing to enforce them in this particular case.

After all, last time they declared Bilbo Baggins dead— which involved filling out all the paperwork necessary to declare somebody dead without a body— he had the rudeness to show up again, forcing them to do a lot more paperwork, and this time with an indignant Bilbo having a go at them while they did it.

As a result, the magistrates have decided that they’re not going to declare Bilbo Baggins dead a second time unless they have a body, a coroners report explaining the cause of death, and a three day wake to make sure that he doesn’t get up and walk away again.

Centuries later, hobbit parents tell their children that Mad Baggins is forever gone from the shire— at least until the day when somebody is stupid enough to declare him legally dead, at which point legend states that he will immediately come marching back, demanding an explanation.

No, we don't need to get "regular porn" back on this website. I mean, sure it should be permitted, but esoteric bizarrely sensual videos of industrial processes & oozing goops which challenge the very notion of "pornography" are actually far superior to the derivative drivel from profit-oriented studios like Brazzers and Bang Bros

no need for tags this'll find its audience

hound-slut

Unironically I've come to love tumblrs surreal exploration of the erotic and explicit in the face of a draconian ban on adult content.

The Machine That Will Eat Your Hand crushing fifteen cans of paint captures more of a primal sexual feeling than I could ever get from standard porn

dragongirltongue

Also to be real, even when normal porn was allowed on here we were already eroticizing and abstract and surreal. Returning normal porn won't change this at all and if anything it'll make things get weirder actually.
