Last Summer I did a series of gemstone landscapes
emerald, alexandrite, ruby, peridot, sappire
Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.
thank you for articulating this cri de coeur for me
ngl these days i’m just happy when it’s not a video
search.marginalia.nu is the search engine you want!
The search engine calculates a score that aggressively favors text-heavy websites, and punishes those that have too many modern web design features.
This is in a sense the opposite of what most major search engines do, they favor modern websites over old-looking ones. Most links you find here will be nearly impossible to find on a regular search engine, as they aren’t sufficiently search engine optimized.
“It is a search engine, designed to help you find what you didn’t even know you were looking for. If you search for “Plato”, you might for example end up at the Canterbury Tales. Go looking for the Canterbury Tales, and you may stumble upon Neil Gaiman’s blog.
If you are looking for fact, this is almost certainly the wrong tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you’re on the right track. When was the last time you just stumbled onto something interesting, by the way?
I don’t expect this will be the next “big” search engine. This is and will remain a niche tool for a niche audience.“
i clicked around for a few minutes searching various things and I now have two fourteenth century pie crust recipes and an apple filling recipe i want to try, so thanks!
it has been twenty minutes and I am deeply in love with this search engine.
INCREDIBLE. I *do* want to know how to test Windows 95 for Y2K Compliance and I am glad that someone is still hosting step by step instructions for that.
tl;dr: search.marginalia.nu for the old or old looking and just plain serendipitous stuff that google or Duck duck go are gonna not find/bury on the 20th page. For perfectly good reasons, but …
My absolute favorite part of having made this post - other than causing people to be introduced to this site - are the people in the tags/comments talking about their interests and stuff they found about their hobbies.
Good luck out there surfing the cyberweb, you crazy cats. I love the shoelace website too - Ian’s Shoelace Site [link], unless there’s another. My personal favorite old-school site is Alysion’s string figure collection [link].
"But let me give you the dark side of writing groups. One really dark side of writing groups is, particularly newer writers, don't know how to workshop.
"And one of the things they'll try to do is they'll try to make your story into the story they would write, instead of a better version of the story you want to write.
"And that is the single worst thing that can happen in feedback, is someone who is not appreciating the story you want to make, and they want to turn it into something else.
"New workshoppers are really bad at doing this. In other words, they're really good at doing a bad thing, and they're doing it from the goodness of their heart. They want you to be a better writer. They want to help you. The only way they know is to tell you how they would do it, which can be completely wrong for your story."
—Brandon Sanderson, Lecture #1 Introduction, Writing Science Fiction And Fantasy
And this is why many writers (including me) don’t ask for concrit on their published stories - they’ve told the story they want to tell.
If that’s not the story you want to read, you are welcome to write your own version. 😉
#god i had a professor who did this to me and i'm still mad about it#but somehow this post gives me catharsis; thank you
@thebearmuse SAME with the catharsis. I had a beta reader who did this to me, and seriously damaged my story as a result. And let me tell you, when I heard Brandon say that quote in his lecture video, it was like a wave of relief. "Oh. It wasn't just me. This is a common problem. That somehow makes me feel better."
writing tip #3454:
stop worrying about your novel being “too unrealistic” have you seen the shit that happens in real life

Some springy contest entries I have laying around

and the second one had the simple prompt of skies (did different times of day)

I think I’ve grown a lot both artistically and as a person and I think it shows.

Another little art & poetry dump <3
(To the tune of YMCA by the Village People)
“Artist, there’s no need to over detail that background
“I said, writer, create work you enjoy
“I said, designer, make a new zine”
I was trying to twist the first one into the line space and then ended up singing to myself:
Artist! You can put that pen down! I said, artist! That’s an awesome background! I said, artist! As I’m sure you have found There’s no need! to! over-detail! Writer, create work you enjoy! I said, writer! Promise it’s not a play! I said, writer! Let your words bring you joy! You don’t have! to! force the “right” ones!
Designer! Time to make a new zine! Hey, designer! Get your choice of caffeine! Hey, designer! Cause your work won’t be seen If it just! stays! inside your head!
Just wanna say that your ART! IS! OKAY! Just wanna say that your ART! IS! OKAY!
… yeah, I don’t know either, this is apparently how I wake myself up today.
Just wanna say that your ART! IS! OKAY! Just wanna say that your ART! IS! OKAY!
Just a art dump of some dtiys I’m proud of. Here are the og arts and their IG handles:

Okay I just like these monochrome, grayscale digital inked pieces from inktober 2020
if you don't know what to write, write for yourself.
write a story you would read but haven't seen yet; write people you would find interesting but have not met yet; write a place you would visit but hasn't been discovered it.
write for yourself.
