As noted above, I'm an archivist by trade, dad by calling, and a 51 y.o. cishet man. I've been using Tumblr on & off since circa 2009 but I started this blog in 2022. I mostly reblog stuff with an effort to share posts that don't have many notes or are cool things I find from years and years ago.
My fandoms: Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, The Muppets
Mostly though I post about great books, great movies, and great music as well as photography, birding, cats, theater, dance, Boston and New England things, women's hockey, and left-leaning politics.
My Tumblr side blogs:
MetroSoxual - my baseball blog where I mostly post about the Mets and Red Sox (hence the name)
Pod-the-Mts - where I share the best podcast episodes I'm listening to.
Tumbl-Reference Shelf - where I reblog all those really informative and helpful (and sometimes silly) Tumblr posts so I can find them easily later on.
Other places you can find me on the internet:
Panorama of the Mountains - my Wordpress blog
Street Archivist - my Instagram collection of street art, graffiti, and sticker art
LibraryThing - catalog of all the books I've ever read!
Letterboxd - catalog of all the movies I've ever watched!
Bluesky - where I share my mostly random thoughts
O-the-Mts means "of the mountains" although I've never actually lived in the mountains.

Every time I have seen Hadestown - on stage or in the movie theater - people gasp when Orpheus turns around. I just love how it's so old and yet everyone is still always hoping that this time
Now this might alarm you but nearly everything on the internet is being hosted in a data center. You are utilizing a data center right now reading this post
Everything in the digital world has physical infrastructure that supports it and has environmental impact and I donât get why people act like thatâs unique to AI
Magnitude. LLMs needs orders of magnitude more computing processing power than your average online service.
It's like saying "I don't know why anyone cares that they are building that super highway through a protected land when there is already a dirt road there"
For those of us in America (USA, USA, USA... sorry), think of doing some basic stuff on the internet (like tumblr, yay!) is like me driving just over 1 mile to go to the nearest grocery store.
Using something like a streaming service for the same amount of time, is like driving 10 miles to a grocery store.
Using an LLM is like driving 100 miles to a grocery store.

Tonightâs fact: Astronauts need roughly one day of rehabilitation for each day they spend in space. I also need a full day to recover after each day at my job, so theyâre not special for this.
Among the many amazing aspects of the Hadestown pro-shot, one of my favorites is the way Patrick Pages injury provides an excellent example of how disability does not have to be barrier to musical theatre. The way his injury was presented, especially in Hades and Persephone's dance, shows how with enough care, choreography and blocking can be modified for a disability and still present a beautiful story. In fact, the pro-shot shows how disability can not only be accommodated, but also utilized for characterization and storytelling.
people who are like "but with universal healthcare you'll have to pay taxes!!! Up to 8%!!!" Are so funny. Like as opposed to the 16% of my gross paycheck that goes to private insurance, that won't cover shit unless i call my insurance company, then my doctor, then my pharmacy, then my doctor again because theyre pretty sure insurance got approved then my insurance company because they didn't get the letter, then my doctor again, then the pharmacy again, and then the copay i still am on the hook for.

Weird to me when pundits are like, "I'm so surprised that these powerful CEOs and institutions are capitulating to the fascism in advance" like, no? They are the fascism? Fuckin... Zuckster isn't "capitulating" to Trump. He helped make Trump. And he'll be there working to undermine our freedom once Trump is gone, too. Wild, acting like these oligarchs are just not fighting back hard enough. They signed on to this shit in advance, man.
Project Hail Mary has awakened something in the knitting community unseen since the Chris Evan fisherman cable sweater in Knives Out.
People are knitting every piece of knitwear that appears in that movie. Obviously the fox cardigan but also the zip sweater, the socks, the hat, which is just a normal beanie but by god we want to make it. They're knitting Rocky stuffies for god's sake.
Astronomers find strongest evidence yet that Betelgeuse has a companion
At long last, astronomers have firm evidence that Betelgeuse, one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone. Using the European Southern Observatoryâs Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), a team led by French researcher Miguel Montargès obtained the clearest image ever of what likely is Betelgeuse B, the star orbiting Betelgeuse. âThis is the conclusion of a century-long quest,â says Montargès.
