i'm hangry. 🍔

Like, we'll do a whole training to prep our Drag Storytime safely that'll go fine, and then we have to get security involved because our outside art display included photographs of beards.

I'll help make a whole setup for non-denominational December Holiday Decorations, only to have to veto the January setup because someone on staff thought HELPFUL TRENDY CRASH DIETS FOR POST-HOLIDAY WEIGHT LOSS was a fun non-denominational setup to put in the teen section.

I'll add autobiographies with the most vile, pedophillic, unsettling narratives imaginable to the archive and brace for complaints, then see patrons walk right past it to pick up a kid's book with a puppy on it and ask if it's supposed to be porn.

I guess my point is: if you're posting on Tumblr and trying to brace yourself or predict how to word your content in a way so that no one can possibly get mad at you or misinterpret the intentions... take it easy on yourself? People are weird. I cannot emphasize enough that, even in a professional environment with years of practice and training and archiving, it is impossible to gauge what will get what responses.

Be kind to yourself! Post what brings you joy!

Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past (1947).

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
