“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
@marblehornetsncreepypasta I relate SO WELL
My mind is like an internet browser. 17 tabs are open, 4 of them are frozen and I don’t know where the music is coming from.
@marblehornetsncreepypasta You would do this
I can’t believe I’m leaving the house and driving to the grocery store to pick up chocolate syrup so that I can have something to use as fake blood in a ridiculous noir detective video.
I've had glasses since second grade. I'm thankful to my teacher for caring enough to notice that I had to walk to the front of the classroom to read the board every class
reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.
for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.
so how can you help?
boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.
learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.
get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.
donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.
and finally…
@marblehornetsncreepypasta GET READY TO JOG 100 LAPS WHILE HOOTING ABOUT HOW GREAT YOU ARE!
Today I discovered this writer’s tactic to face her fear of rejection and failure, and it’s honestly very inspiring?! This kinda rewired my brain and I feel everyone should read and think about it.

Tbh, YouTube and Tumblr kept me alive when I was in my darkest place. I'm not out yet, but it's a little better now...
Every time I see my friend, and I look over their shoulder to see my stalker staring at us. I will die before my friend gets hurt, and that is a sacred vow I have made
do u ever look at someone and just pray to god you never have to lose them
