You Are Being Deceived

Hi! I'm Dan.46. Perpetually a goddamned mess.

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book

Ok extra context from your friendly neighborhood Master's Degree holding archivist:

Archives are "curated" according to what's called a "collection policy". That means a policy that dictates what you collect; usually along a theme. For example at the university I used to work at the collection policy was to collect archival material pertaining to the local area and its history/important figures. At the historic home I currently work at, the collection policy covers materials pertaining to the person who lived at the house.

AO3 collects fan works and original writing. That's it. That's how they "curate". They don't allow a copy paste of published works (for legal reasons) and they don't allow commissioned works (for legal reasons) . Everything else that falls under fan works and original writing is part of their collection policy. Everything. That's how archives work.

Librarian for 6+ years with an archival background, the entire premise of the initial argument is laughably untrue anyway.

Like yeah, a master's in library science is a prerequisite for most existing library/archival jobs, but any ham-and-egger who wants to start their own archive is allowed to do that, there's no High Council of Archivists who's going to swing by to check your credentials and shut you down if you're not properly licensed. The creators of the archive are highly qualified with the academic credentials to back it up, but even if they weren't Oakly would still be wrong.

Proposed Armory data center sparks debate across St. Louis and SLU community

Just across the freeway from Reinert Hall lies the Armory, a building vacant since 2024 that now stands in the middle of a heated developmen

St. Louis data center wins approval as Mayor Spencer meets in London with top campaign donor

The St. Louis Board of Public Service approved the Armory data center during a remote meeting as Mayor Cara Spencer dined in London with don

HEY! It's awesome that Fenton is fighting back, so is St. Louis itself. TLDR: the mayor approved to turn the Armory, a historical building itself, into an Israeli -backed Data Center- AGAINST the will of the people. There has been much protest and push back and canceling and it's clear that it's not being heard. Hopefully St Louis can fight back like Fenton did, but it deserves just as much attention that this, along with a lack of help for those in North St. louis who's homes were destroyed by a tornado last year, as this win for Fenton.

I don't know man the new Starfleet Academy show is about a generation of faculty that remembers a kinder world doing their level damndest to teach the new generation how to build one better than they've lived to see and if that doesn't sound exactly like what Star Trek should be doing right now then I don't know what to tell you

See, the thing about Batgirl (2000) is that it's one of the greatest comics you'll ever read in your life but if you have ever read a single other Batman comic, you will spend the entire time wondering what the writer's beef with Bruce is

[galisawritesforfun]

Reading Batgirl (2000) is like reading a really cool fic that could be considered a masterpiece in every aspect except for that one character the author has some hatred for and only added because they're important on the source material.

Also, a panel that has never gotten out of my head:

Caitlyn Jenner still 'loves' Trump despite 'male' passport issue

Caitlyn Jenner says she's still a Trump supporter, even after his policies saw her issued a passport with a male gender marker.

I swear to fuck, every time I look at Trans/Queer/Black/Jewish/Muslim/etc people who support Donald Trump I just think to myself...it's like watching a woman who stays with a partner who beats the shit out of her and keeps insisting that He Loves Her Really
