Healthcare issues reflected in yaoi âđ
The Swamp.
actually, do ya know what common Avatar misconception is even more annoying than "they have sex with their hair"?
"they have sex with their tails"
because not only were you not paying attention when they explain what the "hair thing" is (basically a biological USB that lets them neurologically connect to the world around them), you weren't even paying enough attention to realize that the tail and the kuru are two separate body parts
first time I open my tumblr feed in y e a r s and I see 2009 avatar discourse
never change, tumblr
tumblr is about to be the social media equivalent of that olympic skater who won gold bc everyone in front of him fell over
played the long game with this quote
Iâm actually so excited to write on tumblr⊠thread fics on twitter were the only way I could crank something out but this is gonna be way nicer.
What happens when the worldâs knowledge is held in a quasi-public square owned by a private company that could soon go out of business?
Jesus, I hadnât even thought of this, but of course.
This is something that historians have been warning about for a couple of decades. How much of our history was not just on Twitter, but on MySpace, on blogs and web sites that came down after a few years, on e-mail, on texts. None of that leaves a record. Once the file is deleted, the server shut down and scrapped, the backup disks decay into being unreadable junk, that history is gone.
Does anyone remember when Obama and Clinton each held town hall campaign events on MySpace? Good luck finding anything about those now other than some news articles that say they happened. How many business zoom calls have formal meeting minutes taken? We are not saving histories. We arenât even writing letters. Iâm as guilty as anyone. My art is online and kept in the cloud. I make my Christmas Card every year, but I havenât printed and mailed one in over a decade. Itâs all sent electronically. Meaning that a generation from now no one will remember.
So the problem is bigger than Twitter. We are now a couple of decades into an age that will not leave any detailed historical record.
That is not good.
In pseudo and acadamic circles this has routinely been called the âdigital dark ageâ, I even wrote on the subject a few years ago but canât find that article right now. [There is even a Wikipedia article on the concept] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_dark_age#:~:text=The%20digital%20dark%20age%20is,technologies%20evolve%20and%20data%20decay).
Itâs thought this might just be a black spot of knowledge, there are organizations working to stop this â archival websites primarily, but these are not able to penetrate all these corporate gated gardens, where paywalls, sign up walls, and more block access to. There is an ongoing campaign by megacorps to shutdown as many archival sites as possible.
This coupled with the fallibility of hard drives, CDs (make sure to back them up! They only have a 20-30 year lifetime!), and more and there is a chance that even though there is more information than ever before, more primary and secondary sources than ever, we may become just a strange blank spot in societal and cultural history. Digital decay is a terrifying concept that we are already beginning to live through.
@xkcd-for-that
This is exactly what Iâve been saying. Itâs a loss of history. And, given how important it has been for activists of all sorts, it will be a loss for the future as well.
Gotta say, never unfollowing all those long abandoned Tumblr accounts is really suddenly starting to pay off.
