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…

[charaznablescanontoyota]

cannot stress enough that donating to the internet archive to help them appeal this without going broke is the most important thing you can do right now. my day job revolves around fulfilling digital article and book scan requests at an academic library and a huge part of that is borrowing from other libraries that do controlled digital lending (incl. the internet archive!). copyright law is already hugely restrictive on what we can and can't lend, and we absolutely don't have the option to pirate anything for our patrons due to being a large academic institution. it's difficult to overstate just how bad this ruling could end up being for libraries that have digital lending programs, esp ones that rely on CDR for old/archival/hard-to-find texts.

❝ Um… Why are we here? ❞

❝ I was, hmm… a bit, butthurt. ❞

❝ Huh. You’re like a ninja, huh? ❞

❝ Got all worked up for nothing… ❞

❝ Calm down. That’s just a myth.  ❞

❝ Hey… that’s… pffft… That’s rude. ❞

❝ You are destined to dance with death. ❞

❝ I didn’t call for you. I did not. Go away. ❞

❝ It’s not a dirty story like you’re thinking. ❞

❝ Kids these days eat that stuff up, right? ❞

❝ Winter had come for me, and me alone… ❞

❝ Don’t recognize her face, but she can act. ❞

❝ It can’t be as simple as a curse or a ghost. ❞

❝ … But could you not call them dirty deeds? ❞

❝ We’re finally gonna corner the culprit, huh? ❞

❝ From now on you may call me… Chemistry! ❞

❝ Geez.. How can you not have a proper suit? ❞

❝ This girl’s stranger than that sham shaman.  ❞

❝ I feel I’ve matured after experiencing society. ❞

❝ Hmm… Is that something to be happy about? ❞

❝ Save the sleeptalking for when you’re asleep. ❞

❝ Okay, that’s enough clowning around for now. ❞

❝ Who cares if he’s a big, medium or small shot? ❞

❝ I think this is the first time I’ve seen a real castle. ❞

❝ You watch it and get hyped for a test of courage.❞

❝ I’ll be seeking out pieces of a half-baked mystery. ❞

❝ There’s gotta be a secret…someone wants hidden. ❞

❝ I’m not a police officer, and I’m no superhero, either. ❞

❝ Y'know, these two seems like an adulterous couple. ❞

❝ Geh! That sounds like a seriously messed up place! ❞

❝ She/He really does have a tendency to act randomly. ❞

❝ This is the kind of thing you’d usually see at a shrine. ❞

❝ Your brain’s probably just too slow to notice it’s dying. ❞

❝ Oh boy… I guess men have always been perverts, huh. ❞

❝ The moment I take my eyes off you, you leave a mess. ❞

❝ Has your face always looked that stunningly handsome? ❞

❝ Ugh… I’m the type that always picks the wrong answer…  ❞

❝ It’s not like anyone has anything to gain with a switcheroo. ❞

❝ It was brimming with spirit… And yet a faint scent of death…❞

❝ I’m used to incidents and being questioned by now, ahaha. ❞

❝ Anyway… It’s that cursed film you wanted to ask about, eh? ❞

❝ You get to please your people and put food on your table, too. ❞

❝ Ok, I know I joined in on the joke, but please don’t be ridiculous❞

❝ Dammit… for a former delinquent, she/he knows her/his manners. ❞

❝ That film’s been giving me a bad feeling ever since we watched it. ❞

❝ You’ve grown quite cunning by doing dirty deeds under my direction. ❞

❝ But you better treat me to Korean BBQ or something after this, okay? ❞

❝ But the omens of the tragedy to come were already there in plain sight. ❞

❝ If this was a horror movie, the monster would jump out right about now.  ❞

❝ Anyway, you’re the same as ever, ___. You haven’t changed since college. ❞

❝ So what exactly is this Whatchamacalit ? Some sort of ghost sighting spot? ❞

❝ That’s rude. I’m always nice, so long as you don’t start spouting out weird puns. ❞

❝ So you say, but who else gets involved in two murder cases in such a short time? ❞

❝ The people may change, but this place hasn’t changed one bit ever since I moved in! ❞

❝ Heheheh. Well, that’s just an old legend passed down. Yep, just a legend. A folk tale. ❞

❝ You wanna pull off a culprit reveal scene straight from a detective show or something!? ❞

❝ I’ve seen that stuff in TV dramas and manga, but this is my first time seeing it in real life.❞

❝ It’s a mystery drama that originally started production ten years ago, but was suspended.❞

❝ Even if it was a coincidence, you have a knack for getting caught up in these kinds of situations. ❞

❝ I don’t wanna look like him/her, just live like him/her. Living with cute servants serving me every day! ❞

❝ If it is true, I won’t forgive you. ❞

❝ How creepy, a letter from the dead! ❞

❝ Don’t worry, there aren’t any ghosts or anything. ❞

❝ Forget your lunch, but don’t forget your umbrella. ❞

❝ Don’t be embarrassed. You could find your soulmate. ❞

❝ Take this talisman with you to ward off evil spirits. ❞

❝ Don’t go blathering about it, but I was with the FBI. ❞

❝ Your story’s messed up. So what, I’m the bad guy now? ❞

❝ Meeting someone because of the rain is kinda romantic. ❞

❝ Am I really going to be that popular with the ladies?! ❞

❝ The rain brought us together; maybe we’re meant to be. ❞

❝ If you’re looking for ghost, you’ve got to go at night. ❞

❝ What are you talking about? You’re as beautiful as ever. ❞

❝ Ghosts, UFOs, legends, and now monsters. Give me a break. ❞

❝ I wanted you to say I had charisma, even if it was a lie. ❞

❝ This place is more for, you know, romantic fortunetelling. ❞

❝ Please don’t say I’ll be kidnapped by aliens or something. ❞

❝ There is no way that savage woman could have been popular. ❞

❝ Does this city just have a lot of hot people running around?!❞

❝ Locals never leave the house without an umbrella, I take it? ❞

❝ You know, in horror movies whoever says that gets killed first.❞

❝ She was the best friend you all had, but you hurt her the most. ❞

❝ Hey, please don’t insult my Sherlock Holmesian detective skills. ❞

❝ He looks like he plays around, but he’s actually had a tough life. ❞

❝ But why was she so upset? I can never tell what women are thinking… ❞

❝ If that were it, it would’ve been a happy ending. But reality is cruel. ❞

❝ I picked this place because it was cheap, so I can’t complain too much. ❞

❝ Cats are a little tricky to deal with. They’re not like dogs, you know. ❞

❝ You should keep it with you. You never know when something might happen. ❞

❝ How many years has it been since I last looked out at the city like this? ❞

❝ It’s creepy. I feel like Dracula could pop out of the shadows at any moment. ❞

❝ Luckily this is happening in real life, so I don’t have to worry about ghosts. ❞

❝ I’ve been around a bit longer than you. Of course I know a thing or two. Hahaha.❞

❝ As you go on in life, you sometimes hurt people. But sometimes you save people too. ❞

❝ You’ve shouldered a burden you didn’t have to. But that’s fate. You can’t oppose it. ❞

❝ I don’t need your sarcasm. Are you done? I have better thangs to do than talk to you. ❞

❝ Life is a tour boat. Don’t rush; you’ll enjoy it more if you relax and enjoy the ride. ❞

❝ One step in the wrong direction could land you in the worst of circumstances. ❞

❝ It’s exciting, like we’re pulling a prank on everyone. Like pop stars on a secret date.  ❞

❝ This looks delicious. Time to forget about mystery-solving for a while and enjoy the meal. ❞

❝ I don’t know what you’re talking about. What’s there to be embarrassed about? I’m a genius. ❞

❝ Only work for me. I’m not a woman made for love. My family might not be suited for marriage. ❞

❝ Meeting someone because of rain is called Enishizuku. It means something like “destiny drops”. ❞

❝ I’ve done nothing illegal here. All of these pictures were legally taken, or legally acquired. ❞

❝ Just thinking about something won’t let others know what it is. Please turn your thoughts into words too.❞

❝ I gather horror stories, strange tales, and urban legends, and retell them with no fee, no discretion, and no permission. ❞

❝ Secrets are like burdens. The longer you hold on to them, the heavier they get. You want to tell someone and lighten the load.❞

tumblr guide for new users:

1) there is no algorithm for your dashboard. can't stress this enough. your dashboard is in chronological order of posts and reblogs from people you follow. "based on your likes!" is a joke and they removed that feature in a week

2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashes

3) the vast majority of posts on a person's blog tend to be reblogs. think 90% or so. some of those will have that person commenting on it, and more will have tags

4) comments stay on reblog chains, while tags only show up on your reblog of that post. it's kind of like a whisper voice. in either case, both op and the person you reblogged from see that in their notifications

5) tags don't go in the body of the post. writing "staying in #lasvegas" won't make it appear in the las vegas tag, it'll just look weird

6) it's totally normal to reblog and post multiple things in one day. it's normal to reblog the same post twice in a row. it's normal to have 100 posts+reblogs in a day. post limit (the total number of original posts and reblogs) for a single day is 250. you heard me. 250. go hog fucking wild

7) it defaults to having a visible likes tab on your blog (but only on your blog, not the dashboard) but most people toggle it off

8) "tumblr clout" is a fucking joke. no one can see your follower count, and no one makes money here. there are no influencers. enjoy not giving a shit about maintaining a public persona. it's all anonymous and your employers won't find you here

[hairasuntouchedaspartoftheamazon]

9) you're not expected to create a bio/carrd and in fact it often looks weird if you do

10) most people have varied interests and post about many different things, often right after one another. I, for example, post stuff about writing, sewing, about a dozen different fandoms, and anything that catches my interest.

11) actual personal information is rare, and usually only between two users who know each other.

12) Reblogs are encouraged, though it does make the post fucking long. (Often, though, long reblog conversations can turn into talking the the DMs and that's how you make internet friends, kids)

12b) long posts torture your followers, thus they are common and always inflicted upon everyone. Color of the sky will never die.

13) to reiterate, there is no clout. Popular users suffer because once a post breaches containment people will put all kinds of shit on it and that's before the fandoms get to it. Be cringe with no fear.

14) tags are both for public use and personal identification, most people have their own tags they use to keep track of their stuff, like #my writing or #sewing information. My personal favorite is #sebastian speaks about space pirates. Sky is the limit guys.

15) we all appreciate yet mildly mistrust staff.

[ronweasleysslut]

Remember reblogs are what help writers most. I appreciate every like and comment too don’t think i don’t but reblogs are what helps spread the writing we work hours on.

[se-to-oh]

16) When tagging triggering things, please write the word correctly. This is because some people blacklist certain words for their own well-being. For example, let’s suppose “yellow” is a bad word. Instead of tagging it as #y3llow, #y3ll0w or something, do tag it as #yellow for the safety and well-being of your followers.

Tumblr have a feature that censors certain words but it is restricted to the iOS systems and does nothing on android and desktop. 

17) If you keep the default icon or use a random selfie but have nothing on your tumblr, people will assume you are a bot and will block+report you. Years of porn bots plaguing us conditioned us to do so, it isn’t anything personal.

18) Roleplay blogs don’t like personals following them. Don’t reblog from them either. Reblog from everyone else but do not touch a roleplay blog’s posts.

mythology family ♥︎ morgan le fay for @mileniummfalcon

morgan le fay is a powerful enchantress in the arthurian legend. early appearances of morgan do not elaborate her character beyond her role as either a goddess, a fay or a sorceress, generally benevolent and related to king arthur as his magical savior and protector. she became more important and morally ambivalent in other texts, in particular in cyclical prose such as the lancelot-grail and the post-vulgate cycle, wherein she turns into a counter hero in a range of roles, including that of the antagonist in some tales. a significant aspect recurring in many of morgan’s medieval and later iterations, is the unpredictable duality of her nature, with the potential for good as well as evil.
