lost access to this account, didnt log in for 7+ years, lost pikmin url in changeover (in 2017..?). tumblr added account recovery at some point between my last login and now. yay

not sure how often i’ll post but with twitter going so sideways, i’ll try this site again? 

will likely delete my vintage blogposts too, notes on that beneath the cut

it was hard to make that decision bc i don’t usually feel strongly about removing embarrassing minutia of my youth from the internet. having a time capsule of being a teen online is cool and rare for me bc i deleted both all of my super old socmed like deviantarts lol

w/ that said as recently as 2021 someone felt it was appropriate to DM my ex from 2013 and bothered them/other people we still know to this day based on opinions of the breakup we both Posted Through on here back then

secondhand embarrassing for the person involved and thankfully neither my ex nor i were in danger over it, it was just kind of a rare shared moment of “wow get a load of this guy” 

but now that i can get back on here and clean house a little, i truly do not need to leave up anything that would enable people who are gonna be Like That. especially not towards someone like my ex whos doing nothing to invite it

The vulture capitalist hedge fund that bought and subsequently destroyed Toys R Us now owns Overdrive/Libby.

They have already begun making it worse/less usable and they have a chokepoint monopoly on the delivery method of ebooks borrowed from public libraries in the US.

A fun thing about capitalism is that rich people can buy something a lot of people love and depend on, and then destroy it for fun and profit, and there’s not really anything we can do about it.

The Coming Enshittification of Public Libraries

Global investment vampires have positioned themselves to suck our libraries dry

And now they’re in closing negotiations to buy Simon and Schuster. I’m sure this will have no negative consequences for books at all.

Oodles of Pleco Plushies!!! They’re for sale on my website: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/ I’ve been working really hard to update my Bristlenose (Ancistrus) pattern so it’s more accurate to the real fish. I love these fish so much and wanted to do them justice. They have suction cups for mouths so you can stick them to smooth surfaces!!
