Don't let society peer pressure you. If you want it to be Halloween, then it is Halloween. Wear a costume to the grocery store. Cackle. Cavort.

Carve a watermelon. Give your neighbors candy. No one can stop you. Their calendar-limited expectations cannot control you anymore.

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

The little staticy feeling of the tv

The soft blue glow around the room

You know you should be asleep in bed so you try to be quiet.

Eventually falling asleep to the gentle murmurs of the movie

Waking up to the sound of end credits music

Every kid deserves to experience this

PHYSICAL MEDIA. GO GET SOME

IN A TIME OF CENSORSHIP PHYSICAL MEDIA IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. YOU LIKE A MOVIE OR BOOK WITH AN MESSAGE THAT REALLY MAKES YOU THINK? GET IT PHYSICALLY. DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO ERASE KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION IF EVERYTHING’S ON A KINDLE OR AMAZON PRIME??? VINYL. BOOKS. KNOWLEDGE. NO ONE CAN TAKE KNOWLEDGE FROM YOU. BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING AND WE CANNOT LET THEM. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. YOU ARE LOVED <3

[thebonesofhoudini]

Buy physical media. Buy CDs. Buy records. Buy tapes. Buy books. Buy physical artwork or prints. Take photos of yourself and get them developed at a photo processing booth. Write your thoughts down in a journal. Why? Because as this world get more digital, what's physical will slowly but surely disappear. There will be less things you can touch and feel, and more things that you can see and not touch. You can post all the digital pics you want on social media...nothing is assured and those pics and those platforms could be gone in an instant. An album on streaming platforms will never be the same as the original album in your hand with the liner notes, as versions of that album can get removed, and/or replaced with re-recorded material (since the artist doesn't own their masters). Books go out of print. And staring at a jpeg (no matter how much you paid for it *cough cough* NFTs) of an artwork will never be the same as owning the actual artwork or a print of it.

Preserve these things. If not for yourself, then for future generations.

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.

To those curious some other keystone library species include:

—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals

—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves

—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list

—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)

—kids who like Minecraft

[nitewrighter]

---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song

I don't see enough people mourning over the slow death of physical media. And I don't just mean TV shows, video games, or movies--which don't even get me started about how we don't really 'own' anything anymore. It includes notes, journals, and letters to one another...so much of our history is lost when we lose a password, a website goes down, a file/hardware is corrupted, or a platform disappears. History that doesn't seem important until you no longer have access to it. Physical media does a lot for memory recall. How many memories will we lose because we don't have something tangible to tie it back to? Something to hold in our hands and stir up those memories we thought were once lost? Sometimes I wonder what the difference between burning a book and losing access to physical media is when someone can pull the plug and remove your access so easily.

"but physical media is worse quality and will break with time" I DON'T CARE! I WANT TO OWN THINGS I LIKE! I WANT SHELVES FULL OF DVDS, CDS, AND A LIBRARY!

Daryl’s outburst at Beth is painful to watch—he’s lashing out at someone who doesn’t know any better, driven by shame and anger so deep that he can’t even play a simple game because he never had a normal life. He lists things that might seem mundane, like frozen yogurt, but to him, they represent something he never had: the freedom to want, to dream, to ask for things every kid should be able to. His anger, grief, and self-loathing make him lash out at Beth, seeing her as someone who had an easy life—someone weak in his eyes—so he tries to hurt her with words and actions. But Beth, with her empathy and compassion, sees through the rage and comforts him, allowing him to finally grieve.

Later, when they talk, he admits he was no one—just Merle’s shadow. He is painfully vulnerable, ashamed of having done nothing with his life. But Beth tells him he doesn’t have to be just that, that he can leave it behind. It’s a rare moment of hope for him, a glimpse of something more, and we'll never see him so open about it again. Beth was special
