also "ough life-saving essential medical equipment uses so much plastic" in this country you can purchase an artificial ballsack for your pickup truck
"ough watching a show uses so much electricity" on road sides there are giant electrified billboards that do nothing but show you ads
Thank you for the perspective check

this terrible distant blurry shot of two pigeons is one of my favourite photos out of any pic Iâve ever taken I think
Carousel Dogs by Tim Racer
I do not "render." I do not "shade." I do not "paint," I do not "detail" and i do not draw "Backgrounds." I draw BLAND CHARACTERS standing in WHITE VOIDS And if it doesn't look good i GIVE UP.

Hehehehehe
Can I fucking help you?
finally made a little zine from all the photos i took of various wires and machines and pylons and etc
this was sooo fun i need to get it printed
Another thing thatâs cool about fanfiction: itâs as long as it needs to be.
Well, sometimes itâs longer than anything on Godâs green earth needs to be, but my point is that thereâs really no rules about fic length. In traditional publishing thereâs this awkward middle where nobody wants to print a novella thatâs too long for a short story collection but doesnât really fill out a book. Ebooks have changed that somewhat but itâs still a convention that a book is about 75,000 words.
Fanfic is not bound by this standard. If your story takes 25,000 words to tell, then you can do that, and there are readers for whom thatâs a sweet spot. If you just want to keep going and going for 350,000 words and beyond, nobodyâs going to say âonly famous authors with grand ideas get to do thatââtext is low bandwidth and there are readers who will love the feeling that your story is a home where theyâre invited to stay as long as they like.
Sometimes restrictions breed creativity, and some writers need to be forced to edit themselves. But some writers know exactly what theyâre doing when they make a story a certain length, and itâs awesome that the Internet has created spaces that put no limits on that.
honestly kinda unfortunate that the only spooky library aesthetic is the victorian fancy bookshelves dark academia one bcos like. ok here's some library stories.
while i was at the university the library was undergoing a major refurbishment so for a little while the print journals were being stored temporarily down in the basement.
basically nobody ever consulted the print journals bcos 99% of stuff undergrads would be looking up is online these days so every time i went down there it was dead fucking silent & empty. you had to walk through what felt like several miles of empty basement to reach the collection, which was in a room w a photocopier shoved in the corner and a bunch of these:
u turn the handles to move these around (saves space) and every time you had to go and check the aisles first on the offchance that someone was in there so they wouldn't get u know. Compacted.
many years ago i did a week's work experience with the National Library of Scotland. here it is:
but that's just the tip of the iceberg. it keeps going down the side of the bridge, like so:
i got a tour of the stacks while i was there. it's floor after floor of this:
the bookshelves are made of metal & i was treated to the 'fun fact' that the shelves are, bizarrely, load bearing. for this reason they have to be constantly vigilant about fire hazards because even a relatively small fire could cause a bookcase to buckle from the heat, which in turn could cause the whole building to collapse in on itself like a house of cards.
this has haunted me ever since!! thank you.
adding onto this as someone who spends a lot of time in library/archive settings
if not locked, the stacks (compound shelving) WILL move and they will NOT stop. you can actually get hurt in them
a lot of archives are temperature/humidity controlled so it's always pretty cold in there, and you're prone to hitting random cold spots
old stuff creaks. bad. some artefacts will make random popping sounds
there are mannequins for textiles and old clothes and they are so scary in the corner of the eye (and even in direct vision)
the archive i worked at had motion controlled lights and so you'd walk into pitch blackness and have to just hope you didn't run into a stack. they always came on late.
an empty archive is so scary. the bigger it is the scarier, and you're often alone. the archivist i worked for once sent me in and went "just pick whatever looks cool" EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. I FELT SO SMALL. humbling experience.
paintings. that's it. that's the point.
some stuff reeks
museums often have a lot of mask type things of really wild expressions which can be actually terrifying to see out of the corner of your eye.
The library at UNCG not only looks like a cinderblock prison from the outside, it looks like the backrooms on the inside
far from prudish but just got blazed porn of someone's pussy spread out so hard and up close like it's a map of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth and I'm king and grand duke sigismund II augustus inspecting his lands to plot defense against the swedes
