I discovered that you could download some of the Babylon 5 sound effects, and thought, "Hey, that's fun! I should make a station ambience!"
I thought this ambience would take me a week or so to create.
Hahahaha.
Anyway, so five months passed...
But it's finally finished :)
I hope you enjoy exploring the station and that it helps you relax/sleep/study, or read <3
Leonid Pasternak (Ukrainian, 1862–1945) - The Torments of Creative Work
oh leonid, we're really in it now
Leonid, you really understand it.
Save me Leonid, from my empty Word document
Leonid what should I do about the emails
Babe are you okay? you reblogged Leonid Pasternak's Torments of Creative Work again
Leonid Pasternak is the best! My favorite of his is The Night Before The Exam (1895).
My man Leonid continues to be relatable
There's more:
I tell my cats not to annoy the ghost in the attic.
I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.
Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"
Tangara is an open source iPod clone, which includes bluetooth:
The music player you wish you had in the early 2000s
And right in time for me to quit spotify!

This is one of those works of art that sticks with you forever. My partner and I first saw this comic years ago and quote the “okay, but like…” in our dogs’ voice several times a week.
I do love that every dog owner who has ever seen this just immediately goes “using that forever”
We say this CONSTANTLY.
had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”
what the people want, the people get
you see
my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.
evidence as explained:
victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression
he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest
henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces
afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational
the book does not otherwise have central female characters
Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.
in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature
I was not expecting that last line.
every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me
just give me the top result please
Swear in your search request. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the most effective way I've found of it not doing the AI summary is just to add "fucking" go my search.
Holy shit
You're welcome! I can't claim credit to have come up with it, but very happy to spread it around 😄
This has taken hours of work comparing different, yet similar fonts and the book cover titles.
All completely hand drawn. I present my own version of the locked tomb font.
For your own use:
It’s currently only letters right now.
I will update as I work through numbers and symbols.
yes and

Some not so hot takes:
Tariffs = Higher prices
Mass deportations = broken communities

How can anyone disagree with this stuff dude
ok but the way he's still kind of getting outcunted by the guy on the left
Me only scrolling down enough to see the first photo: they should fuck about it
Scrolling down further: oh they are fucking about it. Excellent!

Spread their names!
Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.
elon is really mad about this so it would be a shame if people kept spreading the names around
"As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hinderance to my speed, I resolved therefore to make a being of a gigantic stature."
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) dir. mel brooks
“WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project, tasked by executive order with “modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” The engineers all hold nebulous job titles within DOGE, and at least one appears to be working as a volunteer. The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. None have responded to requests for comment from WIRED. Representatives from OPM, GSA, and DOGE did not respond to requests for comment.”

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover
This is insane. These children can’t even rent a car.
Why aren’t Democrats at Defcon 1? Honestly. I don’t understand why this is happening and there isn’t a loud and forceful response from the opposition. Schumer is droning on about the price of tomatoes, while these unvetted kids are installing root kits, for fuck’s sake.
thinking about the fact that Gideon grew up in the same exact place and with the same exact background as Harrow, yet there isn't one religious bone in her whole body and she just seems to not care at all about the Emperor or praying or religion as a whole.
thinking about the fact that she doesn't necessarily mock the Ninth for believing, but it's clear she doesn't. yet, she has to have spent at least some years of her life believing in the same religion because it was the only thing she ever knew and she was raised to possibly become a nun, so someone had to teach her about it.
thinking about how I personally stopped believing after growing up catholic and imagining a six years old Gideon Nav hiding in a corner of the Ninth just like I used to do in my house, praying the Emperor for someone to come and claim her, for her father to save her from Crux, from Harrow, from her life. thinking of Gideon going to the same corner day after day, maybe near her mother's burial niche, because in her naive mind that has turned into the praying-spot where God can hear her more clearly, for some reason. he doesn't usually listen to her, but maybe if she prays there he will actually listen to her and help her. and she keeps praying, every day, for weeks, months, years.
thinking of eleven years old Gideon Nav that has prayed and prayed and prayed and ultimately has decided that there must be no God, because he never once listened to her. not even when she asked for something small, something that the Kind Undying should have no problem granting her, since everyone always talks about how powerful he is and how many great things he has done.
or maybe there is a God, but he clearly doesn't care about her, just like everybody else, so why should she care about him?
There are so many reasons why I keep reading these books over and over again. And this is one of them.
I am finding out that a lot of things I thought were common knowledge about Christian Fundamentalism are not in fact common knowledge.
Like with the aid freeze, people were like why would they do this? And I was like cause they want churches to be the only option for aid.
And people were shocked. And I was also shocked that this wasn't like...more well known. I grew up with people who were anti-aid because they felt that belonged to the church and made people behave more worldly if they could get it elsewhere. It was so well known it was a debate topic in my Philosophy of Religion course in high school.
I'm just...I'm concerned at how little some groups seem to know about Christian Fundamentalism. I wish I could help translate more.
Yes! I've heard this as well!
One of my friends asked if they wanted people to die and I was so confused because yes, of course they do. That's a feature not a bug.
People in my church would talk about people who needed aid but didn't or couldn't work as parasites who represented an active threat to able bodied and working people. It's a zero sum game to them.
It's the coming eugenics that is in those thoughts processes that is really upsetting to me.
I grew up non-mormon in Utah and studied religion and I didn't not no until a few years ago that Fundamentalists don't think Catholics are Christian, it blew my mind.
Also, this article was helpful in understanding why they seem to think empathy is a sin. It's so bonkers and backwards!
Empathy is in the news, and not in a good way. With recent controversial statements by John Piper and resignations of multiple staff at the
ex-fundamentalist here! Some other things you may not know about them are:
-They want war so that Jesus will come back sooner and end the world. -They actively push against climate change action because they want the world to end. -The second the world begins forming any sort of united efforts for improvements or peace, they will immediately rail against it because they believe that is a Sign of the Times (aka end times) -They believe that Christianity (specifically theirs) should be the only religion and believe it's their moral duty to convert people -Because they believe their religion should be the only one, they also believe that their religions rules should be law.
Just some extra fun things I thought maybe y'all would find interesting.
I knew these things, just not the "you look 33 in heaven" and "Catholics aren't Christian" weird things. The "empathy is sin" is a new one too.
