This one came out much better I think.

[pitchburgh]

So cassette manufacture in the west fell off HARD right around y2k. Labels began opting to release new music to the North American and European markets on CD exclusively in the new millennium in the face of dwindling demand for the magnetic tape format.

However, in a few parts of the would - especially Indonesia - demand for cassettes continued for almost a decade beyond that, because tapes remained the majority format there. So those same (western) labels recognized their market and continued to release cassettes (of western music) in Southeast Asia!

Some tape collectors claim that these tapes are lower-quality in terms of both physical materials and sound engineering. They miiight be right about indie releases; but BASF, a major magnetic tape producer, operated a plant in Indonesia that manufactured high-quality, humidity resistant tape for legitimate duplicators. So the assertion that Indonesian tapes are "bad" is typically incorrect. (Also, as an aside, I'm perplexed by people who get snobby about cassettes... like bro, this is the dive bar of music collecting. you're really gonna sit there and critique the tasting notes of your $2 Miller Lite?) But even if the tapes were low-quality, I adore physical media. There are a few "holy grails" I'd want in my collection even if they were literally unplayable.

And some of those holy grails came out between 2000-2009.

ANYWAY, now that I've shared a little background, a little brown package arrived at my house in the mail yesterday, alllllll the way from Indonesia!!

Absolutely thrilled to add these to my collection!

Ok, I gotta talk about how PHM-coded Shadow of the Day by Linkin park is, bc I fear I might explode otherwise

Look at these Lyrics!

Verse 1 I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way, ah-ah

-> that's basically just Stratt's POV when she has to talk to Grace and tell him that he has to go on the mission, that it's the only way

Chorus The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you

-> THE SUN WILL SET FOR YOU???? LIKE THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THE MISSION IS ABOUT?! Saving the Sun is literally THE thing -> Shadow of the day/World in gray kind of symbolizing death/endings, referencing the whole suicide mission part of it all and Stratt knowing she has to send Grace to his death. UGH </3

Verse 2 In cards and flowers on your window Your friends all plead for you to stay Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh, oh

-> even though Stratt tells Grace that "you don't even have a dog", Grace was undoubtably loved by his students, his colleagues and in some sort of way by Stratt too (obv only platonically). Noone wanted him to go, but (knew they) he had to. And I mean we literally see the good luck quilt and the little childrens drawings Grace tapes to Rocky's enclosure while he waits for him to wake up again AND the little fox figure and that one medal Stratt left Grace. Like those are his cards and flowers.

anyway, thank you for listening to my madness and if anyone happends to feel inspired to make something phm-related with this song or has made something already PLEASE tag me. If I had the time/energy/skill I would 100 % make an animatic or something with it

It is time to listen to Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns (2010) front to back once again

[daryaspace]

I’m still really into the idea to draw Chester and Mike later this year , let hope I’ll have the time and energy to actually do it 🤞

Tumblr will not die, but this post is Wafrn propaganda

I dont think tumblr will shut down. It may go the "twitter way", it may get worse service, worse moderation (EVEN WORSE YES), and worse support and worse performance.

But it wont suddenly shut down forever. Outages will be longer and more frequent but thats it.

Now, the wafrn propaganda I promised: if you care about a social media that doesn't overtarget the baning of trans people, you should give wafrn a try.

A website inspired by tumblr, that connects with mastodon and bluesky (ok mastodon, fedi etc but you get it)

It allows custom CSS themes, asks, and lots of stuff.

You can do more than like a post, you can EMOJIREACT to it!

An important bit, since it connects with mastodon and bluesky, you can follow other people you know from tumblr. I will keep this linked post updated

ok waffles, so you're coming from tumblr. List of people you may already know from tumblr @wilwheaton.net (bluesky required) @[email protected]

We also have a phone app in beta, both for iphone and android wich you can download here

Registrations are manualy reviewed by the small modteam. Depending on the timezone it can take a few minutes or 12 hours. For safety reasons we do not allow registrations with VPNs (they get abused for accounts dedicated to harrasment and other stuff that I will not disclose for your mental health).

You should give wafrn a try:

Wafrn, the social media that respects you

Wafrn is a social media inspired by tumblr that connects with the fediverse

How do we plan to host everyone without money? THATS THE NEAT PART, WE DONT! If for any reason you dislike how we handle stuff, you can always host your own wafrn for you and your friends (we are working on the documentation, this is after all a hobby project atm). You can host your own wafrn and still connect with people at bluesky, mastodon and our wafrn server :D

[wafrn]

Fediverse & Bluesky tumblr is here

Wafrn, the social media that respects you

Wafrn is a social media inspired by tumblr that connects with the fediverse

It lacks some essential tumblr features like:

Porn prohibition (its allowed)

Staff harrasing trans women (we dont do that)

Baning trans people for posting selfies (WE DONT DO THAT)

Not Allowing Female Representing Nipples (WAFRN stands for We Allow Female Representing Nipples)

Thanks, but my frustration manifests itself emotionally, and then, uh, I get upset, and then it looks like I can't handle things, and, you know, then I can't cry in front of the patient because no one wants to see their doctor cry.
