some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

this is back in my notes and I love the number of people in the rbs who think that by “here” I meant “tumblr” and that ofc abed would do numbers bc he’s autistic and gay and into various tv shows but what EYE meant by “here” was “mashblr”, specifically “the corner of mashblr where we understand that the CBS war dramedy M*A*S*H (1972-1983) exists in a timeloop”

remembering that i cant say “i need to kill and eat him” off of tumblr as a way to say i like an actor

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

I will occasionally see people bashing The Evils of Consumerism re:books - I have seen people saying things like "Well, I know is a bad habit of buying new books-".

Profit margins in publishing are really thin. Even if I'm not reading it RIGHT NOW, I do want the publisher to keep publishing the series!

Libraries are great, but if you have the money to buy books it is also great to support the authors you like!

Sales determine what they publish in the future. If nobody buys it, they're not going to make more of them.

also in twenty years time you’ll realise that your fave childhood author is a) now dead and b) their books have been out of print for years and c) they were actually pretty obscure and d) because of the above they’re no longer in many libraries and you can’t find your most favourite one of theirs ANYWHERE.

Buy books, if you can.

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”

The sitemaker (Josh Mayfield at https://bsky.app/profile/bean525.bsky.social) has asked for people to come in and kick its tires so he can work out any bugs they turn up. So do give him a hand, if you feel inclined. :)

(also, deeply amused by this one...)

Fantastic article!! The guys looking for it were fish researchers who saw it one time, knew instantly it was an undescribed species, and then tried for nearly 20 years to find and document it!
