when I was in college in the 1990s I took a document design course and we had to go talk to an archivist at the university library

the library had a single page from a gutenberg bible (the bible had been damaged by fire and the remaining undamaged pieces cut apart and sold) and a CD sitting next to each other

we looked at the bible page, marveling at this 500+ year old page with its neatly set type, carefully kept under a sheet of glass to protect it

and then she held up the CD and pointed out that in 500 years, if a CD could even last that long, it was unlikely we'd possess the technology to read it

and we all got very quiet and look at the book page for a long time

and is evidenced by the fact I'm telling you about this almost 30 years later, I have never forgotten that blank-looking shiny piece of plastic sitting next to a beautiful, ancient piece of paper that someone pressed words into with a machine and left for me to read, hundreds of years before I was born.

Against people you didnt even know you could be racist against, on top of the racism against the people are usually racist against.

There's this post going around for an art piece that is a racist sign in Iceland.

The sign says "Any thefts will be prosecuted." but not in either Icelandic or English, the two most common languages in Iceland. Instead, it's written fifteen times in the most common immigrant languages.

And it is a -DAMNING- piece of art. 'Cause if you don't speak the languages on it you just kind of glance at it and look away, unaware of it's true meaning. Just like people look away from racism that doesn't affect them, personally, because they're unaware of it. It isn't part of their experience.

Fucking AMAZING art piece.

Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

I cannot stress enough to Tumblr staff that they do not need to change the site. Do not try to be like Twitter. Do not try to be like Reddit. Do not alter how this site works.

Tumblr will be the most popular social media site if they continue letting all these other sites implode
