"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?

my propaganda for the Farseer trilogy

[dk-thrive]

“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, Talking on the Water: Conversations about Nature and Creativity (Trinity University Press, October 11, 2016) (via Alive on All Channels)

I’ve been thinking a lot ab this

[drysqu1d]

i tend to avoid discourse because most of it is trite and pointless but just this once i feel like i need to state my opinion: i think everyone should bend to my dark and evil will

8 words, 9 book titles. (This is why I can never remember which book I’m on in the final trilogy)

[pigeon-princess]

I've recently started reading the Realm of the Elderlings series for the first time and I've never fallen in love with a book series so fast!! I feel CRAZY! Here's some Fitz + The Fool (pls no spoilers in the replies I beg)

work tomorrow is one of the worst things that can happen to you

[uptownthots]

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

actually super basic archival preservation for your personal belongings

label and date everything

dont use adhesives on important stuff they degrade really quickly and can damage things

some paper is much more acidic than others and will degrade and damage things touching it. newspaper and construction paper are the worst and will mess up other papers theyre next to

printed photographs have chemicals that can react really badly to temperatures and dampness and you should keep them separate from other materials

soft and thin plastics also degrade really quickly (unless theyre archival grade) and are the worst to deal with

keep a copy of digital files in at least one separate location (flash drive or hard drive)

personally i think everyone should do this because its worth having a record of your life

[determinate-negation]

a few more things

some inks will fade over time or bleed onto whatever theyre on. archival ink is a thing but there are also just some inks that are more stable

rubber bands break within a few years, paper clips and staples will rust and damage the paper if theyre not made of the right material

exposing photos or any material with colors to light for a while will obviously degrade them over time and theres not much you can to do restore them at that point

you lowkey should print out digital correspondence or materials if you want to keep them long term and be able to find them regardless of what happens to that email domain, website etc. its not uncommon to have printed out email threads in archival collections

these seem to have been more common in the 70s-90s but those photo albums with thin plastic and slight adhesive pages are terrible and will damage your photos and make them stuck forever

this is what acidic paper does to anything its touching after a few decades so watch out

home-burned CD's/DVD's degrade in like 10 to 20 years. flash drives/SSD's need to be powered up now and again to be able to retain their data without getting corrupted (they generally only guarantee data for 1 year without power, although data might stay uncorrupted for a lot longer). Hard drives are more reliable over a longer time of storage.

(i transferred all my old school projects and photos and data and pirated stuff from binders full of burned dvd's to hard drives a few years back and only like half of the files were still recoverable after ~15 years).
