Download 30-gigs of lost cassettes from the 80s underground

Archive.org unleash a windfall of lost music

Archive.org deliver a windfall of lost music.

If you’re looking for a good way to spend the rest of your week, Archive.org have unearthed a gigantic collection of cassettes from the mid-eighties into the mid-nineties. According to their notes, the collection was saved from the archives of noise-arch.net and donated by former CKLN-FM radio host Myke Dyer in August of 2009. Due to the size and obscurity, the collection hasn’t been properly notated but is said to include cassettes ranging from “tape experimentation, industrial, avant-garde, indie, rock, DIY, subvertainment and auto-hypnotic materials”. Head to Archive now to download the free collection.

Chick-fil-A mounts PR campaign to push back against its anti-LGBTQ+ reputation - LGBTQ Nation

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.

[tehjleck]

me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

me: no surprises there... fuck them

sandwich recipe

We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.

[jfk-blown-away-blog]

The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.

Not getting a ton of reporting in US news, but the Trump administration is going after donors to Palestine, including going as far as international extradition under the guide of "counterterrorism"

“We are so, so sorry. If there are any damages— oh for fuck’s sake, Peri, you opened fire?” SecUnit put in, “Yes, with its giant fucking rail cannons. Excuse me, its debris deflection system.”

SecUnit is still bitter (chp. 1)

Following Protocol by Astral_Insanity (AO3) The Murderbot Diaries – General – Martyn/Seth, ART/Murderbot #Fluff #Fluff and Humor #ART and MB are friends and lovers AND a secret third thing #Seth thinks ART's feelings of rapport are unrequited #Little does he know their administrative assistance is MUTUAL #Seth POV #wyd when your spaceship brings home a corporate death machine #and makes big sad eyes at you #Iris is a nosy but supportive older sister #who likes watching ART get in trouble #as siblings do #Seth doesn't get enough credit for having dealt with ART and Iris for so long #ART BABY PICTURES NOT CLICKBAIT (kinda)

Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

«Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad-»

“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

[freak-motion]

cutest scene in murderbot history btw

[mypatchworkreflection]

This is indeed the cutest shit ever!

🥰💞🥰💞🥰

I'd love to recommend this fanfic about what happens after this, when Seth and Martyn find out about SecUnit, and then get to know it.

It's by @bleeding-seraphic

It's so funny and sweet, and really explores ART's family relationships

🥰🥰🥰

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

i'm actually not sure why sphaerodactylus are often called least geckos but i have to assume its just one of the least amounts of gecko you can get
