Support TV art/entertainment. Support physical media. Support second hand video game and DVD trade-ins. Cinemas. Theaters. Pantomimes. Stage plays.

I know we can’t afford to have them right now. But trust me when I say that we can’t afford to lose them either.

Please - if you can. It helps more than you realize.

It’s more of a convienence than the previously mentioned but try to support streaming services as little as possible. Let them know that we don’t like where the TV art/entertainment industry is going.

Let them know we do not want to lose the experience of sharing our favourite TV shows, movies and games.

Yes. You can theoretically do that with streaming too. But it’s an entirely different experience and it’s not what TV art/entertainment is for or about. We’re losing our passion for creativity. Innovation and artistry by feeding into the big technology moguls that do not give a shit about visual and audial connected experiences.

It’s expensive and it’s an inconvenience. I know.

But the people who care need you more than you know.

I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

History Man: The Life of R. G. Collingwood

History Man: The Life of R. G. Collingwood This is the first biography of the last and greatest British idealist philosopher, R. G. Collingwood (1889-1943), a man who both thought and lived at full pitch. Best known today for his philosophies of history and art, Collingwood was also a historian, archaeologist, sailor, artist, and musician. A figure of enormous energy and ambition, he took as his subject nothing less than the whole of human endeavor, and he lived in the same way, seeking to experience the complete range of human passion. In this vivid and swiftly paced narrative, Fred Inglis tells the dramatic story of a remarkable life, from Collingwood's happy Lakeland childhood to his successes at Oxford, his archaeological digs as a renowned authority on Roman Britain, his solo sailing adventures in the English Channel, his long struggle with illness, and his sometimes turbulent romantic life. In a manner unheard of today, Collingwood attempted to gather all aspects of human thought into a single theory of practical experience, and he wrote sweeping accounts of history, art, science, politics, metaphysics, and archaeology, as well as a highly regarded autobiography. Above all, he dedicated his life to arguing that history--not science--is the only source of moral and political wisdom and self-knowledge. Linking the intellectual and personal sides of Collingwood's life, and providing a rich history of his milieu, History Man also assesses Collingwood's influence on generations of scholars after his death and the renewed recognition of his importance and interest today.
