#the 2010s

[existennialmemes]

I have not emotionally adapted to being in the 2020s enough for it to already be 2026.

People keep saying completely ridiculous things like "2024 was two years ago" and that can't be possible because the 2010s were 2yrs ago.

The Bog King

does anyone even remember this movie? Who am I kidding, this is Tumblr, of course these people do

I watched Strange Magic for the first time about a year ago and omg it was so awful and campy I loved it. THE fourteen year-old girl anthem: (What doesn’t kill you makes you) Stronger? Be so fr?

I remember thinking the whole time “hey this would really benefit from having original songs and/or being a stage play instead” only to find out it was an adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream

anyway I just have a really good memory and drew these up while listening to the talks in church from the other day

I’m currently cleaning up my phone storage, and I found this gem from Electric Forest back in June 2022. “Language” by Porter Robinson brings back college and grad school memories for me! Times flies. This festival feels like it happened last week.

If the 2000s were defined by Technology and The Internet (mainly gadgets that became outdated and websites we don't anymore).

Then the 2010s were defined by Smartphones and the Internet.

Which makes me think the 2020s will be defined by all the nasty aftereffects of the Technology and the Internet being a "thing" for over 20 years. Smartphone addiction, social media burnout, increasing rates of anxiety and depression, a general loss of social skills amongst certain generations, and other things and stuff that society hasn't touched on.

20 years ago people weren't glued to their phones at all. Then again 20 years ago, all phones could do is take and make calls, and send and receive texts and voice messages. Now, the average phone is basically a mini computer.

Some people will have the TV on in their living room, while their laptop is on their lap or desk, while they are looking at their phone. With endless visual overstimulaltion. I wonder how good this is for mental health in the long-term. If anything, it can't be good.

I do! This week, Emily and V talk commentfic and comment memes back in the LJ days because the "Let's Get Gay Married!" Commentfic Meme started this week in fandom history as a celebration of marriage equality passing into law in New York state. Plus, a rundown on what commentfic and comment memes were like since they've mostly gone the way of the dinosaur -- largely extinct -- and they were a magical time in fannish collaboration. Did you participate in commentfic or comment memes? And how did you celebrate marriage equality?

This Week In Fandom History is a fandom-centric podcast that tells you… what happened this week in fandom history!
