If you are silent about your pain they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it - Zora Neale Hurston

This is one of those posts where I feel like I'm doing others and myself a disservice by not sharing. I wish someone had shown me this a long time ago.

Maybe I'd be having to do less work to break out of this shell, now.

Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.

search.marginalia.nu is the search engine you want!

The search engine calculates a score that aggressively favors text-heavy websites, and punishes those that have too many modern web design features.

This is in a sense the opposite of what most major search engines do, they favor modern websites over old-looking ones. Most links you find here will be nearly impossible to find on a regular search engine, as they aren’t sufficiently search engine optimized.

“It is a search engine, designed to help you find what you didn’t even know you were looking for. If you search for “Plato”, you might for example end up at the Canterbury Tales. Go looking for the Canterbury Tales, and you may stumble upon Neil Gaiman’s blog.

If you are looking for fact, this is almost certainly the wrong tool. If you are looking for serendipity, you’re on the right track. When was the last time you just stumbled onto something interesting, by the way?

I don’t expect this will be the next “big” search engine. This is and will remain a niche tool for a niche audience.“

i clicked around for a few minutes searching various things and I now have two fourteenth century pie crust recipes and an apple filling recipe i want to try, so thanks!

ms-demeanor

it has been twenty minutes and I am deeply in love with this search engine.

INCREDIBLE. I *do* want to know how to test Windows 95 for Y2K Compliance and I am glad that someone is still hosting step by step instructions for that.

tl;dr: search.marginalia.nu for the old or old looking and just plain serendipitous stuff that google or Duck duck go are gonna not find/bury on the 20th page. For perfectly good reasons, but …

My absolute favorite part of having made this post - other than causing people to be introduced to this site - are the people in the tags/comments talking about their interests and stuff they found about their hobbies.

Good luck out there surfing the cyberweb, you crazy cats. I love the shoelace website too - Ian’s Shoelace Site [link], unless there’s another. My personal favorite old-school site is Alysion’s string figure collection [link].

getting over the fear of being bad is so fucking hard… like, it’s literally a super power if you can start something and say ‘it doesn’t matter if it’s bad, it just matters that it exists’

‘bad’ is so terrifying, ‘bad’ is wrecking, and the ability to apply self-compassion to things deemed ‘bad’ is beyond amazing, to understand not everything in life will be ‘good’ and that’s okay

essays, art, novels, school, relationships, anyone out there starting things when they are terrified of the arbitrary metric of the result… I am so fucking proud of you, you are so brave and strong

keep starting new things, even if ‘bad’ is a possibility

I’m a goldsmith and hand engraver and got told we have a client who wants a particular themed signet ring with a bonkers high budget and that I should come up with some designs for it. In describing what he said he wanted the manager said ‘he said it was his special interest’ and immediately I was like ‘I need to meet him. I can research and design this for months and months or I can listen to him for 30 minutes and take notes, which do you want?’

It’s interesting to note that that the garments that have a cross over style when worn correctly are all worn with the left breast over the right.

That is because these countries tend to wrap right over left when they are wrapping the dead.

[video ID: TikTok by user melemaikalanimakalapua. They are a Polynesian person with curly brown hair, wearing a red sleeveless top, orange floral long skirt, and have yellow bands draped around their head and neck. They are dancing a traditional hula to a song sung by a choir of children and adults, featured in the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch, called "He Mele No Lilo". They are dancing outside on a concrete patio under a wood and thatch overhead structure, surrounded by palms and other plants. Words across the screen as they dance read:

I've seen a lot of polynesians under this sound the last few days and it makes me so happy to see hula danced with respect. Hula is a religious practice. It is sacred. It tells a story.

This song is for Lili'uokalani who was the first Queen and last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawai'i.

She ruled from January 29, 1891 until the illegal overthrow of the kingdom of Hawai'i on January 17, 1893.

This song is also for King Kalakaua who reigned from 1874-1891. He brought back hula after our people were banned and beaten for dancing. He brought back pride for the Hawaiian people. He is my great (x5) uncle through cheifess Wao ❤️

We were forbidden to speak our native tongue which is why many can't today. It is a dying language. We're still fighting to get back what we lost.

{here the dancer bows with their arms outstretched as the music calms; they resume dancing as the music swells again with energy} Here I am giving my respect and bowing. Meaning of lyrics right now: Greatest praise to her majesty. Lili'uokalani the Wohi ruler (Ruler of the land and to the throne).

Hula tells a story. Back then we did not have a written language so we passed down stories, legends and history through our hula so we can remember without writing it down.

You can only learn hula through a kumu in a halau. Please search for one. You cannot learn yourself. ❤️ please do your research on things you do not understand or just ask.

The dancer bows to the camera, then strikes and end pose with the last drum beats. End ID].

Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.

Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.

Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

hello. me and my mom need serious help. we’re both homeless along with being disabled and immunocompromised. we’re both having issues with declining health but my mom’s doing so much worse. she’s having an issue with a kidney and will probably need surgery soon. we’re still working out if and when. she’s also reaching 60 and at this point it’s extremely unsafe for her especially to be stuck outside. she’s having a lot of trouble doing basic things. we need help making enough for a place to stay, just for a bit. she’s working on getting disability payments too but that’s going slowly. the cheapest place locally is $45 a night. anything at all would help so much. if you can’t donate, reblogging would mean a lot to us. thank you.
