the whole idea that you need to "have something worth saying" before you put yourself out there or make a little page, is backwards. running a little site, like human expression, is about just being you, being dumb, being creative for no reason! there doesnt have to be a grand purpose. be stupid

Rewatching it now, Born In Flames (1983) is a film worth watching in this moment. https://archive.org/details/born-in-flames-1983

This Berenstain Bears lunchbox from 1993 captures a simpler time, before internet misinformation and social media, when the family computer primarily provided us with incomplete jigsaw puzzles, treble clefs, apples, and live fish

Reading about FYPCore, I feel honor bound to point out that this yet another trend trans folks were ahead of the curve on. We were soundtracking before/after transition videos to Miley Cyrus's "The Climb" back in 2012.

Trans people and our rights are not a “distraction.” We are real people who live and die and deserve care and dignity and access to public spaces.

Something I think is really important to internalize is that everyone is capable of doing inadvertent harm, and the scope of that potential harm grows in proportion to any vector of power or privilege. Being a good person isn't innocence. It's vigilance, accountability, and course-correction

Also, it's worth noting that even in 1997, folks within the trans community foresaw this possible future. (Newsletter is from the UMich archives.)

With all this Meta news, I'm going to have to revise my joke: Meta doesn't want to become dot-com boom AOL but instead its failed precursor Quantum Link, which also removed queer spaces when they became a liability: https://archive.org/details/gaycommunitynews1420gayc/page/n1/mode/2up?q=quantum+link

Web 1.0 was an incredible democratization of the Internet. Anyone and everyone would make their own little chunk of the Web, and everyone had a voice out there. Web 2.0 killed that. It made it so the big players only had the real voice. Google, Facebook, etc. We need our voices again.

As someone deeply passionate about online community preservation, not only is this a great essay, it really gets at why such preservation matters. Not every interaction needs to be saved, but these communities deserve to be remembered.

Kinda love that along with bringing the fashions of the 90s back we are back to the moral panic discourse about how playing video games makes killers. like there isn’t a whole field of experts who spent decades studying this and the answer is no (to both that and low rise jeans)
