*I'm not the previous anon!

Your talk of chrysalis quarterly made me remember something lol. So, when I was in university, my major required that I work around archival material pretty often. One session, the instructors dug out all these magazines. Although I no longer remember what the task was, I remember sticking by one table in particular and taking photos as if they were for assignment help after hours.

What was in the particular magazines at my table? Adult entertainment ads, sexy calendars, underwear models (all men).

Newsflash, lad, you're super fucking trans.

dskjdsfalkfjds, yes!! archives are really important to me. (god, y'all are so good about prodding my hyperfixations... we've gone from deer to marimbas to archives in the span of a week... i'm gonna pass out...)

i think archives are an incredibly important thing when it comes to preserving our possibility! you're actually not the first person who i've talked to about their tv flickering in an archival context!!

i also think it's really sad that we have to do so much digging in archives to find ourselves because archives are generally spearheaded by white cishet people and they don't describe us properly enough for us to find ourselves!! that's why i like projects like the digital transgender archive, which basically take trans and gender diverse archives from other institutions and... basically treat them better...

there's some issues with having trans media online but it also gets away from the surveillance of archives. (there's actually A LOT of interesting research on archives being surveillance-oriented and how that limits marginalized folks from interacting with archives. tbh you taking pictures is very brave imo because the combination of having to ask for permission to see the materials + being watched by someone at a reference desk as i interact stresses ME OUT.)

but HELL YEAH TO YOU for that. <33

so i really like community archives. actually, if you're interested in archives at all, i highly recommend archive-stories! the website is beautiful but it also showcases a lot of community-driven approaches to being memory keepers.

my favorite that i've read through is the syrian cassette archives!

it’s crazy how absolutely blatantly luigi’s constitutional rights are being breached and people seem more concerned about his appearance than a real, scary view of the power CEOs and the healthcare industry have over the legal system. like yeah he looks good in those photos i can appreciate that too but can we focus on the fact that the media is absolutely treating him as if he has already been found guilty. this could happen to anyone. anyone could be arrested over the death of a wealthy, influential person and the precedent being set right now is essentially that the prosecution can run wild and create documentaries declaring your guilt. like that’s really serious and scary.

#i’m not american so i don’t know much about their legal system #but this absolutely should not be happening. it’s abhorrent that this trial might continue and that the evidence shown in the documentary #might be admissible #if he is found guilty. this is a TERRIFYING precedent #luigi mangione #not to mention his treatment is absolutely wild #like i said im not american so idk the court processes but im sure its absolutely wild that the shooting of 1 man #is being charged in 3 jurisdictions and is facing the death penalty #like im sorry aren’t there literal mass shooters in the US who have gotten lesser punishment

It's in the eye of the beholder

#comic #birds #my art #I've had this idea for a while #after a lecture that talked about how traits we consider cute are traits found in babies #I feel like birds would have a very different definition of cute from us #anyway after making the bird tutorial I feel the pressure to draw perfect bird anatomy #but tbh I still just wing it a lot of the time!!#hehe “wing it”

Stumbled upon this random ship (in a fandom im not active in myself) that has like 150 works on ao3 which are all from just two people gifting each other fics about this pairing back and forth and theyve been doing it for 3 years... i think thats true love probably

#theyre also pretty well written but a bit repetitive i found #good stuff tho #i just think its super cute that these two have been doing this for so long and built up such a collection of fics on their own #very impressive #mine

I was about to write: I love the fact that Katniss‘ first reaction to Haymitch‘s absolutely traumatising story is „You need some goose eggs. Goose eggs will help.“

And then I realised… She‘s mimicking Peeta. Peeta comes back to 12 and the first thing he does is plant primroses. And somehow… that helped her. So she‘s doing the same thing for Haymitch.
