Μόνο εγώ φαντασιώνομαι ομαδικό ξύλο σε τουρίστες στην Αθήνα και να παίζει δυνατά στα μεγάφωνα το τελευταίο δισκάκι από Σφάλμα;

γιατί σταμάτησες να γράφεις (ή έστω να μοιράζεσαι εδώ τα κείμενά σου);

Κάπως έχω βρει άλλες πλατφόρμες και μέσα, όχι απαραίτητα ίδιου τύπου, για αυτά τα μοιράσματα. Αλλά παραμένω εδώ μαζί με τον καφέ και τα τασάκια μου.

The fact that,

after centuries of academic and scholarly thought, thought whose output is materially (and now digitally) available,

and after almost a century of data management around the globe, with almost 30 years of digital data structures,

we are still unable to run ONE SINGLE, FREE TO ACCESS, REPOSITORY OF (non)CURATED COLLECTED KNOWLEDGE AROUND ONE EFFING TOPIC,

is killing me.

I've started collecting data, thank you for volunteering, @thearthistorianblogoffa

I know I'm just adding fuel to that fire, but,

I just realised I haven't encountered any Airbnb-style app/website that advertises academic conferences as a post-capitalist way of travelling around, paying ridiculous amount of money, and eating sub-par food.

It kinda is street photography.

Dear followers, fellow photographers,

This is just an FYI for those of you that might be experiencing something similar: I was recently contacted by a Tumblr account offering 3.500 USD per picture to purchase three photographs I've taken.

Now, it's not like I don't value my clicks, but this was kinda too high of an offer to be real. So it's either a scam, or I just let you in on the biggest money-making solution on the internet these days. But I doubt it's the latter.

I've sold footage and pictures before, but I was never offered such a price, nor do I know anyone that has (unless it's for a major publishing outlet, and for pictures whose quality is way better than mine).

I did my digging on the visualphotoroom[dot]com platform, and it's consistently receiving very low trust scores. Reaching back to the "buyer" telling them I'm only selling material directly through an invoice and agreement, they explained the above process as shown in the screenshot (which amongst other things, requires a "validation fee" paid to the website).

No legit website will ever ask you for money for a "validation fee". There are very decent repositories hosting pictures for sale, and that ain't one of them. If you are interested in selling photography products, then you should always choose the likes of Alamy, Shutterstock, Getty Images and other well-established platforms.

Cheers and take care.
