How to Access Exclusive Research Archives Online

In the digital age, exclusive research archives have become invaluable resources for academics, professionals, and curious minds alike.

In the digital age, exclusive research archives have become invaluable resources for academics, professionals, and curious minds alike. These archives house a wealth of information, often containing rare and comprehensive collections that are not readily available to the general public. Accessing these archives can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it is entirely feasible. Here’s a…

protocol's archivist is actually super fucking fascinating though bc yes in tma jarchivist had people reliving their experiences but it was always through dreams? like mag 120 in our little glimpse into jon's dreamscape he's reliving the fears that people have given to him, again in 142 with that poor woman he compelled a statement out of, but it happened through DREAMS.

THIS archivist? bitch, you're gonna relive it NOW, PHYSICALLY, and you are PROBABLY going to DIE ABOUT IT. move over elias bouchard, brutal pipe murder is out, brutal EYE murder is the hit new trend.

but this begs the question that georgie even asked him--WHY DIDN'T IT KILL SAM? he got fully statement-ed, passed out in the rain; but sam just woke up? yeah he was a bit worse for wear but sam lived. so what the fuck is up kyle

“The artist becomes the canvas!” - TMAGP 002: Making Adjustments

[vehemourn]

smth i honestly recommend everyone should do is like. keep a private folder of art u like on ur computer lol. and like. download art u like when u see it. ur gonna lose stuff Forever if u just like it, u know? and like, discord archives arent really enough lol. I have been downloading art since like 2016 & I have a LOT of art that was scrubbed from the internet otherwise, especially due to like. the antics of deviantart & twitter. And on things like twitter theres Barely a way to save art to begin with (bookmarks is Not good enough)

u do kinda lose Credit a lot of the time (unless u save it with it named? which i do sometimes but not always) and often like, it won't be the Perfect HQ or itll have a massive watermark on it. but like. since it's not really for Sharing as much as its for my own personal enjoyment, these things don't really bother me at all... Having a collection of art that i love that I can look at offline & like, On My Computer is so nice. And I back up a lot of it on hard drives when i back up my own art! Again, like, a lot of these pieces this is the Only way i can look at them anymore, and Maybe the only archive OF them.... I've had pieces from my friends Before they were my friends, that i just saved as a "fan", that THEY lost years later... I have pieces they hadn't Seen in years. And every year I Probably save at least a few more pieces that will become like, totally scrubbed from technology otherwise. idk. i think it's nice to have an archive of this art that is in my taste but also like, that i'd likely Lose otherwise.

i Hope people save my art. I don't honestly Think anyone does, but I Hope that like, if my shit ever blows up and all my accounts get scrubbed, Someone has at least one drawing I made saved to their computer 2 remember me. u know. Its like a scrapbook. I remember these ppls characters, i remember the communities at the time, i remember how i felt when i first saw the piece. Its really inspiring but also genuinely like, really Important to me and sentimental. I kinda think everyone should have their own collection but I think people are genuinely Scared to right click & save ppls art LOL. Genuinely where is the harm, though.

"Publishers accused the nonprofit of infringing copyrights in 127 books from authors like Malcolm Gladwell, C.S. Lewis, Toni Morrison, J.D. Salinger and Elie Wiesel, by making the books freely available through its Free Digital Library.

The archive, which hosts more than 3.2 million copies of copyrighted books on its website, contended that the library was transformative because it made lending more convenient and served the public interest by promoting "access to knowledge.""

There's a post going around bsky about how to "somewhat AI proof your work" that tells authors to create a custom work skin that disables the ability for text in their fic to be selected, meaning it can't be copy-pasted, which means it can't be scraped.

This is only true in the weakest sense, and I'm putting this out before I see it hit over here because it will not work, and in fact it will kill accessibility to your fic.

See, in your preferences dashboard, you can literally disable custom work skins with a single tickybox:

So all anyone has to do is select that option and they can continue to copy your fics into shatGPT to their heart's content.

You know what doing this does do, though? It makes it impossible for screenreaders to scan your fic for vision-impaired readers. I hope that most of them already have this option selected, but for those that don't, they may not even be aware it exists, and you've cut them off in exchange for "AI protection" on-par with a wet paper towel.

I hate genAI as much as anyone, but don't fucking do this.

i asked a news outlet about a specific hour of footage from 1997. normally they don't respond or they say that there's nothing left from that time period. well, turns out they do have it. they got back to me yesterday and said it can be mine for the small fee of:

“$4,100 for up to 30 seconds and $5,100 for 31-60 seconds. Each additional second is $85.”

😂 yeah fucking right. i'm not even going to do the math on that. let's all hope it pops up one day for free on youtube.

Chapter 96: Motivation

Ah yes, the curry scene. Would you count this as a love confession? In the Japanese version, she says "ダイスキ" (daisuki), which basically means "I really like you", so what do you think?

It's funny that Okarun had to transform just to eat, but also sad to think how in-pain he must be. The out-of-body experience kinda mentally prepared him for everything going on and I'm glad he's not confused and is getting ready to help his friends.

Also, I super loved Acro Aira's pose on this page, what a queen.

so like. if anyone else, like me, still has the occasional fanfic they follow on fanfiction.net, and hasn't been getting the update emails for the longest time and was wondering if ti meant the site is on its last legs

no

no they've done something stupid as fuck

you have to opt back in to getting the emails/notifications of new chapters every six months, because they automatically assume you don't want to know when the fics you followed for the updates have updated

just read a tma transcript for the first time in my life and ajdjdd why do i understand the whole thing better now?!

darn, turns out offering accommodations and making your media more accessible for disabled folks ACTUALLY helps disabled folks.

I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.

For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.

I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.

And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”

Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.

“The World”

(my contribution to the @ themagnusarcana zine over on ig)

Image 1 [ID: A digital illustration of the end of the Magnus Archives podcast. Jon and Martin are situated in the pupil of a great eye taking up residence in a red sky. The panopticon/institute is burning and crumbling in the background, as Martin stabs Jon in the heart. Jon’s blood flows down and pools at the base of the House at Hill Top Road, which sits atop a large web made from the tape of large cassette tapes lining the sides of the image, acting as anchors for the web. Annabelle Cane sits at the bottom half of the image, pulling strands from the blood-soaked web and connecting them to a group of planets she sits amongst. /end ID]

"I want to hurry home to you, put on a slow dumb show for you, and crack you up" is actually the McDrai thesis to me. As is "You know I dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you."
