got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?
webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.
it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

sometimes i wonder if the recent warriors books are bad just because i’m older and more experienced now compared to childhood but after rereading into the wild and all earlier super editions recently nah, the writing has quite literally gotten exponentially worse to the point of a near total deterioration in quality ⚰️

Y’all I miss physical media so much.
Yeah sure preservation of art and all but also like.
I miss sharing media.
I miss giving my friends video games to borrow that I loved, because a physical disk would immediately play on every system. I miss bringing movies over to friends house for a movie night, because they didn’t have them, or I didn’t have them. I miss renting DVDs. It made sharing a movie an EVENT not just something to have on in the background.
I miss making my friends little mixtapes and burning them CDs of music I think they like. Of songs that make me think of them. I miss being gifted CDs from people who wanted me to share something that meant a lot to them. I have so many songs that make me think of friends and lovers long past, simply because they were the ones who gave me the CD.
I miss when you had to choose an album. When you only had the collection that you had. And your friends all had different collections, different media, different games.
The *SHARING* aspect of physical media, not for the media itself, but for the emotions and connections and community that came with it. The fact that I could hold my dad’s favorite album the day he died. That I could ever so softly put a disk into my car, that was touched by a lover before our young lives drifted apart. (I still have that CD today)
I think we all lost a little bit of our humanity when we stopped being able to give our friends movies and games and CDs, in a physical and tangible way.

i know we’ve all said it before but truly, if i buy something . its mine. that specific version i have bought and purchased is now in my possession and should not change. even in a digital space. HOW IS IT ALLOWED THAT A COMPANY/MONOPOLY CAN JUST REACH IN TO MY PERSONAL DIGITAL PLATFORM TO GRAB AND REMOLD SONETHING IF NOT FULLY TAKE IT AWAY. HOW. which is why im a collecting hoarder bc no ones coming into my real world space without a slap in the face butstill. my digital home should not be invaded because someone else has enough money to just play god online
