like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.

Archival of... colouring books?

Okay. So.

I've been thinking about lost media, and how... colouring books and activity books just don't get archived? So. I'm taking it upon myself to start!

Here's my archive.org page and the few i've started with!

I know this doesn't seem like the most important thing in the world, but I do think it's something that someone's gotta do!

If anyone has any old colouring books (even with yellow pages or coloured in) please please let me know! I'd appreciate scans that I can clean up and archive!!

Please please reblog this I'd love for people to find this and send me their books!

Just so you know, when I say I’m a dyke I don’t just mean I’m a lesbian. Dyke is a gender. Dyke is a political view. Dyke is an attitude.

I think I have a controversial thing to say: I love and recommend (have recommended) Stone Butch Blues as much as the next person, but there's other books from and about butches that get slept on because people only know Stone Butch Blues
