TIM DRAKE READING ORDER

For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Tim Drake’s appearances from his debut up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).

If you enjoy my reading guides or find them helpful and would like to support me, you can do so on my Ko-Fi.

I work in an archaeology lab that has had many people come and go throughout the years.

Let’s just say some of the things this random person put on this pottery analysis spreadsheet made me scream bloody murder…

What is unhappy ware?? 😭😭

Just saw your reblog of the Gladys Ditmars post. Thanks for adding so much great information! I work in the Library & Archives of the Bronx Zoo and we’re at the tail end of a huge film cataloging/digitization project. We have thousands of reels that have rarely been touched before now. A number of Raymond Ditmars films have survived and will be available to watch online when our project is finished. I thought you might like to know!

That's absolutely amazing!!! I am thrilled more libraries/archives are undertaking these huge digitization projects (and having done archival work in the past I know what a massive undertaking they are.) As a researcher, you guys are my heroes.

Thank you SO much for sharing this! I can't wait to see what treasures you uncover!

françoise (red river cart), 2023

My second red river cart built for the city of Calgary's parks educational programming about local Métis Otipemisiwak history. The cart is propped up for stability while it is not in use and because there was a last minute problem with a spoke that I will be repairing so that the cart will be able to function for years to come! It accomanies a Métis Otipemisiwak trappers tent and several large vinyl panels of archival material for education. I also delivered the following speech after Elder D. D. spoke some beautiful words and M. H. introduced me and fellow artist D. P. who created beaded and illustrated borders in the style of historic Michif beadwork for the selected archival images.

Taanishii kiiyawow? riel s. dishinikashoon. Hello, how are you all? my name is riel s. and i descend maternally from seven Métis Otipemisiwak families from the historic Red River Settlement and Batoche. Notably my Berthelet ancestors were community leaders in Pointe à Grouette, now Ste. Agathe, MB. Throughout this project I thought often of my 5th great uncle Jean Caron Sr. who fought in the North-West Resistance of 1885 in which his house was burnt down. It was later rebuilt in 1891 and it still stands in Batoche to this day. I introduce myself in this way, the traditional way of the Métis Otipemisiwak to contextualize my knowledge and experiences, situate myself on this land, and honour my family.

The red river cart is a symbol of Michif (Métis Otipemisiwak) ingenuity and survivance. From the land it rises and to the earth it will decompose again, not leaving a trace, not a nail or a screw. I built my first cart in 2022 during my undergrad as I considered histories of road allowance, trade, and Michif material culture's place in contemporary art. It is the vessel that carried us across our vast homelands and beyond, and cradled our young nation, serving us in our fight for sovereignty, dignity, and respect.

I would like to thank my friend C. for their assistance in parts of the building process, as well as their trust, friendship, and curiosity. I would also like to thank M. H. and D. P. for this opportunity and your guidance as mentors and your friendship. Maarsii.

I never have much luck with promoting on here, but it’s worth a shot.

Míyaxwe, my name is Gabz Norte and I’m a Cahuilla and Cupeño filmmaker and av archivist. I’m making a film combining my family’s Super 8 home movies from the 1970s with footage I will also be shooting on Super 8 film. This is a hybrid project for me, creating a film and also preserving and caring for my family’s films while creating an archive. Many of these films are records of reservation life and Indigenous familial experience and I strongly believe they need to be seen.

As you may imagine, this is a costly endeavor and I’m trying to raise money to make this goal happen. I talk a little more about the details in the video in the link.

Shares are greatly appreciated. Á•čama!

Oh, the desperate yearning to show someone, ANYONE, the wonderful things you come across while working in an archives! Woe is me!

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #sometimes i can't even believe how much i myself have written. like i think i am not a writer. i am not doing enough. i do not write enough #and i look back and i have 34 (34!!) works on ao3 and reams of unpublished work on my computer and so long left to live. so i think #we will be okay. #writing

KON-EL READING ORDER

You have no idea the despair I felt after opening this box. It allll needs to be sorted, filed, cataloged, and boxed. Who says the archives aren't glamorous?

day 1 without ao3: i have gone through all 5 stages of grief multiple times and have invented a 6th. i will not disclose what the 6th stage of grief is.

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding

#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS #game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool. #there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation. #this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products #if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON #it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going #forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again. #i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr #personal
