really don’t like it when people act like early 2000s-2010s internet was good or safe for kids. sure it had club penguin and neopets and stuff and it is absolutely worse for kids now with data mining and algorithms pushing them directly into the most awful stuff imaginable. but that doesn’t mean it used to be good.. incredibly vitriolic bigotry was everywhere and it was so easy as a kid to stumble across shock sites or gore. it’s the time period that spawned somethingawful and other sites like that. and the whole phenomenon of taking photos/videos of ‘weird’ people without their permission can be directly traced to sites like peopleofwalmart that were popular then. i understand survivorship bias and nostalgia making the good parts stick out, but just because it’s worse now doesn’t mean that it was good back in the day either
Soulmate Ink au pt.4 is now on patreon! I'm having fun with this one but I also wonder a lot how does it feel, like I'm trying a bit less of comedy, the format is more square and page like...
Anyway! Consider checking it out if you feel like it

Every now and again, YouTube recommends me a booktube book review for a “controversial” book and every time I decide to watch it I realize these people’s minds would be blown by SVSSS and 2HA. Their heads would just explode. They’d die after the first 5 chapters. Their little brains wouldn’t be able to comprehend them, they’d just shut down and self destruct.

How come the Sheldon Cooper tag on social media has the weirdest, spammiest, porn bot-esque, has-actually-nothing-to-do-with-Sheldon-Cooper crap posts?? Also a lot of hate. I am so confused. Was there ever a Sheldon Cooper fandom, or was the Shamy fandom like just all there was??

I seek knowledge, I must know, what show is your white whale?
Fame L.A. It ran for 22 episodes back in 1997/98, was never released for home viewing and now is practically lost media bar a few clips online. I have spent many an hour searching the depths of the internet for it, nada. There are traces of where it once was hosted, but all those links are now completely defunct.
My only hope now is that someone recorded it on vhs back when it was broadcast and will eventually rip it and put it in the VHS vault on the internet archive or something (or, I work out how to get a hold of stuff from the Broadcast Archive in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm because they have the full run of it, but it's not publicly available, you have to have a research reason as to why you want to view it, and then you can only view it on their equipment in the library to boot!)
