Have yet to get my brain to parse 'doge' correctly. Everyone talking about Elon Musk or bitcoin or the original doggo and every damn time my brain goes Ah. Venice.

#this is a me problem but i have yet to decide whether i find it funny or irritating #rather random #web culture

My favorite admin freakout on a forum was the forums for The Agony Booth, which is a now-defunct site that mocked movies and TV episodes in that 2000s "text with screenshots" way

The admin's specific grievance was that his pop culture parody website that mainly reviewed b-movies and Star Trek episodes and that was named after a relatively obscure Star Trek reference had attracted a userbase of nerds. At first he took steps like sectioning off anime and video games into their own forum with notes about the deep contempt he held for both. Then he banned users for "posting too much", but not with a daily post limit or anything. He banned anyone whose posts-per-day got too high. You know. The stat that will inevitably always go up for regular long-term users & that is just their posts divided by how old their account is.

Finally he just started making announcement posts lambasting his users for not discussing "real" movies. He lamented that there were several threads on [some recent nerd property, I don't remember], but zero on...Righteous Kill. How could the forum not be discussing the long-awaited pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino??? He hammered the point home. We shouldn't be talking about nerd shit on his Star Trek parody website, we should be discussing Righteous Kill, that modern classic!

Ah well. RIP the Agony Booth, I think after that you pivoted to video and now you're a spam placeholder site about celebrity gossip. I'm so sorry you had so many nerds on your MST3K-inspired site that advertised itself off making fun of Star Trek

Some art for a trading card series I designed, revolving around the theme of forming more substantial connections both online and offline. The idea was that the backs of the cards had a QR code that would lead to a chatroom where people could organize meetups in their local area. I incorporated different themes and styles for each card to give it that collectible appeal.

I'm delighted to find this article - "The Neil deGrasse Tyson Problem: Methods for Exploring Base Memes in Web Archives" - that meets at the intersection of my job in web archiving and my pastime of looking at memes online.

Also, delightful to learn that the Library of Congress has a Web Cultures Web Archive.

Tumblr in 2023, Finally talking about my experience on Tumblr again.

I've been a Tumblr user since the end of 2008, this isn't my first Tumblr not even my second, my longest lasting Tumblr I made sometime in 2009 after deleting my first one because I was spending too much time on this site and decided to take a break for a few months in 2009 before I made a second one because I loved using it so much that I had to come back. My second Tumblr was my longest lasting from around summer 2009 to 2014 when I decided to delete.

Around that time in 2014/2015 Tumblr was changing, it had become a hostile and toxic environment of everyone going at each other and it felt like you couldn't do anything on this site without walking on eggshells. The fun, the sense of community here, the love, the support, the creativity of the users, Tumblr to me defined youth culture in the 2010s and I have yet to find anyplace else on the internet like it in a decade. When I say that there has not been anything that had as much influence on me in those 7 years between 2008-2015, I mean it.

Coming to Tumblr and sticking on Tumblr in that era opened my mind to so many new ideas, I got to speak to so many people here, some who our connection went beyond Tumblr. Tumblr back then made me so much more of an empathetic person through relatability, by being able to speak to those who let me know that that I wasn't alone on my experience and my thoughts, and others willing to share their experiences and their thoughts. I truly believe that I wouldn't be the person that I am today without Tumblr. That being said, coming back here after years and trying to find a place again is weird, it's kind of a somber feeling. A lot of my old favorite blogs are gone or long inactive and it's the same for a lot of friend's blogs. It's like going back to your old neighborhood years after moving and coming back to it to see it has changed and things have moved around.

I just like being here now because even the simple act of scrolling down the home page, seeing post, and still seeing people are here posting cool shit is enough for me. Even though it's not likely it'll ever be the same experience that it once was I'm happy that it's still here. I'm happy that it still functions mostly like it did then and besides some aesthetic changes here and there that the user experience has remained consistent even after Tumblr has gone through a few owners in the past 10 years. I love this place and though I may not be on active here like I used too and it seems that thing have slowed down from those days, I still make it a point to come back and check it out every once in awhile. I'm going down with the shit, but here's to hoping the ship never sinks.

I think at this point, with how twitter and TikTok have affected people’s brains, you don’t even need to learn what red flags there are. People show their whole asses on the internet everyday.
