Archivist during the Day and a Writer at Night. I also dabble in computers, both retro and modern, as well as video games. I often like to hold up neat looking potatoes and talk about them at length to anyone who will listen, because they're neat! 🍉
I turn the big four oh this year and I dunno what to do to celebrate... would be cool to do an old school LAN party... or at least play a ton of online multiplayer games with people... but neither will probably happen.

I'm just so tired... after being on the internet for 25+ years now, I've belonged to so many communities, using so many services and platforms, witnessed their rise and fall, giving way to enshittification.
I don't know if I can care again.

I don't know if there's a name for such a phenomena, but it always fascinates me when an artist's least personal favorite piece of art they made ends up being someone's favorite of them all.

The "problem" with being a digital archivist is that it's hard for me to turn off that part of my brain once I get home from work. I spend far too much time organizing, cataloging, entering metadata, etc. for my movies, music, games, etc. at home to the point where I rarely ever actually enjoy them.

So I wanted to make a image saying "FUCK ICE", but I feel I needed to put some effort into it. So I made a Captain America comic cover. #fuckice

As someone who has struggled with depression all my life, it is absolutely wild to me when I talk with someone who just doesn't... like, depression just isn't a thing for them... and I'm all like, damn.

Sometimes I read THE DISCOURSE in fandoms about what is and what isn't CANON and often come away from it all just thinking... wow, this is stupid.

There's an odd sort of primal comfort to laying in bed, in the dark, just watching the flickering flame of a scented candle on a table across the room.
