The three-ring binder is the apex of book technology, by the way. All the advantages of a codex, plus you can add, remove, and reorder pages at will – pages which you can furthermore protect from damage in transparent sleeves, and store commentaries, notes, and other paratextual addenda behind them without obscuring the primary content. Truly the queen of codices. Reblog if you love the three-ring binder.
“lol tiktok users would rather learn mandarin than come to tumblr” yeah man that’s crazy. who would have thought that people from the video-based dopamine-machine app wouldn’t decide to join the text- and image- based no-algorithm website?
Favorite thing about the Red Note shenanigans: Mongolian ranchers suddenly gaining a rabid following of American horse girls and being like “we knew you had cowboys but we didn’t know you value and love horses as friends like we do, this is excellent”
Mongolian rancher 🤝 American horse girl synergy I guess
Anyway if you’re looking for a coping mechanism or distraction for the next few days (fuck the inauguration), I’m personally a fan of watching/listening to La Vie Boheme (RENT) on repeat until I feel better
It’s a good ass song for loud, proud, queer defiance
(heads up the song is nsfw tho)

Put your coping-on-repeat and/or hope-spot song in the notes, if you’d like, so we can all have some new music to listen to as a distraction, too
When I worked at a manufacturing company full of people who…i didn’t agree with their politics, and some of them were very loud about them, I made a playlist called “work music” full of a variety of queer, lefty, pro-union, anti-bigotry type music. Here’s a bunch of it:
Nina cried power, Mississippi goddamn, Christmas in the trenches, gulf war song, power and the glory, your racist friend, ring of keys, here’s to the state of Mississippi, gentlemen of distinction in the army, the chemical workers song, river of tears (Sally Rogers & Claudia Schmidt), why am I painting the living room, I am what I am, this is me, I ain’t marching anymore, praying (kesha), where have all the flowers gone, if I had a hammer, we shall overcome, solidarity forever, bad blood (tswift), not ready to make nice, perfect night (Holly near and Ronnie Gilbert), no more genocide, union medley
so when trump takes office on monday and “saves tiktok” with a 90 day extension on the tiktok ban decision, then during that period mark zuckerberg “suddenly” decided to buy tiktok and have meta absorb it, then what.
trump created this problem when he introduced the tiktok ban in his first term and he’s going to take credit for “solving” it now. the tiktok ceo made a video thanking trump for “understanding the app” then the error message says we are grateful to trump for working with us on this ?? AND he’s invited to sit front row at the inauguration??? oh also new facebook/tiktok integrations popping up today ???
trump’s dick is in the tiktok ceo’s mouth the deal is already done
