It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

This is not the way.
Here's the playlist that goes with my article. It goes with the "trip down memory lane" theme currently underway on the GhintangGhintang YouTube channel, but all the way back to the 60s. Jump into the middle for that 90s nostalgia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzQ...

For National Library Week, we can't recommend enough @shannonmattern.bsky.social's 2014 essay "Library as Infrastructure."
A decade on, it remains a potent argument for libraries as social, technological & intellectual infrastructure — part of a critical network of institutions buoying public life.
"It has come for science because it was never just about the Humanities, but about how we assess American progress through infrastructures of new knowledge and its application." scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2025/04/02/t...
TODAY!
Singer-songwriter Cassie Blanton, who signed the Fight for the Future letter, tells Rolling Stone, "Musicians are struggling, but libraries like the Internet Archive are not our problem! Corporations like Spotify, Apple, Live Nation and Ticketmaster are our problem. If labels really wanted to help musicians, they would be working to raise streaming rates. This lawsuit is just another profit-grab."

Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well, people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those things, no matter how kind or flattering or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finances as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.

For some reason I thought Mongol nomadism was already in the list of UNESCO Intangible Heritage list.
Apparently getting added only now.
Not a nomad, but forever grateful for the summers I had at grandma's. Won't ever forget how her GER got flooded & we moved to higher grounds on yak carts.
Took a long time to write this one. Thank you, @vanmusicmag.bsky.social
