hey there, just a friendly reminder that we prefer not to get unsolicited media & hardware donations! if you have stuff you think we might like, please reach out to mediaarchaeology at colorado dot edu or DM us on one of our social media profiles.
Did You Know... we have a lot of stuff? sometimes, we get things that are broken or unusable. sometimes things break and are not fixable or not worth fixing. those things go into the e-waste pile of doom, from whence they are eventually taken to the Colorado Hard to Recycle Materials Facility. 1/3
sorry it took us so long to get the announcement out... logistics are fun!
IT'S ALL FREE, for whatever use you might have for it...
save the date! bring your own bag or box! take whatever you want! 3/3
howEVER, this time around we decided to add another step in that process. we'll be doing a "Take Our Stuff, Please!" free rummage on the porch on January 31 from 2-4 PM. everything from letterpress type to broken circuit boards to partially scavenged computer towers to textbooks from the 80s 2/3

we are getting in the holiday spirit as we clean up post windstorm here, thanks to @dr-a.bsky.social (who did not end up getting to visit because of said windstorm but still had gifts for us)
Dull and dreary day, a black and white image of an abandoned automotive service station with large, grid-pane garage windows on the left with a small sign above a narrow door that reads “RETREADS.” The structure is weathered and peeling, with broken glass panels and rusting metal frames. Tall grass and weeds are growing through the cracked pavement in front. To the right, a covered entryway with a sagging roof sits behind a black metal fence. In the background, faint outlines of distant mountains appear through a hazy sky
Under a dull and dreary sky, a black and white photograph of abandoned Radio Shack store. Broken windows and weeds growing through cracks in the pavement.
Under a dull and dreary sky, a black and white photograph of abandoned roadside cafe adjoining an automobile service station both with boarded and broken windows. Cafe has a sign with Paradise Cafe written on it and graffiti on the walls.
Route 66 gathers the unloved. It's lined with thousands of forgotten stops and reminders of days gone by. Tucumcari New Mexico
