going nuts in new-suburbia is 21st century "prairie madness"; every time i take a wrong turn in saskatoon and end up lost in some new barely-finished development it feels like i'm trapped in someone's hell. coming from vancouver, i'm not used to there being this much land to expand into, and yet it's also amazing just how speedily you can exit the city and be absolutely nowhere

Excellent entry, dude. I already had my own views about digital preservation and no, not everything needs to be archived and it's fine like this. 99% of everything digital is crap. Impermanence here is fine.

I’ve also been thinking about this a lot lately. I’ve been wiping my hard drive quite a bit recently, and while I back up some of it, I’ve been to lazy to save anything other than my artworks folder. it always gives me some anxiety- surely I’lll miss something from the thousands of deleted things.. But it’s always fine in the end

This review was unironically useful for me. I was tempted to buy that just to satisfy my curiousity on how terrible it is. Now I know and I saved $30.

Yeah; I definitely think the ratio of followers has something to do with it, because even though I only have ~220 followers, I was on Neocities' second page of most followed sites. I had to flag my site as NSFW to get off of the page.

I was also waiting for you to mention federi (lol). I was thinking of writing about their follow-for-follow adventures (for lack of a better word), but have left it alone for now.

unless you want to become a part of the adventures yourself, it's best to wait until the dust has settled...

Hey another Japanese learner, nice! I enjoyed your writings on learning Japanese and could completely relate to the "one neat trick" part lmao

the only caveat is that it won't work for people who have no drive or desire to be productive...

There will always be people like that unfortunately. There's so much media content and resources (like you mentioned) for Japanese that anyone has the opportunity to practice. Just like with working out, "showing up" is the hardest part!

i know it's supposed to be satire, but all of this is way too relatable for me, especially "i'm getting into art and it's NOT going well!!" this sentence defines my entire life since high school
