listening to music you loved when you were younger feels like a connection with your past self. like did she know I’d be listening to this exact same song so many years in the future? she couldn’t have imagined the person I am now. it feels like a hand reaching through time. like looking at the moon and realising that throughout history other people have looked at the same moon and felt the same way. a moment when the boundaries of time blur and it’s just me, enjoying music, connected with all the past versions of myself who are listening to this same song

how to keep following people when a major social platform implodes
(…and you don’t want to join 20 new websites)
First, get an RSS reader*:
- Desktop: Feedbro (browser extension), QuiteRSS, Raven Reader
- Android: Feeder
- iOS/Mac: NetNewsWire
You’ll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its “feed URL”– often marked by an icon that looks like this ↓– and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.
Some feed URLs for social media:
- Twitter: Feedbro can use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) (You can get a CSV file of all the accounts you follow using “Download a user’s friends list” on Tweetbeaver)
- Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blog’s “my art” tag (as an example)
- Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public (WIP feature)
- Mastodon: Use instance.url/@username.rss
- Deviantart: Info here
- Spacehey: Info here
- Youtube: Go to a channel in a web browser, view page source, and use Ctrl-F/Command-F to find a link that starts with “https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=”
- Instagram: Feedbro can use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, Instagram doesn’t have RSS feeds, and due to aggressive rate limiting on their part, it’s not so simple to generate a feed URL.
- Facebook: Feedbro can use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs.
(If you know an artist who exclusively posts to Instagram, you may want to gently suggest that they crosspost elsewhere…)
Also see how to find the RSS feed URL for almost any site. Try using public RSS-Bridge instances or Happyou Final Scraper to generate feeds for sites that don’t have them (Pillowfort, Patreon, etc).
*You can set up your subscriptions in one reader and import them into another by exporting an OPML file.
This!
RSS feeds were a great way to keep track of things before the rise of the platforms, and (if we’re smart) they’ll be great again.

Wait this isn’t right. Trouble told me Aunt May grew up in the 1960s/70s/90s and was a nympho who banged both Ben and his brother
“I would lie to do a six issue miniseries about Aunt May as a horny teenager having a ton of sex”
“…….
I would ask why but I’m terrified by what the answer to that question would be”
we don’t talk about Trouble
we don’t talk about Trouble
WE. DON’T. TALK. ABOUT. TROUBLE.
Sweet. Burn that stupid “Zeus is her dad” stuff to the ground. And never mention her “secret twin brother who is actually her superior in every way who then disappears into space because the editors realised that he kind of messes with Diana’s whole deal” ever again.
YASSSSSSSSS
SO GLAD that “Daughter of Zeus” nonsense has been retconned away
All the damage the New 52 did to Diana and the Amazons has finally been completely removed from the character <3
DIANA DOESN’T NEED A FATHER
SHE HAS A THOUSAND MOTHERS

“Felicia no don’t whip Moon Knight he’s a good guy”
“HARDER MOMMY”
“……
………
What did I just walk in on this isn’t a fight is it”
“Go home Spider everything is fine”
awhile ago a coworker and i were play arguing whether or not the mystery gang were all romantically a thing/polycule or just really good friends (yknow bored at work things) and knowing my bfs interest in scooby doo i texted him asking him to be the tie breaker and he responded “well it depends which canon youre going off of” and just instantly cold sweat knew i was out of my depth
