This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! !andromusiccollection@lemm.ee

“This would adversely impact the creation of new works, scholarly endeavours and the availability of educational content in many disciplines”, read the suit.

Because charging hundreds of dollars for 10 year-old text books with a few questions changed makes content more available than them being free online. They can all fuck right off.

Besides, all that will happen from this is the domains will change for the fourth time, and college students will continue to save fuck tons of money. Publishers did this to themselves and I have 0 sympathy.

Nothing but respect for Alexandra Elbakyan.
