he's fucking atrocious

Here, take this

Thousands and thousands of animated shows, subbed anime and dubbed anime. All for free. I've never gotten a pop-up ad. Think of any animated show you want to watch and it'll probably be one there.

For example I watched .hack//sign over a decade ago and I want to rewatch it soon. They have the dub for every .hack// anime on there!

never in a million- scratch that, 2 million- years did i think that making a repository of fking Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would lead me to getting a mega subscription and finally, after fifteen years of inhaling data like a fiend, setting up a proper VPN

so thank you, HPCC community- because without the realization that a huge portion of you guys seemed so goddamn dejected about not being able to see it, i wouldn't have made it my mission to aquire 90 GB of various versions and in turn, wouldn't have inched myself closer to starting my adventure into being a ghost in terms of data traffic. I'll let you in on a secret tho- i havent even finished the play👀

why this leads me to honest laughter at points is bc i despisssedddd this play for so long, so long- and now here i am, with an entire collection sized to HALF of what my main collection is that I've been making since 2011 of other media.... the hold next gen HP has on me is real

Last Minute Christmas “shopping”

[whatbigotspost]

Damn, y'all. This is very, very bad news:

I have an unshakable belief that "democracy" is a joke in any place where a free media cannot exist. As I've eluded to many times, I'm a big believer in more progressive leaning sources like NPR, the Texas Tribune (the source link in that^ story), and formerly, the Texas Observer. Things are NOT in a good place right now, financially, for any of those entities.

This trend is something that anyone who cares about the threat of the rising Christofascist right wing extremists should be paying a LOT OF FUCKING ATTENTION TO. If you can, you should be donating to any entity you depend on, like this. It's why I'm a member of my local NPR station. I mean, I can't help but feel like we are about 2 seconds away from just accepting that algorithms like TikTok are going to drive all of the "information" we have, and I hopefully don't need to explain why we'll all be thoroughly fucked if that happens. Here's an Austin local writer/journalist I trust, with more behind-the-scenes input about what happened w/ the Texas Observer.

Getting into the original Sherlock Holmes through the librivox podcast on Spotify.

Love that Sherlock introduced his brother with the phrase: “The Diogenes club is the queerest club in London, and Mycroft one of the queerest men.”

Must be time for another Hellsing Ultimate rewatch and Ghost in the Shell.

We all knew this...

[liondapearl]

The news were loud about a car accident.

They were speaking about it for minutes.

A young man became dead.

That one life was realy that important?

There is a crash in every week.

That's not a surprising thing.

It was one death only.

There is a place where hundreds dieing daily.

Why don't you speak about them more?

Why isn't it the most important news?

If one life deserve minutes,

Then what you do with thousands?

You don't speak about them loudly.

The soldiers who are dictating.

Men, women, children.

They weren't puppets.

They tried to live.

They tried to be happy.

They wanted to achive their dreams.

Which is faded away slowly.

The one car accident.

And one more, and again.

People driving cars careless.

It happens countless.

A genocide must not be swept under the rug.

They deserve more!!!

People are dieing no matter how careful they are.

No matter that they have rights.

Whoever has the money,

Whoever controls them all.

Will decide which life is more important.

And who can die without a case

The team wrote the musical during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike. Reception has been overwhelmingly positive.

"It was because of the writers’ strike that Whedon had a number of his closest friends — who just so happen to be some of the most esteemed actors — at his disposal for his weird idea, but that wasn’t the only factor working in his favor. Between the period of 2007 and 2008, Whedon also decided he wanted to toy with the idea of using the internet as a way to distribute a film. This way he could bypass having to go through a studio for money and connect directly with those who wanted to support his vision, particularly during a time of need.

The only thing stopping him from doing that at the time was that fact that he didn’t know how do go about doing it. In an interview with Dave Itzkoff last year, Whedon told the New York Times critic that it noted Felicia Day’s work on The Guild, a webseries that premiered on YouTube in July 2007, as a reason for looking to the internet as a realm of possibility in the first place."

-Polygon Article from 2017

Funnily, they mention the show Heroes in this article, and it was a massive favorite of mine that was utterly ruined because the studio behind it kept pushing for it to be made, in spite of the writer's strike at the time... and the show was terrible after that. The lack of talent was obvious, even to a rather young me! And once I understood what the writers were striking for, I was 100% behind it. Sure, it sucks that I'll never have the version of Heroes that I could have... but that's not the writers' fault. I don't blame them a bit! Human rights are more important than knowing what might have been in a fictional world.

Anyways, here's a 45 minute movie Whedon made during a writer's strike - free from the corporate leash! Back before the Whedons just cranked out the same script over and over for Marvel.

Practice making fanzines

Not just because of the extreme rise in all forms of censorship, but also because it can be a very anti-capitalist way to communicate with those in your community! It was one of the original vessels of fanfiction! Kirk and Spock got down on zine pages in the 60s!

I’m planning a queer zine for my fanfic, maybe you could try making a minizine too!

Brattyxbre on instagram and tiktok is awesome at making zines and has some resources to help you!

Archive.org has access to some free movies and whatnot.

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
