stopppp i saw jacob geller's newest video show up the hour it came out but i put off watching it because i was like god i save everything i get so sad thinking about the media i love that i'll lose so many things i've used for research or hobbies are sources or websites saved only on the internet archive whole communities of artisans active in the 2000s and 2010s almost lost to time (i just keep thinking about decades old chainmail websites with some links active but countless other links to other sources leading to a 404 error message or a redirect. pages proudly declare other places to visit to learn more but the list consists only of graves!!!) only kept and allowed for me to see and learn from by the internet archive i won't be able to bear this. and just now i was like oh i'll watch it it won't be that big of a deal and i'm 30 minutes in and the whole time i've been like i'm imgoumg to throw up and im going to die
#how do i be normal how do i become distanced from attachment to media and material possessions this is such a problem im just like my dad#hes kept every playbill from every show he's seen since he was 15 he keeps them on a shelf in his room i want that collection when he dies#but what would i do with it how would i preserve it it wouldn't have sentimental attachment to me other than the attachment to him and the#knowledge im keeping something that is old what the fuck. what the fuck#my mom has my grandfathers high school yearbook from like the 1920s she showed it to me the other day. while i was flipping through it she#remarked that all the little black and white photos of teenage boys were all dead now. whatthe fuck#alex talks
