how NOT to pirate music (simple)
With Spotify having tons of issues with taking music off its platform and not paying artists, and with both Spotify and Apple Music costing ridiculous amounts of money, AND with YouTube fighting with adblockers and literally costing you more money depending on what device you're buying Premium on -- you might be considering pirating music.
This is a very simple guide on how NOT to do that.
Pick a song. If possible, find a audio only or lyric video so it's ONLY the song and doesn't include silence or things like MV scenes
Find it on YouTube and use this YouTube to MP3 site: https://y232.live/ (or any YT to MP3 converter that works, but this one has no ads!)
If the song isn't on YouTube, google "[website] video to mp3 converter". Use caution when using these sites because they often have a lot of pop-up ads!!
Download it. You can name the file whatever you want, but things will be much easier for you if you name it something similar to the song title
Download a music sorting software. I use iTunes but there's also MusicBee which is free and does a lot of the same things. If you have other recommendations please share!
Upload the file(s) to the software.
Edit it to have the proper song name and artist name. Or name it whatever you want. This is the only real important part when it comes to organization. iTunes and MusicBee also give the options to list things like the album name, album artist, year, genre, etc. MusicBee lets you add tags as well and even list the language of the song.
Click play and enjoy!
(Re: downloading music to your phone, iTunes makes it very easy to sync your music library with your Apple Devices, but I'm still playing around with MusicBee so I'm not sure what capabilities it has yet. I've heard of another app called MediaMonkey which I believe is supposed to sync to Apple and Android devices but I can't say for sure)
This may seem like a lot of work (hypothetically of course), but having ownership of your own music files is definitely worth it!

project 2025 includes plans for media censorship so i'm currently off on the biggest downloading spree of my life
calm reminder for those who haven't yet: download your favorite fics, songs, movies, shows, games if your device has the storage—everything. get physical copies when available, and keep file backups on an external drive if you can.
(P.S. i don't have super extensive resources to give you, but A) Tor browser and youtube to mp3/mp4 websites are your friends, B) tumblr and reddit tend to have good guides and link masterlists, and C) get a backup drive with greater or roughly equal storage capacity relative to your computer if possible)
(P.P.S. also, go look st the notes on this post!! there's a bunch of cool info people have shared, and i don't think i could get any of it out very far by just reblogging ^^;)

Tumblr media
People are terrible at boycotting entertainment. You know you can be like other Disney characters-Jack Sparrow and Captain Hook? You know, PIRATES? Anyway boycott Disney and Disney owned properties/companies that support Israel.
proof of Disney's Zionism:

getting around academic paywalls for papers, and sometimes books
if you have already found a paper or book you want to read, here's some ways to get behind the paywall. researchers do not get any money from publishers of academic papers so many of them will be very happy to give you a copy of their work if you email the academic in question.
the first method maybe blocked in some countries so you may need a vpn. i rec protonvpn, which has a free plan that does not keep any logs.
1. Using SciHub (reliable, but hasn't got many new papers)
a. On a desktop/laptop device
Install the SciHub X Now extension. Clicking the icon of the extension on most academic paper pages leads to it automatically reloading that page with a pdf version of the paper if it is available.
On Firefox:
On Chrome (please switch to firefox if you can! Chrome is set to block adblockers and extensions like this soon.)
b. If you're on a mobile device
Find the DOI or digital object identifier (a persistent identifier or handle used to uniquely identify various objects, standardized by the ISO.) It looks like a bunch of numbers with dots and slashes separating them a bit like this: 10.1109/5.771073.
Go to https://sci-hub.se/ and paste the DOI in its search bar.
2. Using Nexus (new papers and books! better search but is a little slow and buggy)
Nexus is a newer project that borrows logins from users with institutional access, it also aggregates other shadow libraries like libgen so you can find books as well.
a. Telegram Bot: If you already use telegram, the nexus search bot is very intuitive. Copying the name of the paper will do a decent search.
https://t.me/science_nexus_bot
b. Using the website: Has pretty good search, paste the name, authors, DOI whatever you want.
there are extensions that work similarly to schihub-x-now but they don't have a lot of users and are a bit experimental so I will not be recommending them here.

I think I should mention that I have this like…google doc full of websites and resources and honestly just a lot of stuff
I try to keep it updated, and it’s fairly organized so far (the only section that isn’t is unsorted and it’s at the bottom)
so here, please take a look:

omg thanks for responding!! i totally understand and i appreciate you taking the time to get back to me.
i guess i would start with (i have a macbook)
Q1) is a hard drive a great place to start? I am currently into this WWE guy from the 80s and i am trying to store all his media onto the hard drive. i’m just afraid that it won’t work without wifi and i won’t have access to my archives.
Q2?) i saw that things like google drive were encouraged as a place to save media but my logic is that since it’s not (technically even if you purchase) urs couldn’t it get shut down? so all ur archives would basically get wiped and you have not say.
Q3) is there any forums you would recommend i read? or maybe somewhere you got started from? i want to become as knowledgeable as possible lol
That’s what I have for now, i’m sure i’ll be back once i remember any more. I personally want to preserve as much as i can. i know people say the internet is forever but as we have seen it really isn’t. there’s so much lost media out there and it keeps me up at night. Thank you once again!! 🌸
I wrote so much that I ended up just turning it into a Google Doc lol
If you or anyone else has any other questions, please let me know and I can add my responses to the doc!

heyo mate !! js wondering - the book ur reading rn (the body keeps the score) did yall buy it or was it a part of the kindle unlimited thingy?? /gq /nfta tysm if u do answer :3
It's not on Kindle Unlimited, as much as I wish it was! We do own a paper copy (as of ten minutes ago), but the version were reading on Kindle was found as a PDF free online, just dropped it onto our kindle. (Do that safety though, please. Make sure you have an antivirus and scan all your downloads, a lot of torrent sites are a one way street to getting a virus).
Audible has it and it can be purchased with audible credits.
My broke ass can't afford psych textbooks lolll - 🏴‍☠��🦜
happy to flick the PDF version through to anyone via discord/email or a sending a link on Tumblr :) same goes for the PDF version and link to The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization (2006) written by the author who coined the Structural Disassociation theory and surrounding termology.
[this applies to anyone, just flick me a message]

whenever i use my disabled placard i'm like, "i'm awful, i'm taking advantage of this resource i don't need, i'm only using this placard because i want to park closer to the store" and then i ask myself why i want to park closer to the store, and remember that it's because i have debilitating pain from walking very short distances, and that i used to constantly avoid going anywhere because just walking through parking lots is difficult
maybe one day it'll sink in :')

what do you think are the most important things to utilize if someone wanted to learn to amplify their tech-literacy/tech-using experience?
We all know about add-block and anti-tracker add-ons, I'm thinking things like using github for various things, downloading youtube vids using yt-dlp. etc. etc. Bonus points if you can drop guides/how-tos
Other examples are things you can do with word, like adding macros, etc.
Also, what are your favourite non-game programs and apps? This could be anything.
i'm hoping to get a list where lots of folks can add on so if you could reblog that would be awesome

Reminder that Seattle, Boston, San Diego, and Brooklyn all have "Books Unbanned" programs encouraging out-of-state people ages 12-26 to apply for an e-book library card!
As far as I'm aware you can have cards from each of these libraries simultaneously. Seattle, SD, & Boston are all really simple forms to fill out. (You have to email Brooklyn.) You don't need an address, they don't ask for I.D, and you don't have to submit any personal information.

Like I'm very pissed that so many people fell for the spotify thing and "zionists control your music" as if they don't sound like Alex Jones but I'm nowhere near in the correct headspace to explain "saying that jews control the media is a conspiracy theory as old as print itself and is antisemitic" but also like. I shouldn't have to? Is it really not obvious???
