#pirates talk

[cheetahdash]

now after hours of grieving I have to say if the nightingales do have a betrayer among them assuming its to ALL pirates... im eyeing both apo and acho and for completely separate reasons.

Apo because of the lack of offers given by who they wanted as a faction.. now im not sure if this was intentional or not but some part of me feels like it may come back

Acho because apparently star is related to scott and that HAS to be something thats touched upon if even fought about.

But for now I think its way too early to tell but just know they have my suspicion.

However, i find everyone suspicious within that faction.. overly optimistic and lovable pirates scare me which is why will, graecie and ros concern me... that however could change in time of course

though p!micheala could be a completely different story but I guess we will find out tomorrow along with will.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

When I was younger everyone cared about Talk Like a Pirate Day. Every September 19th it'd be yars and shivers me timber all the way down, and people took delight in it. Now nobody ever talks like a pirate, on that day or any other. So few of us cling to the old ways. This is where our society went wrong. People not talking about pirates once a year, everything else about society is fine, probably

Yea I was having terminal sanuso brainrot so I had to do something about it (completely separate matter from stardew sanuso). They're watching the ship together while everyone else is off adventuring <3

pirate radio, december 2023 risograph printed in bright red and black ink

my final graphic design thesis project from about this time last year! i made a sleeve for a diy vinyl record (track featured by my friend aria @everlastingwife ^_^). this process was so much fun to experiment with!! on my first attempt, i tried to 3d print a record using a 3d model i generated from the wav file. this did not work because i didn't have access to any printers with a fine enough resolution — all of the grooves holding the audio information totally melted. for my second try, i used a subtractive process instead and badgered my department into buying the gakken toy record maker, which was essentially a tiny record lathe. the audio quality was total ass but it worked much better and was playable! lot of trial and error involved but i'm overall very satisfied with the final outcome :-] hope to make some cd mixtapes now that i no longer have access to that little lathe.

🏴‍☠️ bootleg everything. ok bye

September 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day! For today, Howard turned to the largest wood type that we have in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum to share his favorite pirate related joke.

This large letter C is 30 line pica (5 inches) and is of the French Clarendon typeface. This piece of type was made in the late 1880s by the Hamilton Wood Type Company in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.
