this compilation was my introduction to one of the bands in my top five favorites of all time: MY FAVORITE! brutally underrated nowadays, but once upon a time extremely beloved in sweden. i have a copy of a swedish music magazine (sonic! RIP) with a four page article about them and it is truly one of my most prized possessions. this compilation is literally all killer no filler, highly recommended!

Throwback Thursday #46!- V/A- Pop American Style (March Records, 1996)

By the mid-90’s the indie pop scene was bursting worldwide with new bands seemingly popping up everywhere, issuing new 7” singles every day. The American scene was no different with bands all over the place and compilations of all shapes and sizes (I even issued my own compilation, Popular World comp, on my very short-lived Sky Blue Records imprint in 2000). 

Jack “Skippy” McFadden’s March Records label had been going for a few years by this point and he had released some truly fine stuff (that Holiday debut is still one of my faves) so he threw his hat in with a comp of his own. But this wasn’t just any old comp, this one was a 2-disc set (with K-Tel being an influence) of too many great songs to name, finding bands in just about every outpost of America.

The record starts with Shoestrings and their impossibly lovely “Summer Days” (they released a very fine sophomore album a few years ago on Shelflife) and then right into the Rocketship classic, “Hey Hey Girl” then onto the Cuddlecore (not my term) of Cub (with “Howard”) and on to the suave pop of the previously-mentioned Holiday with “It’s Only Love.”

40 songs spread out over two discs with more great cuts coming via Heartworms (a side project of Archie from Velocity Girls), Allen Clapp  his Orchestra, My Favorite (with the brilliant “Go Kid Go”) and Poundsign with the superb “Starry Night.”

Who else? further, Vehicle Flips, Holiday Flyer, Aberdeen, the Push Kings, Elf Power, Tullycraft and too many more. It really did seem like the comp to end all comps and I played it for days/months.

If you missed this the first time around then head on over to Discogs where you can find a copy for a very reasonable price

**side note- a few years later Skippy released Moshi Moshi: Pop International Style with a 2-cd compilation of bands, as the title suggests, from the USA and around the globe. Not quite the eye-opener that this comp was but still pretty damn good.

secret 3rd kid

all the Dutch is from google translate so sorry if it’s wrong

[part 2]

Walking into the locker room where you would be spending the next 2 years of your life felt like a dream. It's all you have ever dreamt of playing with the best, taking after your mama. It's a big name to be associated with; everyone loves her, she is one of the best coaches in the game.

The door opening startles you. Looking at the clock on the wall, you realize you had been standing there for 30 minutes. An English voice startles you out of thought. “Hey, who are you? Are you meant to be here?” Before you can answer, the only real familiar voice responds to that question. “I guess we'll just have to do introductions now. You guys, this is Amalia Glotzbach, she is one of the new girls.”

Looking at the faces of the 4 girls standing not that far away from you, you can tell they were not expecting a new girl at the moment. Looking carefully at their faces, you try to see if any of them recognize your last name. By the looks on their faces, nobody knows, which you kinda expect from the girls that don't know your mama as you play under your dad's last name.

Feeling a hand on your shoulder, you turn to look at your new manger. “Do you want to introduce yourself properly?” Taking in a shaky breath, you nod at him. “Hey, I'm Amalia Glotzbach. I'm 16, I'll be 17 in a month. I've been playing football since I've been able to walk. I'm from the Netherlands.”

After saying the Netherlands part, Viv must have put two and two together. “Het kind van jouw Sarina.” (Your Sarina’s kid.) You smile at her. The other girls look confused. “Ja, ze is mijn moeder, mmm, kun je het misschien aan niemand vertellen? Ik wil gewoon gezien worden als mezelf en niet als Sarina Wiegman, jongen. Ik wil laten zien dat ik hier niet ben, alleen vanwege wie mijn moeder is. Ik weet dat mensen er ooit achter zullen komen, maar voor zover de wereld weet heeft ze maar twee kinderen.” (Yeah, she's my mama. Mmm, could you maybe not tell anyone? It's just I want to be seen as me and not Sarina Wiegman's kid. I want to show that I'm not here just because of who my mama is. I know at some point that people will figure it out, but as far as the world knows, she only has 2 kids.)

Waiting for her to reply, you look at the other three very confused girls. “Sorry about that,” you fake smile at them. After another brief silence, Viv speaks up. “Ik zal het aan niemand vertellen.” (I won't tell anyone.) Sending Viv a small smile, Beth speaks up. “I'm so confused but hey, I'm Beth Mead. Welcome to the team, kid.”

’Ik ga waar zij gaat’

Liefde tussen Daniëlle van de Donk en Australië-ster Ellie Carpenter overstijgt alles

'I go where she goes'

Love between Daniëlle van de Donk and Australia star Ellie Carpenter transcends everything

Daniëlle van de Donk (r.) straalt op de foto met haar geliefde Ellie Carpenter. De twee kunnen elkaar zomaar tegenkomen als opponenten op het WK.

Het was een geweldige shock voor Australië, donderdagavond in Brisbane. Waar niemand rekening mee had gehouden, geschiedde. De Matildas, outsider op het eigen WK, werden in Queensland pootje gelicht door Nigeria (2-3), waardoor plaatsing voor de knock-outfase een zware kluif gaat worden. Daniëlle van de Donk voelde een paar duizend kilometer verderop in Wellington met haar vriendin mee.

Natuurlijk had Van de Donk na de Australische nederlaag een vreugdesprongetje kunnen maken. Tenslotte: de Aussies zijn net als Nederland een kanshebber voor de wereldtitel. Maar zo zit Van de Donk niet in elkaar.

It was a great shock for Australia, Thursday night in Brisbane. What no one had taken into account happened. The Matildas, outsider at their own World Cup, were lifted in Queensland by Nigeria (2-3), making placement for the knockout phase a tough hit. Daniëlle van de Donk felt with her friend a few thousand kilometers away in Wellington.

Of course Van de Donk could have made a leap of joy after the Australian defeat. Finally: the Aussies, like the Netherlands, are a contender for the world title. But that's not how Van de Donk works.

De liefde voor haar Ellie overstijgt het WK. „Ik hoop dat mijn vriendin ver komt”, zegt de verliefde Oranje Leeuwin na terugkomst uit Wellington, waar Oranje en de Verenigde Staten een waar spektakelstuk hadden opgevoerd. „Natuurlijk wil ik dat. Ellie heeft er keihard voor getraind. Zij is net terug van een kruisbandblessure.”

The love for her Ellie transcends the World Cup. 'I hope my girlfriend gets far,' says the Orange Lioness in love after returning from Wellington, where Orange and the United States had staged a true spectacle. “Of course I want that. Ellie trained hard for it. She has just returned from a cruciate ligament injury.”

Ellie Carpenter is mateloos populair in haar geboorteland. Op vijftienjarige leeftijd maakte de rechtsback haar debuut voor het nationale elftal, een jaar later was ze de jongste deelnemer aan het olympisch voetbaltoernooi. De vonk tussen Carpenter en Van de Donk sloeg over in Frankrijk, waar ze samen uitkomen voor Olympique Lyonnais.

Ellie Carpenter is immensely popular in her native country. At the age of fifteen, the right back made her debut for the national team, a year later she was the youngest participant in the Olympic football tournament. The spark between Carpenter and Van de Donk spread in France, where they play together for Olympique Lyonnais.

In de armen sluiten | Closing in the arms

Ze konden elkaar een paar weken terug in Sydney nog even kort in de armen sluiten, vertelt Van de Donk, die in de uren na het duel met de VS een ware hit was op social media vanwege de zwarte badmuts die ze de laatste paar minuten van het duel moest dragen.

They were able to embrace each other briefly a few weeks ago in Sydney, says Van de Donk, who was a real hit on social media in the hours after the duel with the US because of the black swimming cap she had to wear for the last few minutes of the duel.

Voor aankomst in Nieuw-Zeeland verbleef Oranje negen dagen in Sydney. „Daar hebben we elkaar nog een uurtje kunnen zien”, zegt Van de Donk. Carpenter was op doorreis naar Brisbane, waar de Australische selectie haar tenten heeft opgeslagen. „Ik moest allemaal spullen voor haar meenemen, proteïnes en zo. Het kwam toevallig zo uit dat we elkaar konden treffen. Hoe kort ook, ik was hartstikke blij om haar te zien.”

Before arriving in New Zealand, Orange stayed in Sydney for nine days. 'We were able to see each other there for another hour,' says Van de Donk. Carpenter was passing through to Brisbane, where the Australian selection pitched its tents. “I had to bring all kinds of stuff for her, proteins and stuff. It just so happened that we could meet. No matter how short, I was very happy to see her.”

Staan vol achter ploeg | Are full behind squad

Het is dat Van de Donk zelf actief is op het WK, anders had ze alle duels van haar geliefde op de tribunes gezeten. „Ik vind dat ze ook een heel leuk team hebben. De mensen in Australië staan als home country vol achter de ploeg, de stadions zitten vol en breken records. Daar moet ik ook achter staan. Maar dat had ik vorig jaar op het EK ook bij Engeland. Die zijn ook op de juiste manier aan de weg aan het timmeren. Nou, dan heb je mijn support al. Want ik wil het vrouwenvoetbal ook alleen maar verder helpen”, meent Van de Donk, die na haar loopbaan het trainersvak in wil. „Sommige trainingspapiertjes heb ik al.”

It is that Van de Donk herself is active at the World Cup, otherwise she would have sat all the duels of her lover in the stands. “I think they also have a very nice team. The people in Australia are full behind the team as a home country, the stadiums are full and break records. I have to stand behind that too. But I also had that at the European Championships last year in England. They are also working on the right way. Well, then you already have my support. Because I only want to help women's football further,” says Van de Donk, who wants to enter the coaching profession after her career. 'Some training papers I already have.'

Afgelopen zomer bezocht Van de Donk voor de eerste keer het land van haar vriendin. „Dat was na het EK, uiteraard met zijn tweetjes. Ik had een hele goede reisgids aan haar en heb hele mooie dingen gezien. Zelf komt Ellie uit het binnenland van New South Wales, op vijf uur rijden van Sydney. Ze woonde er op een boerderij en weet zelfs hoe je slangen moet killen. Verder was er daar helemaal niks te doen. Gelukkig wonen haar ouders nu in Sydney.”

Last summer Van de Donk visited her girlfriend's country for the first time. “That was after the European Championship, of course the two of us. I had a very good travel guide with her and saw very beautiful things. Ellie herself comes from the interior of New South Wales, a five-hour drive from Sydney. She lived there on a farm and even knows how to kill snakes. There was nothing else to do there at all. Fortunately, her parents now live in Sydney.”

"’Ellie woonde op een boerderij en weet hoe ze slangen moet killen’"

"'Ellie lived on a farm and knows how to kill snakes'"

Elke dag contact | Contact every day

Natuurlijk heeft ze contact met haar vriendin. Elke dag. Ze gunnen elkaar sportief het allerbeste, weet Van de Donk: „We willen allebei dat de ander ver komt. We kunnen elkaar pas in de finale tegenkomen. Wat een finale zou dat zijn.” Niet ondenkbaar: ze zouden elkaar in het veld zomaar kunnen tegenkomen. Van de Donk, stellig: „We gaan niet voor elkaar uit de weg. Oh nee, we gaan er gewoon vol op. Honderd procent.”

Of course she has contact with her girlfriend. Every day. They wish each other the very best sportingly, Van de Donk knows: “We both want the other to go far. We can't meet until the final. What a finale that would be.” Not unthinkable: they could just meet in the field. Van de Donk, firmly: “We do not shy away from each other. Oh no, we're just going full. One hundred percent.”

En na die, vooralsnog imaginaire finale, zal het vast wel goed komen tussen de tortelduifjes, vermoedt Van de Donk, die zich wellicht ooit nog eens met haar Ellie in Australië zal gaan vestigen. „Het zou kunnen, maar niets is zeker. Het is best gek. Ik denk nu eigenlijk: ik ga waar zij gaat. Ze is een stuk jonger dan ik, dus ik denk dat zij langer blijft voetballen. Uiteindelijk zal ik dus wel mee moeten. Zo staan we er eigenlijk beiden in. Of het nou Australië wordt of Nederland, of van mijn part Italië, we zien het wel. Als we maar samen zijn.”

And after that, for the time being imaginary finale, things will probably be fine among the lovebirds, suspects Van de Donk, who may one day settle in Australia with her Ellie. “It could be, but nothing is certain. It's pretty crazy. I actually think: I'm going where she goes. She's a lot younger than me, so I think she keeps playing football longer. So in the end I will have to come along. That's how we both are in it. Whether it will be Australia or the Netherlands, or of my part Italy, we'll see. As long as we are together.”

Hey Kristi! how are you doing today? uwu.

I hope you have enough water thoughout your day.

How did you get into the IF world, and how did you learn how to code (or pseudocode)? What engine are you implementing on your game?

I love your story, and as a person who wants to tell a story, i am struggling with that. (I only speak python for god's sake i'm a poor it student)

Also, a recommendation for fans out there wanting to make a game independently?

When can we hold Blane for a sec really he needs a hug

hi! so, all my advice i've tagged on my blog, but the best post i have for coding and this particular scenario is probably this one.

however, i've said it before and i'll say it again: i'm probably not the person you should go to for coding. i learned (a word i use loosely) everything in the span of two months and promptly forgot it all. ask me anything now and i'll be stumbling through an explanation that might not even be correct so. take all of my coding advice with a grain of salt.

but to answer your question, i use twine (sugarcube) to code my story. for ease of writing, i open my code in visual studio code with the twee extension that colour codes everything to make it easier on the eyes.

in general, my best advice for learning to code is to just go nuts. start with a template, play around with it, look at blogs that are better coders than i am and see if they can answer the questions you have. google things, search up css guides (w3schools was extremely useful for me) and eventually, you'll start to learn the patterns enough to put together what you want. it's very vague, i know, but this is genuinely how i learned and what worked best for me.

good luck !!

(Gif is not mine, all credits too the owner)

Her and frenkie's love life had been quite private but after a picture of the two together on the beach got leaked, everything changed. Luckily for her, her face didn't show. The only thing they could see was what they knew as a random girl, laying on frenkie's chest as he hugged onto her body.

But once that picture was leaked, everyone wanted too know who frenkie's girl was.

He had neither confirmed or denied anything on social media. If he did comment on it people would definitely find out about it.

But last night he decided too at least let them know that she were not only a random hookup or anything but actually his girlfriend.

Tap too load more comments...

As soon as she saw the comment she immediately tapped the Notification Center and saw that already over thousands of people had followed her.

No, no, no. That wasn't supposed too happen. She thought too herself, panic washing over her.

While all of this happened frenkie was out for a photo shoot for the new Barcelona kit. But even if he was there it's not like he could've done anything about it.

Was it a good idea too set her profile to private now? Or was it too late? She had know idea what too do so she decided too call one of her best friend Taia, raphinia's girlfriend.

She picked up after three rings.

"Hey babes, what's up?"  Natalia's sweet voice rang through her ears, it was sort of comforting

"Hi taia, have you seen frenkie's post?" She asked the Brazilian as she sat down on her and frenkie's bed.

"No? Let me check it out real quick" There was a little pause of silence as taia checked the post, viewing some of the comments as well.

"Oh babes...I'm sorry. I know you didn't want to be very public" Taia smiled sadly over the camera.

"But...what should I do? I mean, I thought of maybe setting it too private, but I feel like that would be too late now..." She sighed.

"It's not too late, you can just remove the followers, though that might take a while" Taia quickly realized how long that might take.

"But I still think it might be a good idea, you can always take breaks from removing them" Taia shrugged.

"Okey, yeah. I guess you're right. Thanks taia" She smiled slightly at the older woman .

"Of course I'm right, I'm always right" She joked making a light chuckle escape from the other girl.

"Okey, I've got to go, Gael just woke up from his nap"

"Okey, give him a kiss from his favorite aunt"

"I will, bye, love you"

"Love you too"

She hung up and fell down on the bed letting out a big sight.

She put her profile on private even though there was already 26 thousand people that had already managed too follow her.

She knew dating a footballer would be hard, especially when she was just a normal girl. But she hadn't planned on letting people find out who she was. So this was a little unexpected, she wasn't prepared.

She decided too go clear her head a little and took a long shower. Self care never fails too make a person feel better.

But as soon as she was finished with all the skincare as well all she could see was notifications popping up on her Insta. And of course her being her, had too cheek it out.

There was lots of comments on one of her most recent post

Tap to load more comments...

The comments went on and on about her appearance and that frenkie was probably with her because he felt bad and that he was probably cheating on her. But the worst was probably the ones that told her too kill herself.

She didn't know what too do, everything just felt wrong. Had frenkie seen them? Probably not, he wasn't too active on Insta and since it wasn't under his post the worst comment was, he hadn't got any notifications.

As she continued reading the comments, she hadn't even noticed tears rolling down her face. A loud sob escaped her mouth as she buried her head in frenkie's pillow. It smelled so much like him.

She always felt comforted around him so just smelling his scent made her body ease up a tiny bit. But still she didn't understand why they were so mean. She started questioning everything they were saying.

Did she really look that ugly? Was she not good enough? Was she not good enough for frenkie? Should she really consider killing herself? What did frenkie see in her? After all she was just a normal girl, with a normal life.

All these thoughts flooded her mind, she hadn't noticed the door downstairs had been shut. That wasn't until she heard footsteps coming into the bedroom.

Luckily for her, he couldn't see her face since it was literally buried in the pillow, so she hoped the tears would stop. Sadly Hope wasn't on her side this time.

"Hey prinses" Frenkie's soft voice made her want to cry even more. (Princess)

"Hi kie" She mumbled in the pillow her voice sore. 

"You feeling okey? Are you sick? C'mere let me feel your forehead" He panicked immediately hearing how hoarse her voice was, and he knew how much she hated being sick.

"No,no I'm okey" She mumbled again but it was too late, he had already turned her over so he could feel her forehead.

Once frenkie saw her tear stained face, a frowned made its way onto his face.

"Prinses, what's the matter, why are you crying?" He asked, his voice filled with concerned. He sat down on the side of the bed as his hand moved up too her cheek and caressing it softly. (Princess)

She couldn't say anything, if she did she would just start sobbing. And she didn't want too look so weak in front of him, not that he hadn't seen her cry a numerous times already.

"Baby, talk too me" His thumb rubbed her cheeks gently, as his other hand removed some of the hair that was sticking too her wet cheeks due too the tears.

As soon as she opened her mouth too say anything a sob left her mouth.

Frenkie didn't say anything, he just laid down besides her and pulled her body into his own. He caressed the back of her head into his chest, letting her cry.

His heart broke seeing her so vulnerable.

"Shh, it's okey liefje. It's all gonna be okey" He ran his fingers through her soft hair. (Sweetheart)

"Shh, I just need my pretty girl too breath okey? Can you do that for me?" He asked her softly as he kissed her head multiple times.

He continued his actions as she inhaled his scent deeply before exhaling again, then repeating it until she had calmed down.

"You ready too talk schatje?" He moved her head gently up from his chest so he could see her face. (Cutie)

"I'm sorry" She wasn't quite sure what she was apologizing for, it was just a random habit she had.

"Don't be sorry" His lips brushed her forehead softly his thumb rubbing soothing circles on her cheek. His actions made her sleepy as well as already being tired from all the crying.

She laid her head down against his chest again and as Frenkie continued stroking her cheek she fell into a deep slumber.

__________________________

The next morning she had just excused herself, telling him that she had the worst migraine ever. And he believed her seeing as she often had those types of migraines. He had just brushed it off until about a week later.

The two were just laying in bed cuddling. Both scrolling through their phone. She couldn't seem too get a break, they just loved hating on her.

Her being her, couldn't just ignore it. It was basically impossible. So while she read through the awful comments about her, she couldn't help the tears forming in her eyes.

Her grip on frenkie's hoodie tightened, this didn't go unnoticed by him.

"Liefje, you okey?" He asked lifting her head up gently being met by her teary eyes. (Sweetheart)

"Hey, what's wrong?" Just as the question slipped from him a single tear fell down her face being followed by more.

"Hey, prinses don't cry. Shh Don't cry" He spoke as his arms wrapped around hers tightly not letting her go. (Princess)

" They're so mean" She sobbed into his chest, he felt his shirt become damp with tears. And no matter how kind frenkie was, he would kill for that girl. So whoever made his girl upset should definitely watch out.

"Mijn lieve meisje, who's mean?" He stroked her hair, wiping her tears away with the pad of his thumb. (My sweet girl)

She didn't answer him though, she stayed silent as the tears slowly stopped falling as he ran his hand up and down her spine, his movements calling her ever so slightly.

"Talk to me liefde" He encouraged, looking into her eyes. (Love)

"Your fans, they're so mean" She repeated, biting the inside of her cheek.

"What do you mean liefje?" He asked confused, not understanding what she meant. (Sweetheart)

She just gave him her phone. He took it and scrolled through the comments. He was shocked too say the least. He didn't expect people too be so rude too his girlfriend, especially not with how sweet she was.

"Liefje, has this been going on since we went public?" A hint of rage could be heard in his tone. She could see the pure anger on his face as she nodded. (Sweetheart)

"Why didn't you tell me liefje? I could've made them stop" He asked her frowning

(Sweetheart)

"I didn't want to bother you kie" she sighed looking down feeling the wetness on her cheeks.

"You have too tell me this type of stuff. You can't keep that too yourself" he scolded her softly before hugging her tightly against him, giving her a slight squeeze as he felt her body tremble.

"None of it is true mijn prinses, they're just jealous okey?" "You are the sweetest human being too ever exist. You're gorgeous, I've never seen anyone as gorgeous as you" (my princess)

"I love you, so so much. If I ever lost you, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So don't you dare listen to what they're saying because it's all bullshit" "they just have a horrible life and take it all out on other innocent people, who have done nothing wrong"

"You're my beautiful girl, with one of the kindest heart and such a sweet soul. Okey? Please tell me you understand me" He looked at her with sorrow in his eyes, he really hoped she understood what he was saying.

"I understand" She sniffed wiping her tears with the sleeves of the hoodie she was wearing.

"Good...I love you so much liefje"  He whispered softly kissing the side of her head and pulling her on top of him earning a small giggle from the girl.

(Sweetheart)

"I'm sorry you had to read all that, but I hope you know that I'm here with you, I'll always be here with you. I'll protect you from all these awful people. I'll protect you from everything" He assured her as she felt her eyes become slightly heavy.

"Even from scary spiders?" She questioned, though it was muffled by frenkies hoodie.

"Even from scary spiders" He confirmed with a little chuckle.

"Thank you frenkie" He could feel her smile into his hoodie.

"Of course baby"

"Ik hou zoveel van je mijn mooie prinses"

(I love you so much my beautiful princess)

"Ik hou ook van jou" She said tiredly, Her voice low. (I love you too)

"Go to sleep...I can tell you're tired" He told her, running his fingers through her hair.

A chuckle released from frenkie once he heard a little moan, meaning she was asleep.  She had a habit of moaning when she slept, frenkie thought it was adorable though.

"Welterusten lieverd, zoete dromen" He whispered, kissing her forehead softly.

(Good night sweetheart, sweet dreams)

How to Keep Your Twine Project Safe

It is a tale as old as time. The app crashes, your cache is cleared, your laptop breaks, and hours or days or weeks of work is lost. It's a terrible experience, and you never think about what to do in that situation until it happens to you- and by that time, it's already too late. So here's your prompt to get ahead of things and keep your project protected before something goes wrong.

So here, I'll be going over some layers of security you can use...

1. NEVER use the web app

I know this one's gonna be controversial. I know, a lot of people use the web app! It exists for a reason! But if you do, you're leaving your work very vulnerable.

When you use a local installation of Twine, your files are being saved to local storage. That means that everything is saved on your hardware, and with the exception of a freak event, it's not going anywhere. Don't get me wrong, those freak events aren't rare enough to dismiss (we'll talk about that later), but it's not quite as bad as the web app.

Instead of saving your files locally, the web app saves your progress to your browser's cache- the same thing that saves your cookies and keeps you logged in on websites. If your cache is cleared for any reason, your games will be gone.

2. Write your documents in a separate program

Chances are, if you're using Twine, there's a lot of stuff you can do outside of Twine before moving it into the program itself. A common practice is to write prose in a separate program, and then move it all into Twine when you're finished and write the code in Twine. This is a great way to back up your work, because if Twine has an error, you'll still have all the source files to reconstruct what you had before.

I'd recommend trying to use a stable program to write in. That means something that saves locally and doesn't frequently crash. In other words, do not use Google Docs. Instead of Docs, try one of these:

Microsoft Word (expensive, subscription, but stable)

LibreOffice (free, stable)

Scrivener (one time purchase, stable)

3. Back EVERYTHING up

I can not stress this enough. Back up your damn work. Back it up in multiple places if possible.

"Oh, but I'm using Google Docs, it's already backed up!" NO. No it is not. To keep your work truly safe, you need multiple copies hosted on multiple pieces of hardware. If one of those is a Google server, great! But if it's just one, that means that one single failure in that hardware (or the software associated) will mean everything is lost.

You can back up your files from the Twine program by going under the Build tab and selecting Publish to File or Export as Twee. Saving that to your device is already better than having it saved by the Twine app, but you'll be even safer if you back that file up to an external hard drive (or just a cheap USB drive) and a cloud hosting service like Dropbox or Google Drive. To make it extra safe and minimize lost progress, make sure you replace these files regularly.

That seems like a lot of work though, right? Yeah. So here's my final piece of advice...

4. Use Git

Git is how I've been backing up my latest project, Signal Hill. It's intimidating at first, but there are simple and easy ways to use platforms like Github to keep your work safe and fix big errors. To teach you how, I've created a whole separate tutorial, which you can find here.

annika norlins english project, hello saferide, is more well known outside of sweden than her main band säkert! which is a true bummer because everything that hello saferide does, säkert! does better. even if you don't understand what she is saying, the music by itself and her golden vocal melodies make it worth checking out. i would recommend google translating her lyrics though, norlin is one of the best songwriters in swedish pop (or music in general) and a true indie cult classic.

this is THE hit! everytime this song plays on the indie clubs, the floor is filled immediately. one of swedens only twee pop hits!

"we will die at the same time"

i could write more about the AMAZING swedish indie pop scene and its subculture, the pop kids (poppare) but that can wait for another day (im thinking of doing a zine about it actually, more about that later!)

Dystopische Nederlanders

Ok, euhm, hoe ga ik dit uitleggen.

Ik heb inmiddels nogal wat ervaring met zo'n beetje heel christelijk Nederland. En er zitten écht rare types tussen.

Ik wil er hier even twee noemen in aantocht naar de Amerikaanse verkiezingen, op basis van een Tumblr post die ik zojuist gerebloged heb.

De eerste is Gezin in Gevaar.

Ze zullen het je zelf niet snel melden, maar deze website en Youtube account, die het bestaan van een kleurrijk boekje over homohuwelijken zien als het einde der tijden, zijn bedacht door de organisatie Civitas Christiana. De Nederlandse tak van TFP. TFP zijn een organisatie die ons terug willen sleuren naar een tijd nog vóór het concilium van Trent uit de 16e eeuw! Gezin in Gevaar zijn het daar volledig mee eens, al zullen dat zelf niet toegeven. Hoe ik dat weet? Omdat Hugo Bos de secretaris is van CC én de baas van GiG!

Iedere keer als je een nieuwsfragment ziet over de week van de Lentekriebels, over 'bezorgde ouders' of over 'fouten bij de Rutgers stichting', weet dan dat journalisten in de propaganda van Gezin in Gevaar zijn getrapt. De organisatie heeft gelijk, soms gaat Rutgers te ver in haar seksuele voorlichting, maar het feit dat een hyperconservatieve christelijke organisatie de conversatie kan leiden omtrent dit onderwerp, Hugo wordt vaak geïnterviewed in reportages over dit onderwerp, maakt dat we deze organisatie dringend in de gaten moeten blijven houden, en we ze beter niet meer kunnen uitnodigen om de conversatie te leiden over dit onderwerp!

De tweede organisatie bestaat niet meer, maar dat maakt ze niet minder dystopisch. Waar nu de macht in Nederland in handen is van de VVD, was dat rond 1900 anders. Terwijl Aletta Jacobs, Jacobus Schoondermark, Jan Rutgers en Frederik van Eeden bezig waren met de eerste emancipatiebeweging, moesten zij vechten tegen de extreem-conservatieve ARP, oftewel "Anti-Revolutionaire Partij". (Zij waren wel niet de machtigste partij though. Dat waren de liberalen en/of de katholieken. Maar de ARP zaten wel echt ALTIJD mee in de regering!)

Nou denk je misschien dat dit een hele pacifistische partij is die gewoon rust willen, maar nee. Revolutie verwijst hier naar een specifiek revolutie; namelijk de Franse Revolutie! De ARP waren anti-democratie en anti-scheiding van kerk en staat. We leren allemaal op school dat het algemeen vrouwenkiesrecht geruild moest worden tegenover vrijheid van onderwijs. En wie stonden er aan de andere kant van die ruil? Juist ja, de ARP! ZIJ zijn de reden dat de Nederlandse overheid tot op de dag van vandaag betaalt voor evolutie- en klimaat-ontkenners in het Nederlandse onderwijs!!!!!!!!! En dat zoiets OOK NOG in de GRONDWET staat vastgelegd!?!?!?!?!!?

Weet je waarom Nederland zo moeilijk Indonesië af kon staan? VANWEGE DE ARP die op dat moment de macht hadden en twee "politionele acties" uitvoerden omdat zij Indonesië zagen als "hen door God gegeven". (Al speelden hier decennia aan kleinering van het Indonesische volk in de Nederlandstalige wetenschappelijke literatuur wel een rol in, maar soit.) Als laatste waren de ARP ook verantwoordelijk voor Hendrik Colijn, de man bekend als de meest incompetente minister-president uit de vaderlandse geschiedenis. (Google ff op “Gaat u maar rustig slapen”, een van de oudste Nederlandse memes.)

En wat veel mensen niet weten is dat deze dystopische organisatie is opgericht door Abraham Kuyper. Kuyper is zo'n beetje de belangrijkste man in de ontwikkeling van het Nederlands protestantisme na 1800. In die tijd had je twee type hervormers; progressieven en conservatieven. Kuyper was grotendeels deel van de laatste categorie. Hij vond de mainstream kerk, de Nederlands Hervormde Kerk, te progressief, en richtte de Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk op, die zes jaar later al weer over ging in de "Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland". Lange tijd DE conservatieve tegenhanger van de NHK. Kuyper heeft er voor gezorgd dat een groot deel van Nederland éxtra conservatief geworden is! Vooral in de Biblebelt!

Dus even voor de duidelijkheid. Christenen die ons EEUWEN TERUG de tijd in willen sleuren, dan wel naar de 16e, dan wel naar de 18e eeuw, bestaan nog steeds of hebben in een recent verleden bestaan (De ARP is in 1974 opgegaan in het nog steeds bestaande CDA, net als de katholieke partijen. Het CDA is wel aanzienlijk progressiever dan de ARP ooit was though.)

Absurd conservatisme is niet iets uit een ver verleden. Vandaag de dag kunnen mens nog steeds het halve land achter zich krijgen met uitspraken als "alles was beter voor de emancipatiebewegingen van 1960" of "Alles was beter in de Gouden Eeuw, daar moeten we weer naar terug."

DIT. IS. NIET. NORMAAL. zoals Innuendo Studios het zo mooi zegt in zijn nieuwste video. CC die de Week van de Lentekriebels in zijn volledigheid willen afschaffen is niet normaal, ARP die willen dat de staat betaalt voor christelijk onderwijs en vooral voor wetenschap-ontkenning is niet normaal. Incels die vinden dat we terug moeten naar gender rollen van vóór 1960, zijn niet normaal.

Dit soort dingen ZIJN niet normaal en MOETEN ook NOOIT normaal WORDEN. Maar dat lukt alleen als WIJ een streep trekken. Anders doen zij het namelijk voor ons. CC heeft de streep gezet. Ieder jaar proberen zij tijdens de Week van de Lentekriebels het NORMAAL te maken dat OUDERS als ENIGEN hun kinderen sexuele voorlichting mogen geven. EN NIEMAND ANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!

We weten allemaal hoe slecht en problematisch thuisonderwijs is, al helemaal voor zoiets gevoeligs als sexuele voorlichting. Maar ieder PowNews of Telegraaf spotje over de Rutgers Stichting maakt CC's mening meer normaal, en die van ons minder. LAAT. DIT. NIET. GEBEUREN.

Stem! Praat! Verkondig! Want als wij het niet doen, dan doen zij het wel! Het is ze al eens gelukt in 1900, maar weet je wie het toen ook gelukt is? De feministen! ZIJ kregen algemeen kiesrecht al in 1919 na algemeen mannenkiesrecht in 1917 én algemeen onderwijs voor kinderen! (Beter bekend als de leerplicht. Anders had je nu nog steeds in de fabriek gewerkt!) Ook was het onder druk van de feministen dat het kinderwetje van Van Houten werd ingevoerd en het kiesrecht al in 1887 werd verbreed. (De feministen waren in die tijd voornamelijk een one issue partij voor algemeen kiesrecht, andere feministische zaken stonden op de tweede plaats. Zoals bijvoorbeeld kinderbescherming en -rechten, ook begonnen door de feministen.) In andere landen duurde algemeen kiesrecht veel langer! Omdat NEDERLAND een sterke traditie van feministen heeft die niet over zich heen laten praten! Die netwerkten en vechten voor hun idealen. (Van Houten kwam ook niet met het idee voor zijn wetje. Dat idee kwam van de feministen maar konden ze alleen via hem in de Kamer krijgen.)

Dus verkondig! Want er zijn voldoende Nederlanders, zo zie je nu, die graag over je heen praten met hoe ZIJ de wereld graag zouden zien! En dat doen ze dan ook nog eens in eufemismen! Sta. Dat. Niet. Toe. En noem het middeleeuwse, christelijke beestje bij de naam!

Maak HUN mening niet NORMAAL. Zelfs als de Telegraaf en PowNews dit wel doen.

I'm very confused and Google couldn't help but maybe you can.. if rule #2 is don't ever hug a lobster if you see him on the street, what is rule #1 and where do I find these rules please

oh dang I guess it's been long enough people may not know the context. I'm sorry to break it to you anon, but there is no Rule #1 (or any other rules).

a few years back, before "AI" became the plague on humanity that it is today, there was this thing called Inspirobot that was basically a neural net designed to replicate twee facebook/instagram quote graphics, and most of what it spat out was completely nonsensical.

it was all the rage for a while and there was a blog called @best-of-inspirobot that collected particularly weird/funny ones that it generated.

Rule #2 (more commonly known as just "the lobster poem") was a thing I wrote based on one of best-of-inspirobot's posts that just said "Rule #2: don't ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street" because I noticed it was in perfect iambic heptameter (aka what ballads are written in, not to be confused with iambic pentameter, which is for sonnets. I am clarifying because people have been yelling at me for years because they mistakenly thought I said iambic pentameter. I didn't. Rule #2 is a ballad).

for reasons known only to the inscrutable universe, this poem that I wrote in fifteen minutes and expected maybe five people to ever see breached containment spectacularly and can now be found all over random corners of the internet, usually without the title attached, but Rule #2 was always just a part of the original inspirobot quote and doesn't mean anything else.
