Handbinding Project: My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie

This really started over a year ago, with a project started in the Renegade Bindery server: people would format different chapters of My Immortal, without knowing what anyone else was doing, and we would put them together into one file. It was agreed upon that everybody would disregard both good design and good taste. 

(If you click on each image, the caption lists who designed the page in question. I couldn’t include them all here, but every page is basically a work of art. Horrible, typographically hellish art.)

After raiding a Joann’s of materials I thought belonged in Hot Topic circa 2005 (before it just became Think Geek II: We Don’t Light Our Store,) I almost immediately tested positive for covid. So I made most of this over the last four days, and with varying levels of coherent thought and common sense. The process is documented in a thread here

@odense did you see this??

We don't take photos of the property before a tenant moves out. Especially not for showing to potential renters. Dunno what kind of shit urban slumlords are on. Taking pictures is purely for before & after photos to prove damages.

Yeah I'm not doing all that. Tumblr should just ban all things related to that franchise

We laugh at environmental media from the 80s like the villains in captain planet, but we forget that the people making that shit literally would have lived through such terrible air quality

Prove it.

You’re assuming every single legislator a) personally experienced that kind of pollution, and b) made effective regulations out of nothing but the kindness of their heart.

Personally, I don’t WANT legislators making laws for millions of people based on personal experience.

For all we know, that 73 photo was taken early in the morning, during random heavy fog. And I’m not even accounting for 50 years of photograph advances.

This pic of the same era took me about five seconds to find. Most of the results were like this. Which suggests your photo was cherry-picked.

Also, the fact that you’re taking deliberately and literally cartoonish and exaggerated villains as evidence of reality - the showrunners didn’t want to make the viewers’ parents out to be villains, allegedly - kinda throws your own logic into question.

Also, Captain Planet was a 90s show. 1990-96. So you got that wrong too.

So, I watched a video about timespace dilation and relativity today

I found out, that it’s possible to reach the center of the Milky Way galacy, and back to earth, in only 40 years time, if you maintain a constant acceleration of 1g the entire time. (1g is the acceleration rate required to hit escape velocity, so it’s a pretty aggressive speed!)

But, by the time you get back to earth, 60,000 years will have passed on earth. Because not only is time relative to gravity, time is also relative to acceleration. So, the faster you go, the slower time goes for you.

So it’s possible to go so fast, that you age slower than everyone around you.

and now, we know why Sonic the Hedgehog runs as fast as he does.

He runs from death.

This is by far my best post yet and y'all sleeping on it.

The radius and ulna are among my favourite bones specifically because they do this

I hate this. I hate that they do this. I think about this every time I rotate my wrist. It seems like the sort of thing that would go wrong in all sorts of horrible ways and leave a bone sticking out of my skin. and yet it keeps happening. every day of my life.

I rotate my arms regularly just because I like it when they do this.

iiiiiii dont. think thats how bones work

Here are two videos on Reddit demonstrating how the radius bone rotates around the ulna bone: link / link

Yeah i doubt someone would make these gifs for the purpose of an online joke so I have no choice but to believe it

i have a degree is bones (bioarchaeology) this is how bones work and i hate it

I love how the way bones work make people hate the way bones work. I love this about bones.

This is why climate change isn't just an environmental issue. It's a social issue, a cultural issue, and a legal issue. It's inextricably tied to capitalism--a system where the affluent are permitted to buy an unnecessary convenience simply because they're affluent enough to pay for it.

Am I saying it should be illegal to own and operate private jets? I don't know. Maybe I am. Seeing this obscene amount of carbon emission for one stupid football game sure makes me think it's irresponsible for private jet ownership to be allowed by a nation.

Yeah, and next on the chopping block is private car ownership. After all, if you're free to go where and when you please, you're just going to pour MORE carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

And then private heater ownership. Because if you're allowed to turn on the AC any time you like, well that's no good for everyone else is it?

You're going to fall down a rabbit hole of 'private ownership is bad' @jkl-fff because no matter what, it's always worse for one person to own something of their own.

You own your own house? Do you know how wasteful that is? No, you should be forced to live in a sardine can with exactly as many people as can share a house with you. Privacy be damned.

Your bleeding heart for the climate situation is self-destructive. If you follow the natural conclusion of your beliefs to their extreme end, you'll own nothing, and you won't be happy.

Instead, you should be looking for responsible, and clean alternatives to the real issues. Like replacing coal and fuel-burning energies with clean Thorium nuclear.

i saw the trailer for the new feel-good “anti-racist” US war movie about the carpet bombing of North Korea and started writing up something for this blog, partially inspired by the absolute shit storm i got for sharing that post i made with pictures of everyday life outside pyongyang

and then i gave up, because what’s the point? westerners can’t even handle a single picture of a north korean not looking miserable without screaming propaganda

meanwhile, there are no stories about the horrors of life in the ‘hermit kingdom’ that are deemed too outlandish to be believable. i can’t remember who said it, but it’s like the entire country has taken up permanent residence in the western imaginary as some silly little cartoon villain, where the leaders of the country does evil things for no discernible reason. they’re just silly and evil like that, and the citizens, of course, are silly, too. silly and brainwashed.

i watched a video recently of a tourists visiting an auto dealership in pyongyang, and the entire time he was just gawking at the employees and costumers, shoving his phone in their face, and confidently explaining to his youtube audience that everyone he’s interacting with are actually actors.

what level of dehumanization do you have to reach for that thought to even cross your mind? to think that the people you see before you are actors? that entire cities and shops are erected with to sole purpose that you, a western, will see them and be impressed?

what frustrates me the most is the casual cruelty that seeps into any mention of north korea, no matter how small. if north koreans are not being evil, they’re being silly.

a north korean newspaper reports that a group of archeologists in pyongyang have discovered an old rock carving with the words ‘unicorn lair’ (mistranslated), and the western press reports that north koreans now believe in unicorns.

a tourist at a hotel in hamhung is told by the receptionist to be careful at the beach: the waves can get high. that day the tourists goes to the beach, and there are no waves. she retells the story to her instagram followers, explaining that the poor woman at the hotel could never have seen real waves before because north koreans are probably never allowed to travel.

she adds a little teary-eyed emoji.

one of the cities i included in the post was sariwon, a densely populated city to the south of pyongyang. below are some pictures from its “folk customs street”, which was built to showcase old korean traditions and customs

here’s all wikipedia has to say about it

Built to display an ideal picture of ancient Korea, it includes buildings in the “historical style” and a collection of ancient Korean cannons. Although it is considered an inaccurate romanticized recreation of an ancient Korean street, it is frequently used as a destination for foreigners on official government tours. Many older style Korean buildings exist in the city.

it’s just north koreans being silly again. there’s no mention of what might motivate them to build a street like that — why the preservation of old customs, culture and architecture might somehow be important for the city

could it perhaps have something to do with how the U.S. air force dropped 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, over the korean peninsula during the war? the carpet bombings, which are now the topic of an upcoming hollywood movie about overcoming racism through warcrimes, destroyed an estimate of 85% of all buildings in north korea. some cities were entirely wiped off the map.

in sariwon they missed a few buildings, but not many — after an intense firebombing campaign the U.S. military estimated the destruction of sariwon to be at 95%.

none of this is mentioned on the wikipedia page for sariwon.

we destroyed entire cities. memory-holed the entire thing, called it the forgotten war. and now, 70 years later, we’re convincing ourselves that the people living in the ruins are actors.

and somehow the north koreans are the brainwashed ones

reblogging this again because genuinely, if you can exorcise the western demon in your head that dehumanizes north koreans to the point of caricature, and tells you their country is not worthy of self-determination, you will also have discovered the antidote to US propaganda in the process

Hey, retard.

It's not 'The North Koreans'.

It's the North Korean Government. We know what their government is, we know what they do to their people, we know what the fucking north korean government is. Are you seriously trying to deny the atrocities the North Korean government has commited?

Yeah. Of course some North Koreans are gonna look happy sometimes. They're literally brainwashed to not question the government. When they aren't starving to fucking death, they live in blissful ignorance to the splendor of living in literally any other country.

It does sucks a lot because I am starting to feel that my tweets and the stuffs I shared on Instagram is not helping but if Palestinians said to share it anyway, I'm just gonna do just that

Sorry to say it fam, but Palestine are all terrorists. They're a fundamentalist religious nation without a land to call their own, and their religion demands the death of all Jews.

So.

Uh.

Good luck being an antisemite if you support palestine, you're basically endorsing the systematic eradication of the Jewish people. Read the Quran sometime, it's absolutely wild.

Don't forget the Hadith. After reading all their text, they have some gall calling themselves a 'religion of peace'.

Yeah. Peace when Jews are dead and buried.

Hazbins beware of JooseVoxDubs/HatCatVoices/Donovan Brooks

Okay. So. My twitter got suspended for exposing this asshole. But he’s basically a massive pedophile and I hate to body shame, but I mean actually massive. He’s a big manipulator, who gives Minors positions of power and authority in his fan discord, to get them to trust him, and to get them to give him what he wants. He manipulates details, and he will gaslight you, if you let him. He somehow managed to manipulate all the details of his December fiasco so that my friends and I gave him a chance he didn’t deserve.

I’ll keep it simple, and just post a couple of the choicest(grossest?) things he’s said to minors.

The previous two screenshots are between Joose, and a 13 year old (at the time, aproximately June/July 2020.)

This screen shot was him encouraging her/coaching her over a video call, so the lazy shit didn’t have to speak to her. Followed later that afternoon by yet another call.

These are the most recent screens between himself, and Kailynn, a 16 year old, whom Joose groomed when she was 15, before soliciting her to get on video chats nude.

His mother, Victoria, is trying to run flak for him. Either she doesn’t believe he’s guilty, or she’s twisted as fuck, because she keeps saying that the MINORS TRAPPED HIS SON by being, idk, honeypots or something. The fuck? she also accused me of being racist, and is trying to hijack BLM to slander me?

She keeps harassing her son’s victims.

The North Carolina police in his area seem reluctant to work with Texas police, and keep giving the run-around on jurisdiction, like no PD in the area has Joose in their jurisdiction. (Texas being where the 16 year old minor is from.)

Anyway, he has a few public profiles you guys can have. It’s not illegal if they’re public.

If you’re a minor, Do not interact with this person.

If you’re an adult, probably don’t interact with this person, either.

update: Twitter was adamant that my evidence of her son’s bullshit was harassment, so I was forced to take down the audio. I’m not going to post anything that’s been ‘successfully’ flagged from here on, so bare with me, some of the MOST incriminating shit has to stay under lock and key.

Quick note: JooseVox was never, and has never been hired to do any official voice work. He was a fan VA with 2000+ subscribers on Youtube.

Second update, not only has his mother been running protection for him, but now so is his aunt.

Third update.

They've admitted to being a fucking pedo on Youtube. To their audience. They haven't posted in a couple weeks, which is new, and the victim says that he's been arrested. I can't find any proof, really. But you know what I think churns my stomach the worst? Look at some of these replies in their community.

What the actual fuck.

Anyway, here's hoping Donovan Wayne Brooks rots in fucking jail.
