This is my third year doing an Anti-Spotify Wrapped on my Facebook. I started doing it because at one point I mostly just used Spotify for podcasts and shuffle in the car so Wrapped wasn't actually representative of what I listened to. In 2025 I don't think I used Spotify at all.

It's so fucking infuriating that every institution is bending over backwards to punish anyone who doesn't worship the stupidest most petulant crybullies on Earth.
I'd bet money the university wouldn't have shown such swiftness and care if a professor raped a student. But making a conservative sad?

I had this or a similar model a few years ago. It was my second film camera and my first one that wasn't "modern." It had light leaks and none of the electrical components worked but I got it for like five bucks. Some photos from when I was first learning to dev and scan at home in 2019.

Sometimes I think that if only I was more serious about my creative work when I was younger I'd be where I wanted to be in my career by now.
But then I remember that there's tons of people more talented and prolific than I could dream of who have been unemployable for 3 years straight.

On /co/ I've seen so many people who seem to have actual grudges against her as if she's a real person who needs to be held to account. They're still mad at 10+ year old episodes and draw deranged pictures like this to show how evil she is.
