Bluesky is as dead as my love life ayooooo haha kill me brother.
This is why I love archiving
To be clear, a YouTuber digitized it a month or so ago, @ftb1979.bsky.social spotted it and sent it to me like “you were right” and I was like OMG someone found it! I immediately sent it to Chris and waited for him to wake up over in UK time.
I rarely use this site or Twitter anymore. It’s weird to slowly disconnect from social media and sometimes feels a bit isolating but I think that’s a good thing and part of the point
I was at Horikiri two days ago it is a wonderful station I took this from the platform, dammit!
Tokyo has a ton of train stations - including some that barely anyone ever uses. Why do these stations exist? How do they keep going? Learn about Toyko's "ghost train" stations below.
Picked up a ton of home recorded VHS tapes from a couple moving out of state. A few are HBO recorded movies however got a lot of with original commercial content (WOC) including September 5th CNN recording including cut to the Queens statement on Diana's death, not uploaded to archive.org before.

Got stunlocked by seeing a Miku cosplayer at Christmas in the Park
Love that my medication I pay $10 a month for is going to jump to $800 a month next year, very cool.
He was forced to play card against humanity with family after Thanksgiving drinks
Happy day before Thanksgiving, here’s a few photos from Tokyo in 2023. I hope everyone gets some great food tomorrow, god I miss the food. #streetphotography #japantravel
I’m so fucking sad man, was driving back home from the grocery store and a skunk waddled into the road from the median. Couldn’t swerve right cause there was a car in the lane and I couldn’t break in time. RIP little buddy I’m so sorry.
Very happy to have a few weeks off in December, as our company gives us the Dec 13th-Jan 3rd off this year. Very annoyed that flights to Japan cost a billion dollars in December.
Kabukicho, Tokyo in the rain taken in April 2024. Listening to music and walking around taking photos in the densely packed and colorfully lit street will always be one of my favorite things in life. #photography #japantravel

Kanazawa in the spring vs winter. I wanna go back soon, underrated city.
Some photos from my last trip to Japan. Hoping I can go back in spring of 2025
Nujabes would have been 50 today. One of my biggest inspirations. Reason I started collecting records, a big reason why I did my first solo trip out of the country to Japan. Met so many amazing people over the years, because of his music and life. Thank you Jun.
Every time I’m tempted to apply for the Japanese digital nomad visa I’m reminded how painful it was working from midnight to 8am everyday.
I MADE IT!!! my name is a loo and im a lesbian artist~ i enjoy art, fantasy, and music! when it comes to art, i usually prefer to draw ocs~
