Blu-ray, vinyl records, maybe cassettes are your thing! Physical media is underrated.
Some reasons physical media is great.
• It’s fun to curate a collection of favorites
• They come in fun packagin and sometimes include fun bonuses (cards, stickers, bonus features/tracks)
• Streaming services suck. They’re like landlords for your favorite movies and TV shows.

whether films, books, vinyls or cds - physical media is great and important. nothing more satisfying than seeing your collection grow and being able to watch/listen to anything you want, no matter if it’s on a streaming service or not

I LOVE PHYSICAL MEDIA!! I love doing anything I can to have something in physical form in this age of things only being on your phone. Tickets for concerts and movies and rides, dvds, cds, vinyls, paperback books, I need all of it!!!

i rly like collecting my absolute favorite music / movies / books on audio because then it cant be taken away when a streaming service decides to get rid of it. u dont have to curate EVERY single thing u like but the really special stuff that u feel is intrinsic to you should make the cut. it makes it more special that way. physical media feels like something to be taken care of, like a plant or a pet. its a precious, physical manifestation of your life and preferences and personality. the only downside is if ur in a house fire u can't save them but other than that i think physical media does more good to collect than harm.

I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
