I'm gonna rep my scene because I lived out of state for a hot second and now that I'm back I get to rediscover all these incredible bands - Vein.fm and Fuming Mouth were (and still are) big names in the contemporary Boston hardcore scene, and when I was in Western Mass there was Fetal Anomaly (who I cannot find anymore, they might've just been UMass students lol) and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean (both bands lean a little more death metal). Adrienne broke up last year, but they were incredible as well. And of course, the classics, Converge and Cave In! I also recommend Fiddlehead for something more post-hardcore, like Title Fight-adjacent sounding, one of the members was a friend of mine's chemistry teacher in high school

woman-fronted hardcore group from boston. amazing sound, they’ve been making music off and on for over a decade. my favorite songs of theirs are “back from the dead“ and “damaged goods.” definitely worth a listen if you like hardcore!!

trapped under ice @ this is hardcore 2013

Obviously your mileage may vary based on your tolerance for hardcore punk, but if you're so inclined, this was their last show before going on hiatus for a few years. The raw energy in the room is unfathomable; skip to the last two minutes if you don't believe me.
That hiatus is when two side projects really started taking off, too. Justice (the vocalist) started pumping out Angel Du$t albums, and Brendan (the drummer) started to become much better-known for his band Turnstile... Astute viewers will notice Franz from Turnstile singing around 39 minutes into this set as well! This show, to me, feels like a big bang that sent those two bands hurtling towards the 2020s to redefine the genre.

[FILMGRAB]

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Second hand Physical media

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered
