The Internet Archive needs your help.
A coalition of major record labels has filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive—demanding $700 million for our work preserving and providing access to historical 78rpm records. These fragile, obsolete discs hold some of the earliest recordings of a vanishing American culture. But this lawsuit goes far beyond old records. It’s an attack on the Internet Archive itself.
This lawsuit is an existential threat to the Internet Archive and everything we preserve—including the Wayback Machine, a cornerstone of memory and preservation on the internet.
At a time when digital information is disappearing, being rewritten, or erased entirely, the tools to preserve history must be defended—not dismantled.
This isn’t just about music. It’s about whether future generations will have access to knowledge, history, and culture.
Sign our open letter and tell the record labels to drop their lawsuit.

Art is fun. You don't have to like my art. My art doesn't need to be considered great. I'm not hurting anyone with my art and it makes me feel good so to me.. it's just fine. I don't NEED to get better at it. I don't NEED to do it a certain way. I simply need to enjoy it, and in my mind.. not cause any damage to anyone else. It took me a long time to allow myself that freedom and now that I understand it, I refuse to go back to trying to fit someone else's box. Enjoy art... your own way.
im in disbelief at the fact that a lot of folks are simply over palestine. like protests are dwindling down. people are not very interested in news related to gaza. some are simply over it.
israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.
i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.
despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?

Felt this. Way too much.
when Charles Bukowski said "and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"
Hello my friends
I am Mohammed, I live in Gaza, I am 14 years old , while I was in a tent made of cloth ⛺️💔
I still live in a tent until now, and in the midst of the intense heat, epidemics, insects, and unclean water, I still live. 🇵🇸
I hope you will help me save my future and travel abroad so that I can complete my education and rebuild my home 🙏🏼🍉.

I post here to be able to share my art and thoughts and not worry to much about my parents knowing about it as they probably don't use tumblr.
I don't plan on putting a face to my pen name, as I prefer to be anonymous. I'm pretty sure peers of mine would know it's me, but those out side the circle won't. I should mention that I don't mind having very few who follow me, if three people or so enjoy my art then I am glad. I should also say I post thoughts and crap etc., but I made this account originally for art.
The only clues to who I am is that I'm 15 and the first letter of my first and last name are k and n.
Have a wonderful day to those who stumble upon this or the few people who follow

A drawing I did in adobe illustrator for an assignment
I’m actually pretty proud of it. It was a pain to navigate layers though. And it took me like 5 hours of my free time along with 8 I spent on it during the lessons
And I found I’m nonbinary kinda. So that’s neet. Also Cy sorry for coming out this way instead of the last time we were playing but I was scared
how it feels to properly interpret a social cue

A life-changing epiphany.
A complication.
A trepidation
that even in
the insurgents,
the ones with
bottles and bottles
of red pills,
the Mavericks.
Within them,
lies those
still
enslaved by
the very fruits of their rebellion.

I know I'm not alone in the dark, the trees keep me company.

I haven't had a Tumblr in literally years and years.
I was a heavy Tumblr user from 2014 - 2017
And then became an adult and just forgot it existed
Tbh it feels so good to be back
I deleted all my other social media and it is so nice to be in a place where nobody knows me yet

The European Commission and the European Parliament really disappointed me and I'm sure that I'm not alone. Because they are saying that they are trying to protect smaller authors and creators in the Europe, but in fact their current version of the article 13 could destroy thousands of them. Yes, I know the article 13 should protect film studios, musicians, writers and others artists from the illegal distribution of their works. So for an example there shouldn't be web sides where is a possibility to download movies, songs, books or another artistic works for free, because that's illegal. There should be only web sides, which have a contract with the company or directly an artist who own mentioned product and I agree with this. But what about our youtubers a lot of them could be destroyed and why? Just because of the current version of the article 13 doesn't think about exceptions. Thousands of people across the Europe could lose their jobs, because of this. The article 13 says that people can't work with things, which they didn't create. But what about "let's players", because they didn't create games, which they are playing. But when we think about that they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal, because they bought games or got them from developers. When we're watching "Let's plays or gaming video" from "gamer" we can hear him/her to talk about the game quality. In fact by playing and talking about games they make an advertising to the developers and gaming industry. So I think that there should be a better definition for them. Another category are reaction videos or reviews, because there could be some troubles too so there are another missing definitions. The same problem is with tutorials, educational videos or various types of compilations, because there we need some definitions as well. And finaly special categories like parodies, covers or karaoke which should have some special rules. Right now the Article 13 is so poorly defined that it's in conflict with freedom of an expression and human rights. So I hope that together with EU we will find a solution that will be good for everyone.
Our children in Gaza are facing a famine that is affecting their health and lives after the crossings were closed and aid and food were prevented from entering.
