there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.

who is this man and what music did he make???

if you hear a royalty free song on youtube, there’s approximately an 80% chance Kevin Macleod wrote it.

here’s some you’ve almost definitely heard:

for those wondering, yes, he also made THE generic royalty free song that was EVERYWHERE in 2014.

He has a Patreon!

And he doesn’t even make a 1000$ per month!

also, his site incompetech.com also has graph paper generators, if you’re in need of that. It has any kind of graph paper - INCLUDING hex paper, you tabletop gamers out there! (or knitting paper if you’re into that)

HOHOHOHO?

Y'all, I’ve been a fan of Kevin MacLeod for YEARS. I can identify his music within two seconds. He’s a fucking genius and he deserves all the love and credit and money people can give.

He scored invader zim AND xiaolin showdown

one of the deans in beijing dance academy rehearses with students

#he’s so good damn#obvs he doesn’t have the same athleticism as the students#but he’s so much more in control of his body#he moves much more self assuredly#and doesn’t exaggerate the way the more inexperienced ones do#he knows exactly what to do and how to do it naturally#wow

Oh so that’s what books mean when they talk about seeing a swordperson or a martial artist move and immediately knowing you’re fucked. If I saw someone handle a weapon or switch martial art stances that smoothly and with that economy of motion, I would immediately know I was going to die.

Oh, what a blast from the past! They’re (and more importantly, he’s) doing a type of Mongolian folk dance.

I recognize this track because my Chinese folk dance group used the same one when my teacher taught us a similar dance, ha ha. I haven’t heard it in more than 15 years, but bam, there is is. We basically ripped the track from this master dance.

The dean here is Jiang Tiehong 姜铁红!

I think, I THINK here Jiang is at 3:00 in an older (1986 from the description) performance of this dance. In another video, somebody says that he and the four dancers immediately around him in white went on to become teachers at Minzu University of China, and I believe it, ha ha. He’s also listed as a famous soloist for this dance and was a student of Minzu University of China, so I imagine he earned his solo then (and maybe this is one of those student performances!), and has been reprising it for fun anniversary performances and teaching moments like the one that went viral this year. I am cobbling this together without reading primary sources, so grain of salt.

(I have complicated feelings about “Chinese folk dance”, the dance traditions of ethnic minority groups in China, and the Han-ification of them, but this performance objectively rocks. Also, the Minzu University of China is cooler than most because their education is focused on the ethnic minorities of China.)

the singular unfortunate effect of getting really into discworld at a young age is that i formed a Certain Impression about the purpose of footnotes, and now i am entering academia and it is still my true and firm belief that the footnotes are for being funny in and NOTHING else

always so touching and vibrant when you remember people a hundred years ago had profound lives full of fun and love

my great grandparents met because they were both telephonist-telegraphists and they used to communicate in spoken morse code so that their kids wouldn’t understand the dirty jokes they were saying. And my great-aunt was telling me the other day about how her father would sit with his kids during stormy nights and hug them as they looked out the window and he pointed out how beautiful the lightning was. Because he didn’t want them to be afraid. It isn’t far away but it’s easy to forget that people are people are people

isn’t it cool that we still take silly pictures where we pretend to put our baby niece for sale or where we pretend to officiate a funeral on the beach? I think that’s neat

In one of my family’s old photo albums from around the 1910’s-20’s there’s a picture of a dog sitting on a chair and wearing a hat.

This is my great grandma and her friends on a beach in Connecticut in 1918.

some of my faves are the ones where people have a new outfit or car, maybe even a hot date or the squad’s looking good tonight and they just had to capture their own coolness on film

Masterclass in darning

This is quantum physics in theory (incomprehensible unless you’re a hardore math simp) but in practice it is Black Magic (you have to sell your soul and sabity in order to perform it).

btw @ everyone who can’t wrap their heads around this, here’s a longer video going into more detail about prepping the damaged area and mending/darning technique with actual explanations!

rb with this more detailed method which will make a more lasting mend.

It’s so weird to me when people are like ‘but that will cost the government money!’ So what? They’re the government, they’re supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.
