So, I haven’t written anything on tumblr in a long time. I haven’t reblogged, nor even been to my dashboard in months.
But, I wanted to say something.
This is to the people who I talk to online, the people I see every day, the people who I don’t see as much as I like, the people who I play games with frequently, the people who I talk to in various IRC channels, the people who I look up to, the people who look down on me, the people who despise or hate me, the people who love me or care for my well being, and to the people who I’ve only seen from afar.
In some way, big or small, you’ve affected who I am. You’ve changed a part of me for better or worse, and by doing so have become a part of my life.
Thank you.

I can’t fucking read anything on there. Seriously, what a stupid font. That shits god damn annoying.
“This year, after having amassed a collection of more than 20,000 books, officials at the pristine campus about 90 minutes west of Boston have decided the 144-year-old school no longer needs a traditional library. The academy’s administrators have decided to discard all their books and have given away half of what stocked their sprawling stacks - the classics, novels, poetry, biographies, tomes on every subject from the humanities to the sciences. The future, they believe, is digital.
“When I look at books, I see an outdated technology, like scrolls before books,’’ said James Tracy, headmaster of Cushing and chief promoter of the bookless campus. “This isn’t ‘Fahrenheit 451’ [the 1953 Ray Bradbury novel in which books are banned]. We’re not discouraging students from reading. We see this as a natural way to shape emerging trends and optimize technology.’’
Instead of a library, the academy is spending nearly $500,000 to create a “learning center,’’ though that is only one of the names in contention for the new space. In place of the stacks, they are spending $42,000 on three large flat-screen TVs that will project data from the Internet and $20,000 on special laptop-friendly study carrels. Where the reference desk was, they are building a $50,000 coffee shop that will include a $12,000 cappuccino machine.
And to replace those old pulpy devices that have transmitted information since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1400s, they have spent $10,000 to buy 18 electronic readers made by Amazon.com and Sony. Administrators plan to distribute the readers, which they’re stocking with digital material, to students looking to spend more time with literature.”
It begins.
Dear Headmaster Tracy: books are not a “technology”. You’re fired. Pack your things and get the hell away from academia.
Also, I’ll just be over here in the corner, crying.
This breaks my heart.
I only read on occasion, and I’m certainly no Literature major, but this is just fucking retarded.
