November link-round up, electric boogaloo
Nov. 29th, 2025 12:53 pmI know I already did this for November, consider this a freebie since I didn't do these over the summer. :)
* instagram's been impossible to view for those without an account for ages, but imginn.com seems to be doing the trick! not RSS-able, but good to bookmark for the handful of artists only on there. in addition to xcancel that I've mentioned in an earlier roundup, twstalker is another "view twitter without an account" wrapper; the latter lets you see who people follow which is useful when finding new artists/animators, but the former has a better media tab.
* "good places to find photo references (and more) without AI" - not just photo resources, but modeling, film screencaps, clothing, etc! I even found a really cool RSS-able film screencap archive that I didn't know about from there. was awesome seeing the list made by another dreamwidth user :D
* a different kind of cult intervention - fascinating article on a more subtle kind of cult intervention; personally resonated with this because it mirrors how I approach deradicalization in general.
* "Like That" - a good blog post that resonated, on why it feels easier to watch some movies than others.
* xkcd.com/3172
* interesting postmortem on a korean fellow who DM'd a presidential candidate and built his campaign; was fun to read for what it is and also culturally; there's some further links to follow up on.
* hackers (1995) soundtrack - a great EBM/techno blast from the past from that era
* 74 pdf scans of gay/leather mag Honcho on archive.org!
