Another one I made a few days ago of Crowley,,
This was actually really fun to make
It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic

that Good Omens trailer was gayer than I remember… and what I remember was pretty gay to begin with

Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner.
A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.
There’s no grooves on a CD tho???
They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.
Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that
well they looked at a record and said “How do we fit more information on this?” to which the reply is “Well either you make the record bigger or the grooves smaller” and making the grooves smaller is way more convenient so they say “Well how do we make the grooves smaller?” and that’s when a total madman comes out with eyes flashing and yells “WITH A LASER!”
And that’s how the CD was invented
As an employee at a tech company I can confirm this is 100% how it went
Well now i know why ur absolutely fucked if ur disk gets scratched

I just finished @seananmcguire‘s Every Heart A Doorway and then I immediately bought the next book in the series (Down Among The Sticks And Bones) and I’m two chapters into that now.
I wish I’d had Nancy when I was a kid. I wish I’d had this series. Nancy’s asexual, Kade’s a trans man, I love Jack probably more than I should, and I wish I’d had an Eleanor. Because even though I didn’t go through a door, even though my mom loved (and loves) me dearly, she just couldn’t be around as much as she needed to and she could never quite “get” me (and still doesn’t sometimes).
With all I’m going through right now, reading the words
“You’re nobody’s rainbow.
You’re nobody’s princess.
You’re nobody’s doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.”
is incredibly comforting and affirming right now.
My only complaint about EHAD is that it’s TOO DAMN SHORT.
But then that’s what the rest of the series is for, I suppose.
