family channels should absolutely be banned off of youtube. children cannot consent to having their entire lives, often with their most private moments such as breakdowns lecturning and puberty, on youtube, nor should they be forced to work and create content for chanels so that their parents can make thousands or millions of dollars

solitaire is a literal ad for tumblr

alice omg todays update was SO GREAT i loved it <3 also TORI AND MICHAEL BRAINROT

I'm sooooo glad so many of you enjoyed seeing Tori and Michael again!!!! They'll be back later in the chapter.....

1996 photos (a Polaroid and the proposed cover) that were meant to have been on the cover of Wired magazine in the UK. I think I preferred the one they finally used from a different part of the photoshoot because it was impossible to see what I looked like in it, so I was on the cover of a magazine and anonymous at the same time. But these were sweet. I guess they would have painted out the wires if they had used one of them.
