And every day i regret getting rid of it. And no buying one wouldn’t be the same, I want MY old blue iPod! before that I had a portable tape player that came with a fabric multicolour case in the shape of a dragon that doubled as a bag, and had speakers, but I mostly used that for audiobooks on holiday or sleepovers at my grandparents as I listened to stuff to go to sleep. At home I had a little green cd and tape player that was very round and very cute. In my tweens/early teens I decided to be cool and weird and ditch new technology and replaced my iPod with a cd walkman, and my motoroler razor flip phone for an old Nokia brick. (Mostly because I was bad for losing things and I was scared of losing fancy phones).

I’m currently Fixated on how beautiful the apple iPod classic lineup was. i got obsessed with Steve Jobs ipod introducing keynotes and i bought myself a 5.5gen for Valentine’s Day. now i can have over a thousand songs in my pocket
shoutout to the iPod nano generations those guys too were legitness. i used the 4th gen as a kid
highly recommend grabbing one of these, getting some albums off Bandcamp, and going for a walk w ur middle school earbuds in
truly timeless devices

the princess diaries 2 soundtrack lived in my discman. our living room radio was for radio disney. the boxy glitchy little alarm clock/radio/tape player in my bedroom was for jazz. when cds lived outside of my discman, i could offer them a home in my blue and orange nickelodeon karaoke machine (just a small boom box w/ attached microphone lol, pictured here). & when i was 11 i got an ipod shuffle that i wore around my neck and filled with songs mostly by lemon demon and smoosh (smoosh had recently been profiled in american girl magazine).

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
