Rec'd on 📰 11/27: YOUR FAVORITE PRINT MEDIA
The gainesville iguana
I'm admittedly a sucker for a local paper, and that increases tenfold when it shines light on otherwise underreported stories through a progressive lens. In Gainesville, this manifests in The Gainesville Iguana. You can find them at pretty much any record store, library, etc... for free!!!! The ads also expose you to local establishments and groups you might otherwise not have known about. There's a sense of community that emanates from the paper that you don't get in any of your other standard publications.

local papers
My city has a small local newspaper and it’s awesome. Once a week they have an artfully designed front cover, a new crossword(my fav) and sudoku, news stories from the week, classifieds, and an events section letting you know all the little happenings throughout that week, with a whole dedicated section for music stuff going on around town. it makes me happy

Your local paper
I grew up delivering newspaper with my parents to make ends meet. Thanksgiving was interesting because the paper was thick with Black Friday ads. I went to the dollar store yesterday and saw a Sunday paper for only $2. It was thick with Black Friday ads. Support local journalism so we can have a Secret Third Thing for information, besides social media influencers & major publications like NYT and WaPo.

local student paper / alt mag
if my bunk ass town has one yours definitely must. that's the #1 place to go if you want to get covered - they're usually starved for content and jump at the chance to cover something local - especially if it's diy and artsy

wikipedia rabbit holes
It's far too easy for me to burn a few hours digging through Wikipedia hyperlinks and trawling through yards of text. It's a very fun way to gain cursory knowledge about possibly obscure topics, and you can find some pretty bizarre stuff if you know where to look.

walking through a place you normally drive by
It can give new perspective on what's actually around you. A lot of the time, the veil of the windshield and fiberglass can keep the outside world as more of a backdrop instead of a lived-in space.

An in-browser toybox OS that has a bunch of fun stuff packed into it. I probably haven't seen everything on it even though I've known about it for a few years. Used to host myspace93 which was one of my favorite social sites in high school lmao.
