Fold the top corner of the page down! I tend to lose/ destroy paper bookmarks, so to keep my spot (and overcome the fear of damaging personal property), I do that little fold and not worry about it!

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered
