Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

Richie tozier, oldest child

hey if you’re attached to the characters in the clown movie can y’all reblog this post and tag it with your favourite member of the losers club and whether you’re the oldest/middle/youngest sibling or an only child?? I’m curious to see if there’s a correlation

😭 This 100% happened

stanley uris is the first person richie tozier comes out to. he’s fifteen and terrified of the whole thing but he’s not scared to tell stan because he trusts stan and he knows stan will accept him and support him and he’s right because he tells him and stan says “okay richie thank you for telling me now we’ve made popcorn and cookies do you want to watch fresh prince or what?” they go to the same school and share a dorm room and eventually an apartment and richie never complains when stan spreads a puzzle out on their coffee table and stan never complains when richie spends an hour in the shower practicing various voices where he thinks nobody can hear him. richie gets out of the shower and goes in the kitchen and stan is making a sandwich and he says “the british guy is getting better” and richie grins and shakes his wet hair all over stan and steals half his sandwich, but it’s not really stealing, because he knows stan and he knows half was for him anyway. richie is the first person stan tells about patty and richie’s eyes well up with tears and he claps stan on the shoulder and says “hell yeah staniel always knew you were a lady killer” and stan rolls his eyes but it means something to have richie be proud of him. stan is the first person richie tells about eddie and stan says “okay richie i support you i think he’s nuts and i think you’ll kill each other someday but you’ve been stupid gone for him since third grade so i support you” and richie laughs and knows stan’s being dramatic but it means something to have stan’s support. they are the best man at each other’s wedding. richie is the fourth person to hold stan’s firstborn son (because the doctor, patty, and stan himself are the first three) and he nearly cries when stan says “his middle name is richard”.
