Frames from filmstrips I'm trying to save, without context. Owned and operated by @uncommnephemera.

I've mentioned I have the sense of humor of an 8-year-old. Last night on Is This Anything, that 8-year-old was rewarded with a tape from an Arizona vacation where the cameraman relieves his gastrointestinal distress.

The audio is gone forever. But these mind-bending images survive from the educational filmstrip “Drug Abuse: Glue-Sniffing and Pills” (1968).

It's just one example of over 1,300 filmstrips preserved on the @internetarchive by @uncommnephemera

Educational filmstrips were weirder than you remember:

*Gonorrhea dragons
*Scooby-Doo teaching acne prevention
*Christian mime ministries
*Superheroes teaching etiquette

I profiled @uncommnephemera, who's preserved 1,300 examples of this vanishing medium. Link below or in bio.

NEWLY RESTORED at the @internetarchive: Did you know Hanna-Barbera made #filmstrips? In this #Jetsons filmstrip, a teaching robot tells George and Elroy about diseases and conditions related to poor nutrition.
