I wanted to keep the title---and the question, for that matter---generic, but my use case is that I want to make a backup of my posts on Tildes, and I'd fancy automating that with a script that curls up my user page and downloads fresh stuff from there periodically. So for my personal case, the question is that is this allowed / welcome practice?
The generic question is that is it welcome to scrape Tildes' public pages, in general?

it has not been about a month since the last thread, but it would probably be more convenient to just do these threads on the first day of each month instead of in the middle of the month and waiting for another twenty or so days to get on that track is ridiculous, so i'm going to just start this one now and then do the next one on may 1st. anyways, we're back again! here you can share/provide updates on some of the projects that you're working on. they can be of any kind--digital, physical, work related, passion project, whatever. pretty straightforward, i think.

<Insert intro explaining the lack of an intro.>raindrop
on the tongue
of the parched, de-
flated beach ball
in the hands of the young, lit
cig 'tween the fingers
of a nun,
one sin's never gonna be enough
fuck the prose
words will never be enough.
the writing's on the walls
but you can't read it
you aren't here
i need a sign you
can't ignore or a call
you're bound to hear
.
the words just aren't enough
on their own
to pull my heart strings
i can't find peace
without my blood
on guitar strings.
.
the words are going cold
the poetry has not a heartbeat.
i need to take the stage
and pray to god that they can't see me.

~sports has been a bit empty lately. With the end of the NBA regular season I thought we could open this up to discussion of how the season went for your team, notable moments, what you didn't expect etc...
I'll start off, as an Orlando Magic fan I'm so incredibly psyched we finally made the playoffs, it's been too damn long. Speaking of the playoffs, how wild is it that Lebron's streak of finals appearances ends with him completely missing the playoffs? Is there even any point in the playoffs this season because the Golden State Monstars could just steamroll everyone in their way.
