Hey there! wanted to say thank you for the reader mode article. Didn't know about it before and it makes reading stuff much easier for me (espacially on mobile). I did my best to enable it on most pages on my site (I'll probably go back to try wrangle the stray few that won't cooparate). So yeah- thanks! and you have a cool site!

Your autistic adulthood blog post just made me connect the dots on my own childhood speech therapy. It was "s" and "th" for me!

I think I might've struggled with those too, but I'm not sure! It's neat to hear that other people have had similar experiences though haha

Thank you for following my website and I hope that you continue to enjoy the quikscript alphabet.

I wouldn't have found it without stumbling across your site! I use Elian in my own journal, and quikscript looks like a useful addition for me. Alternate alphabets are neat.

For whatever reason, Neocities isn't letting me comment on seemingly random profiles. I've confirmed it's not caused by blocking- I reached out to a site and checked on that since I was fairly sure I wasn't blocked. Unsure why this is happening.

Asked around and apparently being blocked by a few people might be enough for Neocities to do this to you on profiles that don't follow you back? I guess some folks must have blocked me. Wild that there's enough of them for this to happen, and good on them for exercising their right to view the web how they prefer to.

Regardless, I can't comment on a lot of profiles now. If someone isn't following me, then I can't leave a comment on their Neocities profile at all. Others should still be able to comment on mine. If anything happens to prevent that, then my guestbook can be found on my buttons page, and email is always a solid option- feel free to email me on a whim! Owl photos get bonus points.

you can allow or disallow all comments on a profile as a site owner. are we sure this isn't about that?
Neocities isn't letting me reply on accessiblenet, so I'm responding here re:Javascript; I know some folks turn it off because Javascript is often used in privacy-violating ways on the corporate web. User experience and performance are another reason: https://www.wired.com/2015/11/i-turned-off-javascript-for-a-whole-week-and-it-was-glorious/

Hey owlroost, this is scopefilter's other site. Your site design is so relaxing to look at.

Thank you! It's shifted a lot over the last two years, but I'm pretty happy with it at the moment.

I'm glad I could help! It really is a hidden button sometimes, isn't it? Best of luck getting those last few to cooperate, and thanks for putting in that effort (and for the compliment)!
