Lots of little updates today- mostly styling, with a few tweaks to existing pages.

I continue to be charmed by the overabundance of sharks in the regular background, and the new border is fun. The CSS for the non-eona pages interacts strangely with my browser's dark mode flag, I think? Looks fine in the neocities preview but when I actually view it, both the text and the content boxes are dark colors.

Huh, odd. I'll check over the dark mode media query changes and see if something broke- thanks for letting me know.

Can definitely relate to the stylesheet nuking urge. Figma prototyping is a smart idea! May need to try it. I usually scratch the itch by either refining the existing sheet (can I make it shorter? cleaner?) or making templates and sharing those in hopes of helping out a new webmaster somewhere.

Making templates is a great idea too, tbh, I am considering doing that just to exercise my ~design~ skills!

I may sound basic for this but I love playing Arctic Monkeys songs lol. And I know one (1) RHCP song so maybe that makes me less basic haha! Nice to see a fellow bassist on here as well <3

Hey, I've been working on Dark Necessities by RHCP. They have some great bass parts! What's the one you know?

I've recently learned Otherside bc I think it's their easiest one? I super love playing the bridge on that song!! I'd love to learn Dark Necessities too since I really like that song ^_^

Thanks for the link. Some interesting points you've brought up there about web mentions. Might make a little update on my post just to keep people in the know. Speaking of links, I think the link on your changelog is broken.

Whoops, thanks for the catch. Forgot part of the link. Should be fixed now.

F2U site template! Something I've always loved seeing from others, so I put one out myself. More to come.

No new thought, just adding dropcaps and indents via a stylesheet.

I always love to see people reimagining gender and especially gendered language as part of their worldbuilding. What a delightful read! Very thoughtful. It's also made me realize that neopronouns are pretty revolutionary, actually, when it comes to their ability to disambiguate between potential referents and putting a picture in the listener's head. Thanks for the thoughts!

This worldbuiding is very interesting, especially the idea of genders going hand in hand with careers. What would happen, though, if there was a carpenter who lost both their hands or something that prevented them from working? Would they count as a retired carpenter? what if they needed to find a new job just for the sake of making more money? This is fascinating.

And likewise to you! Your site's design is giving me some fantastic ideas (and finally pushed me to start playing with CSS animation).

I've started figuring out CSS animations and I'm having altogether too much fun with this.

Will have to catch up on Eona stuff when I have a bit more time, but I really enjoyed crash. It's got such good sounds for reading out loud, and it reminds me very much of my favorite scene from Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Thank you! Glad to hear it- that poem's one I've been rewriting repeatedly ever since early high school. I think this is one of the first versions I've been mostly happy with.
