So I have updated the site's CSS significantly. It has been a supremely long and exhausting process, I'm not sure I even know how to best explain it all.

I started doing this because I felt my code had become a disorganised mess. I had a lot of cases where I'd just add elements to a given set of styles, then exceptions later on, creating an intermingling of shared base rules and then re-styling. At the same time I thought I'd try my hand at reorganising it all to use nested rules, for more modern conventions, so this gave me an opportunity to give it a thorough look-over.

Things got a bit out of hand.

I want to write more blog posts here. Or in the very least, it's something I feel I should be doing. The blog section exists for sharing some long-form thoughts and more textual parts of my projects, but I've barely touched it and I fear that may give an impression that I've neglected this place. Or if not that, my neglect leads to falling out of habit of writing things here.

That latter point is where I think several causes may lie.

This post admittedly become something of a vent. I'm not really sure if it's a productive vent in the end — I'm sure there's a non-zero number of visitors to my website who barely know me, and maybe there's stuff in here they don't actually need to know. All that said, it's the best way I felt I could elucidate these feelings.

Content warnings: mentions of death, harassment

With the unfortunate closure of Cohost, the internet is once again looking a large and unknown land where it is very difficult to find your way. However there is some amongst us trying to fight that and bring back the classic 88x31 personal link buttons.

We went through an era of forgetting about linking to personal websites, because everyone was all on Twitter or the like. There was no buttons — heck no RSS either — Twitter took that too. It's so bad honestly — I went looking for new button images to use and some webcomics that I know did have buttons to use no longer do.
