HELLO NEOCITIES!
Given the precarity of several social media platforms right now, and the fact that social media in general sucks ass and balls, I decided to make a space that is entirely my own. After weeks of learning CSS/HTML mostly through trial and error, many months of procrastination, and about a dozen layout redesigns, it's finally ready!
I'm not abandoning everywhere else just yet though, as I summarized on my Tumblr blog:
So while I’ve decided to stick around, I’m changing how I use this site. I’ll still engage in casual discussion (just on a less frequent basis) but any multi-paragraph posts about serious topics will be going on my personal website. From now on this is mostly just a place for me to share stuff that I enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck around long enough to finally see this blog return to its original purpose.

There were other factors prompting my decision to scale back my presence on other websites, but for the sake of brevity I won't get into all that right now. Simply put, I want to return to interacting with the internet in a way that is actually socially fulfilling. I want to prioritize things that actually matter to me.
I want to take back control of my online experience. So here we are. The site's pretty bare-bones at the moment, and the layout is extremely utilitarian, but you know what? I kinda like it.
Glad to be here!
