Fun websitehttps://puddletownqueer.neocities.org/

Finally got my just-for-fun site up even if it’s still in its first beginnings. https://puddletownqueer.neocities.org. My code is probably messy & janky since I’m still learning css.

I worked so hard creating a little tea log for myself themed off of a card catalog including making the cards with css https://puddletownqueer.neocities.org/tealibrary

Puddletown Queer

Happy Long Ago Baby!

Growing up with conservative Christian prairie/bonnet books meant a lot of Janette Oke & years ago I (hate)reread the Prairie Legacy books & this absolutely atrociously written line made me laugh so hard, it…it just became my tradition to calligraphy it every Christmas. Because long ago baby. …Coming to earth of a…long ago baby.

had a dream last night that I was at some kind of tea fest—5 whole aisles of it—and I had all the money to spend and I was luxuriously wandering from table to table getting every tea I desired #tea
Because someone was curious: My take on a thematically appropriate gingerbread house this season (specifically the prompt was "A peppermint kaiju in a gingerbread city").
Learning #css makes me think abt how school was so bad for actual learning for me. Nobody’s testing me now or cares if I still need to look up again & again really basic code bc my memory is shit. Javascript seems elusive to me, but every time I look at different examples I feel like I’m slowly internalizing it—but understanding via immersion doesn’t work when you’re cramming for homework/a test. I screw everything up *so that* I’ll understand it & that’s the success of learning, not its failure
Living like it’s the early ‘00s & I just discovered wordart & I cannot rest until all my documents are mess of color & drop shadows, except now it’s #css
I grew up on overbloating my myspace profile with every image I liked, (img scr=[photobucket link] amirite?)& playlists & all those heavy javascript interactable stuffs (I miss refrigerator door so much) & also picking through the html of livejournal layouts for what I could change, so it makes sense I am hyperfixated on learning every visually interesting thing #css can do, even if its a mess. I want all the cool stuff! And there’s so much cool stuff!
Went downtown to see the crows last evening. #portland #crows
Making websites is all about swearing. You curse at the javascript, you curse at the people whose cool ass code uses stuff you can’t implement yourself, you curse at yourself when you forget a curly brace.
