That last paragraph is pure poetry. "Like a Devonian sea creature that had just evolved jaws." Hahaha! As for the type, I imagine that they are just shore crabs no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinus_maenas
Hmmm...the Pacific equivalent might be a species of Hemigrapsus, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemigrapsus_takanoi or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemigrapsus_sanguineus ...But I'm not sure, so I will keep looking...
Thanks. I like your writing too and I'm looking forward to going through your website. Though I'm a bit disappointed that your "Centring text" is not a guide on how to center text in css. I can never remember how to do that properly.
LOL! i will write a blog post about literally centring text. can i mention you in the post?
Thanks for the complement. I really need to update that gallery with newer art someday.
really glad you have found so much value in keeping your art small and personal like that, since have also had the same experience this past year.
something something, let's make our own memefactory social media
internet is serious business
I have been poking around on Indieweb recently too and it's very technical. Maybe I have low standards for groups but I don't think memes are necessary, there's enough of them on the broader web / social media sites / circulating in private discords. Sure, a bit of extra humor might go a way to attracting members but if the core isn't right, memes aren't going to make me stick around.
immediately adding a meme hoard to the to do list for my site
My opinion on the Indieweb movement is that it's way too technical. But there really aren't many avenues for less tech savvy people to set up websites. I don't think I would have had the time to learn all the html and css I needed to make this barely functional site if not for the pandemic.
