trying to figure out the best / most convenient way to code my yearly media log for this year bc last year's got REALLY slow to load/update by the end of the year.... surely there's an easier way than copy-pasting the code for each individual item but i cannot for the life of me figure it out

i could do javascript objects (like on my hill house covers page) but that'd still be tedious to update.... i was investigating using a google sheet as a backend for it but i don't love the idea of it being dependent on another website to keep running.... much to consider (& if anyone has suggestions pls lmk!!)

ikwym! i have a similar issue with a media log/monthly update page. First off I love how you visualize data on your logs! Second, if youre worried about the user experience I would say that most people that are invested enough to explore will be patient enough to let everything load, but you could also consider a site preload option? And if you find a solution for handling updates let us know! it'll come. xo

aw thank you!! it's less user experience (tho obv that's always a concern too) and more that it started lagging pretty badly when i was typing things into the file (definitely partly bc i was writing directly into the neocities editor, which i don't generally do except for smth that needs little updates constantly like this - but it gets p slow once you pass 2k lines of html lmao). we'll see where i end up!

caveat: idk shit about fuck wrt dataviews n stuff but have you considered obsidian+various apps/addons including dataview? i know some ppl do some real neat stuff with it! but that's lowkey depending on another site so perhaps not but i just wanted to bring it up!

i've tried to wrap my head around obsidian a few times and it hasn't ever properly clicked for me tbh!! i think i'm gonna go the google sheet route after all + just try to paste it directly into my site at the end of the year for safekeeping maybe!

I agree with the sentiment, but merely want to point out that some would argue that ignoring race completely makes it difficult to address the issues racism still causes. Nevertheless, a world where skin color is as relevant as eye color is one worth moving towards.

It's weird, in Hawaii, people have a very cavalier manner of speaking about race distinctions, as a byproduct of diverse immigration. It's a normalized part the broader island culture to tease each other based on race stereotypes. Now I'm in Oregon, and Portlanders can get very tight/tense when talking about race.

It's a predominantly white liberal city, which is a counterweight to the state's rough history of KKK and white supremicism. Some POCs feel the woke movement's hyperfixation on race identity has actually made them more uncomfortable, while others lean into the opportunities that have opened because of it. Shit's weird, dawg.

Xpaper, you're right. I don't mean to suggest ignoring it to the point of ignoring issues, or culture for a related matter. Unfortunately, society as a whole isn't showing signs of systemic issues going away any time soon.

Updated main page with a New Years Greeting! Also actually fixed the Halloween counter this time (hopefully) Nightmarish New Years to ye all and let's hope many more gifs are unearthed to be displayed in the Horror Gif Necronomicon in the years to come!
