Added a /uses page because why not. And also added a new episode writeup about Steven Universe Future: "Homeworld Bound." Marvel as Steven runs from accountability and gets mad at the Diamonds for being imperfectly accountable. (And yes, I am writing these VERY out of order.)

OK, I did it: I uploaded my new fan site for Steven Universe Future. It literally has one page of content at the moment!! I was going to have more done before putting it online, but what the hey, making things in public is fun.

Yay! Yeah, to me the original series and SUF are kind of like apples and oranges: I love them both but they are trying to accomplish different things. I didn't see SUF getting a lot of love online and then I realized I could do that with the power of HTML. ^.^

I got way behind on adding people I follow to my links page. Y'all are a weird and wonderful bunch. Half the time I don't even understand what you're doing, but keep doing it.

Just now found your Muppet tarot deck. I'm not usually a big fan of pop culture based tarots because they often display a pretty poor understanding of tarot archetypes, but the way you put this deck together is SO SMART. Bravo.

Thank you SO MUCH! This is such a sweet message. I totally agree- I think a lot of pop culture tarot decks are very lazy, and I tried really hard to really match each archetype to the character.

I finally posted an essay that I've been working on for about 3 months about revolutions in systems and platforms for posting content online and how de-corporatizing them will not lead to the kind of free, equitable internet people hope for. It was one of those things originally meant for the Spare Words section, but then morped into a 4,000 word essay against my will.

Bravo! I enjoyed reading! I love these quotes, "How internet discourse change if we allowed people to learn in public, which of necessity means making mistakes?" and "good internet just as importantly depends on our tolerance for incompleteness and imperfection." Finding human pockets of the internet is what keeps me surfing and doom scrolling. Those fleeting moments give me hope.

"everyone’s feeds became well-crafted soundbites", accidentally read as well-scrambled soundbites and it seems to fit my overall feeling of social media sites. I could relate a lot to your writings on academia as well (I also left, for various reasons). I made a short comic panel about social media recently with a similar conclusion that going at our own pace instead of feeling pressured to post seems better.

Overall I could relate a lot to your writing and it was kind of refreshing, actually, to just read someone else feeling frustrated about the whole experience

This was a great piece of writing. Very relatable too. Made me think a lot about my own social media use and experiences (I'm currently on Mastodon, but I have my reservations) among other things.

i love your distinction between a private journal and a public blog -- i think the web has made externally-oriented the default rather than internally-oriented! if we write something but no one reads it, what was the point? similarly if we had a thought/reflection. i often wonder whether we'd be happier/healthier if we were internally-oriented primarily, if sitting and daydreaming were a natural activity on its own.

Thank you all for your kind words. I was kind of frustrated by how much time this essay sucked up, so I am glad that my curmudgeonly opinions resonate.

Also, sorbier, you remind me of the Pascal quote: "All of man’s misfortune comes from one thing, which is not knowing how to sit quietly in a room." A good reminder humans have been dealing with this long before the internet.

I enjoyed your page about polar expeditions. I got mildly obsessed with the Franklin expedition earlier this year. The fact that so many people died, and that it took so long for them to die, sets it apart from a lot of other similar disasters.

it really is such a phenomena! my favorite thing about it is that it touches so many lives still today in so many ways, even though people don't realize it. i am glad you enjoyed my unfinished page lol!!

Complete site redesign! I've been working on this on and off since April and I'm very excited to have it go live. I designed the site from scratch and every line of code was written by me. I haven't added much new content yet, but will be soon.

Hi all, big news (well, for me anyway.) I finally got this site hosted on its own domain. You can see it at emilynhoward.com. Thanks to my partner, without whom I would have a really hard navigating this web hosting stuff. I plan to still publish a mirror site on Neocities but haven't set that up yet. AND I'm working on a complete site redesign that's 100% coded by me, rather than from a template.

Gave the same flexbox treatment to the Writing and Links pages. I also added a lot of links! It now contains everyone I follow on Neocities. I am beginning to think seriously about redesigning this site although I don't know what it will look like yet. If all goes to plan, it will soon be hosted on my own server and I will use Github to push a mirror site to Neocities.
