i deleted it because it had gotten a lot of comments from strangers and that overwhelmed me ngl, but i saw what you suggested about lazy loading and/or hosting my images on here. i'll consider the lazy loading because it seems easier, 'though i'll have to learn a bit more about it. i use catbox because it's easy. the gimmick of my site is that there is no gimmick and i really do live in a shithole

saw what i think was a joke at disabled people's expense on here. blocked the guy, mostly moving on. i hate talking about this shit because i always feel like a chronically online whiner for it. maybe i am. but i feel crushed. it just fucking sucks

i am not ashamed to admit that i am a sensitive guy and sensitivity is fucking awesome. being cold and entirely unserious and ironypoisoned is cold and dull and mindnumbing. i've tried it. i prefer hurting. because i prefer caring

there has been a very conscious effort by the right over the past ....forever... to frame people with empathy as whiny and ineffectual, and frame genuine concerns as minor complaints. not that you need my permission but i encourage you to continue being sensitive

i don't know if you can call it empathy if you're feeling what you're feeling on your own behalf (i am disabled, after all) as much as the others'. maybe it's just, idek, part of me or what i do or us or what we do
your website is very inspiring. it makes me feel awful. i mean that in the most complimentary way possible. i love your moodboard. i think i'll set up a cardboard box outside and stay forever

and, because of that, i'm doing the bare minimum for stuff like this as long as i can get away with it. i'll implement lazy loading soon if it's as easy as i think, but doing a mass conversion/edit of my photos will have to wait until i'm not so exhausted by my living situation. thank you for your suggestion
It's easy, you just need to add loading="lazy" to your img tag, and then the image will only load when it enters the viewport.
For thumbnails, you wrap a link around a lower resolution image, which opens the high res one when clicked.
Hope that helps.
i did it, did that help at all?
i added the lazy loading, i mean. did that help?
Yes that helped a lot, now I recommend you use imgBB.com to quickly generate image links with a thumbnail if you don't wanna do that manually.
