Ok Neocities keeps making the SECOND page I update the main thumbnail instead of the first... what gives?

Omg @Vashti i clicked delete on your comment instead of reply... you essentially said it seems to have to do w what pages are updated most frequently but that you don't get it. I'm with you. This page https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/writings/undocumented explains but my experience has not been quite matching

Once again you are capturing the human condition

@manulzone this comment is so reassuring somehow. thank you!

I am similarly not able to protest. If you get arrested, you could potentially be barred from teaching, or in my case, ever getting licensed. & in our beloved country, I can get arrested for exercising "my right" to peacefully protest. Yippee ♡!

At some point, all I can wonder is why we even bother calling it "a right" if we're not allowed to do it, or only able to do so conditionally. Rights don't exist on paper, they exist in practice.

Completely agree Vashti. The dissonance people seem to have on this is insane. Most of the people around me think the protests are going too far, while saying they appreciate protests. They're all fixated on the "right" way to protest while paying absolutely no attention or to playing neutral about the actual issue at hand. They dont care if anything gets done, they just want the protests to stop. :(

Behold the q&a that somehow took me all day to complete even though I feel i barely scratched the surface of any of these questions. Thanks again <3

This was so interesting to read ! I guess I'll send you an in depth email later, but your words about makeup are very interesting to me as someone who is philosophically opposed to the idea of makeup

Very interesting!

Whoops broke the link by archiving the page if you want to read still here you go https://cheytopia.neocities.org/archive/qa100

I'm sorry to hear that you were struggling to integrate in the new group! It can be really hard feeling like the odd person out when everyone seems well-acquainted, and what sucks is that you haven't really had the chance to mingle at rehearsal :/ at least you have a chance to lay horizontally Thursday night!!

It's ok! Doesn't hurt my feelings or anything just leaves me scratching my head a bit lol. Like it's back to the drawing board I guess! But still much to celebrate and much to look forward to!

@Chey, props to you for taking the initiative! I've been living like a hermit for the past couple of months.

@vashti hermitude (a word I made up I'm convinced should be real) can be so delicious and restorative! It's definitely more comfortable than putting yourself out there. I'm hoping more exposure to these situations gives me some more resilience when it comes to social anxiety. I think the situation would've benefited from a bit more structure lol.

re: "Hermitude," I use that word all the time! Annoyed it isn't "real" LOL

@vashti ah so it isn't my creation. it just makes sense though!

"Just being alive is a good enough reason to celebrate" WORD!!!!!! Being alive is a miracle in itself, we should make the most of what this lifetime has to offer!! Your weekend-y weekend sounds fabulous (aside from the Man) and I'm happy you took full advantage of it!! ♡♡

I agree! I'm so glad that resonated <3 Life's too short not to make it fun when you can, whatever that means for you.
