happy pride everyone. remember that the first pride was a riot, we need kink at pride, corpos don't give a shit about us, no cops at pride, and as sappy as it sounds, red is the first colour of the rainbow

1. Should I make a protonmail (significantly more secure than gmail) for the Heoist Philosophy website

2. Should I then, with that protonmail, open a sort of submissions system for communication/questions/public writing?

to be fair, part of the issue is my current disconnection from my other online presence significantly throttling my philosophy's reach, though ironically some people in my irl union are aware of it - though i do feel communal input is important

So as it turns out, HTML can't read non-roman characters or diacritics, and I have to call them manually with HTML ASCII identifiers. The code looks like absolute spaghetti.

Well that was a very tedious overhaul.
welcome to neocities -w- if you're just learning html i recommend going back and forth between w3 and medium as they both have programming resources the other doesn't. which is kinda infuriating

massive visual overhaul of the glossary, plus added terms of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie/proletariat

also self-referential linking so you can navigate the glossary easier and tertiary colouring for understanding major details from a skim

the bizarre thing about looking into the humanity of castro and the snark of lenin and the sarcasm of ho chi minh is it helps me realize i don't have to take everything so formally. i'm human. i can relax a bit and be colloquial, even if the theory i write is much more elaborate

reading about how these guys actually acted also sort of makes them more tangible to me lol. It's really comforting to know that all these people that inspired so much change were also just people too :)

it's very laggy still (this laptop is cobbled together and manually partially upgraded from a poor-quality supposedly all-purpose laptop so that's less on you and more on my hardware) but i have a high enough framerate i can scroll through
